i <br /> i <br /> j Board of Selectmen Meeting <br /> Executive Session <br /> May 14, 1996 <br /> The meeting convened at 8.20 p.m. Present were Chairman Sally Hoyt, Vice Chairman George <br /> Hines, Secretary Camille Anthony, Selectman Bruce MacDonald, Town Manager Peter <br /> Hechenbleikner, Town Counsel Theodore Cohen, RMLD General Manager Len Rucker. <br /> The Town Manager reviewed the status of the project to date. Rucker noted that the RMLD <br /> Board is unwilling to go beyond an Activities and Use Limitation for the property. They will not <br /> clean up the site as part of this process. Cohen noted that PJC Realty wouldn't say what standard <br /> they would use for clean-up and the scope of work doesn't say what that standard would be <br /> either. A level 3 risk assessment would cost $7,000 - $8,000 for engineering and testing - <br /> probably a maximum of$10,000. MacDonald asked about the carrying costs for the property. <br /> The appraisal did not assume the contamination problem. Rucker felt that there may be a better <br /> market now. <br /> Rucker noted that the RMLD Board came to the conclusion that they would spend up to $5,000 <br /> to give the site an Activities and Use Limitation on the site. MacDonald asked what we gain by <br /> "playing chicken". Rucker noted that the Commission doesn't feel that the rate payer should pay <br /> money for this issue. The options would be to rebid the project, don't rebid the project and do <br /> other things with the property themselves, or get together with the Board of Selectmen. <br /> MacDonald noted that the extension would be for one month so that the issues can be resolved <br /> between the two Boards. George Hines noted that he was okay with the one month extension <br /> until June 14, 1996. MacDonald feels that this is the final extension, but there may be a further <br /> extension. Rucker noted that under the conditions noted in the letter he felt they could extend for <br /> one month. Cohen noted that the Purchase and Sales Agreement allows the extension to happen. <br /> It was suggested that the RMLD Board and the Board of Selectmen meet on the 20th at 8:00 <br /> p.m. There will be no other changes to the Purchase and Sales Agreement. Options discussed <br /> were for the Town to become a partner in the project and in the clean up. <br /> On motion by Hines seconded by MacDonald, the Board voted to adjourn the Executive Session <br /> at 9:25p.m. on a roll call vote with all four members voting in the affirmative. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> t <br /> Secre ary <br />
