The Committee compared the consultants implementation recommendations to their own.
For Public Services and Facilities it was stated that sewer capacity was the number one issue. The discussion of instituting a moratorium on projects while studies are conducted was discussed. Adopting school and traffic impact fees for new developments were discussed, time limits on the utilization of money have to be set. The consultants will have an attorney available at the next meeting to discuss what legal steps can be taken to help alleviate new development impacts.
The remainder of the list was discussed. Many items in the two lists were overlapping. The consultant was going to merge the two documents and have the new table ready for review in approximately two weeks.
The Committee discussed how to conduct a joint board, committee and staff meeting to review implementation recommendations. A presentation with general questions from attendants and round table element discussions were reviewed. The meeting should be restricted to approximately two hours.
Due to the hectic schedules involved preparing for town meeting it was suggested that the joint meeting be postponed until the beginning of June.
Further options on how to conduct the joint meeting will be the next meeting on April 17, 2007 meeting.
