RCL Selectmen Meeting Notes January 22, 2018

1. Much of the meeting was devoted to public comment on a proposed leash law. The Selectmen decided not to propose one at Town Meeting this year.  The matter will nevertheless be discussed at the Deliberative Session as there is a petitioned warrant article on the subject.
2. There were 7 bidders for the salt shed project. The low bid was $504,500, but an additional 25 percent will be added for contingency and engineering, likely enabling only a minor reduction of the $700,000 warrant article amount.
3. The transcriptionist used by the Zoning Board of Adjustment and the Planning Board is no longer willing to do the minutes with the level of detail required by those boards. The town has no solution at this point as transcriptionists are not easy to find.
