In the library construction contract discussions, the board confirmed that the contract includes the additions suggested by Town Council. The contract signing was authorized, with a member given the authority to sign on behalf of the town. The contract’s execution allows Construction Dynamics to proceed with obtaining a building permit. To avoid losing time during the administrative process, the board clarified that the 12-month contract period would start after the permit is issued, which is expected to take about two weeks. The approval of the contract was met with enthusiasm, and a groundbreaking ceremony is anticipated once coordination with Construction Dynamics is finalized. Additionally, there was a reminder to keep a high-quality scanned copy of the contract for insurance purposes.

On the energy front, the board moved on the CCA contract with Colonial Power Group, which had been reviewed and approved by Town Council. The agreement with Colonial Power Group involves no cost to the town, as the broker will receive a small percentage of the funds. The contract was approved unanimously.
