LEARY PROPERTY COMMUNITY HOUSING TASK FORCE <br />Room G -15, Town Office Building <br />Meeting Minutes of February 16, 2011 <br />Present: Bob Bicknell, Stephen Keane, Wendy Manz, Lester Savage, and Betsey Weiss. <br />Bill Hays attended in Mr. Kennedy's stead. <br />Staff: Aaron Henry and Maryann McCall - Taylor <br />Absent: George Burnell, Bill Kennedy, and Deb Mauger <br />Minutes <br />The task Force approved the minutes of the January 19 meeting (as edited). <br />As there was not a quorum present at the February 9 meeting, there were no minutes to <br />approve. Notes from the presentation by Transformations, Inc, were presented to the <br />group, and will be posted to the website. <br />Proposed Development Program Discussion <br />The group's discussion of the development program was largely a conversation about the <br />immediate next steps in the process. It was decided that issuing the Request for Interest, or <br />RFI, should occur only with the assent of the Board of Selectmen. This request should also <br />be accompanied by an update of some sort. This would then be followed by the second <br />community meeting, tentatively set for March 17. <br />A lot of time was spent on the exact wording found in the RFI regarding the number of units. <br />It was unanimously determined that the RFI shall use the phrase "6 to 8 units," to describe <br />the carrying capacity of the site. <br />Action Items <br />1. Staff to email the Task Force its pro forma; <br />2. Request an agenda item on an upcoming Selectmen's' meeting to provide them a <br />status report and to request permission to issue the RFI; and <br />3. Begin preparations for the second community meeting. <br />Future Meetings <br />The next Task Force meetings are tentatively scheduled for: <br />• February 23 - Presentation by the Oxbow developer; and <br />• March 17 - Community Meeting, location TBD <br />
