The last remaining document (i.e.; RFP 2004, schedules, and timelines) requested by the BOS are now in the possession of the Town (BOS, and the NHSC is now waiting for this to come to a close.

After a lengthy discussion an amendment was made and accepted to the motion that these monies be used in connection with the Surfside Road Project and not be used for salaries. The Committee agreed that its vote was subject to review by the Chair and with Community Preservation Coalition that the action and timing was permissible within the scope of the Act.
