2) Steve Elliott and Dawn Tuomala attended the meeting to discuss the Agreement between the Town and CLD Consulting Engineers for do the sidewalk improvement project.  Dawn pointed out three areas that she had questions or concerns about.  One area was the ownership and reuse of the plans, which CLD states  would be their property and the town could not use them when planning for the drainage work to be done on Main Street.  Dawn is concerned that CLD would consult with NRPC on any decisions that need to be made on a daily basis.  Dawn stated that she thought the Steering Committee should be consulted on decisions needed that would directly affect the town,  The final concern was that CLD is aware that there are basements under the sidewalks and that they will deal with any issues that come up concerning these old basements.  It was agreed that this issue should be stated in the contract.   It was also stated that it would be the town’s responsibility to notify owners on Main Street when the engineering work is started and any notice needed during the project.
