Commission prioritizes NRI/ERI work, asks engineering firm to scope gaps
Summary
The Environmental Commission named NRI/ERI work an urgent priority, asked to determine what the town's retainer covers, and proposed Bruce, Jeff and Phil to form the NRI/ERI subcommittee with Bruce able to serve as the voting commissioner.
Commissioners said a Natural Resources Inventory (NRI) must be completed promptly because it will provide the data backbone for an Environmental Resources Inventory (ERI) used to guide acquisitions, restoration, and maintenance priorities. Bruce Flitcroft said he would consult with the town engineering firm (referred to in the transcript as French & Perillo / French & Parello) to determine which NRI services are covered by the current retainer and which will require outside consulting.
The meeting recorded that three members were proposed for the NRI/ERI subcommittee — Bruce, Jeff and Phil — and that a voting commissioner is required; Bruce indicated he can fulfill that role. Commissioners were asked to begin a gap analysis for GIS and other data needs and to identify grants to fund the NRI/ERI work.
