There was discussion about the lack of a contract between the owners of Grain Mill Alley and the Town. Ms. Tintocalis noted that the owners want to see a design before they sign a contract, even if the contract includes an option to not proceed if a design is not acceptable. Mr. Batt agreed that CPA funds in a small amount ($1,500 was referenced) could be used for field testing temporary amenities as part of developing a design, but he stressed the need for something in writing from the owners before spending Town financial resources on private land. After completing the conversation with Mr. Batt, a motion was made and seconded to support the inclusion of field testing temporary materials as part of Article 8 (p) if an appropriate agreement can be reached with the owners of Grain Mill Alley. There was a Roll Call Vote: 6-0 th It was agreed that if there isn’t an agreement with the property owners by April 6, it may be necessary to indefinitely postpone Article 9 (p). Ms. Tintocalis said she would pursue this issue the next day. The meeting was adjourned at 5:25 p.m. The documents used at the meeting are listed below.
