Summary

Staff said FEMA has not issued further payments though extension requests were submitted; the board also agreed to sign state paperwork to confirm 2 Rivers as municipal project manager so the RFP for the Halfway Brook construction can proceed.

Staff reported the town has not yet received further FEMA payments and that extension requests are pending; the next FEMA meeting is scheduled for the 17th and staff did not expect substantive problems but the final FEMA payment has not been received.

Separately, the board reviewed paperwork from the state that requires signatures of two members of the consultant-selection committee to confirm 2 Rivers as the municipal project manager for the Halfway Brook project. The chair said he could sign as the responsible charge but requested at least two additional board signatures so state paperwork can be returned and staff (Rita) can proceed to prepare an RFP for construction.

Board members agreed to provide the necessary signatures so the procurement process can continue.
