Bob Whritenour was present and discussed the problems in getting access to the Brynwood site . Since May he has been trying to reach their attorney . The attorney wanted a special contract before anyone entered the site but then Bob heard nothing from him regarding language for the contract . The attorney then refused to take calls . On August 8th Bob Whritenour wrote the attorney a letter asking again for their permission to enter the site or the Town will begin to pursue other means . He has contacted town counsel and will initiate anything that needs to be done for the town to enter the site, with or without owner permission . After faxing the letter , Bob received a phone call from an associate in the law firm asking for 1 more day . Bob is moving ahead with town counsel . A temporary taking may need to be done . It may cost the town money but it needs to be done . Paul said delays in getting on the property will cost money also. Appraisers - Bob has not talked with the appraiser to get a report on his work . This is an extension of the contract with Casey and Dennis who worked on the site selection process so no RFP is necessary . Bob had told him to initiate the work but he does not have a status report . Paul said the Committee would like to know when they can expect a full report from the appraiser . An offer to the land owners will be based on this appraisal . The Selectmen have the general authority to move forward and town counsel is drafting an article for town meeting . The Board agreed to ask the Selectmen to take immediate action to get access onto the Brynwood property . ** Paul made a motion to inform the Selectmen that due to lack of ability to get on the site , there may now be project delays and ask them to take any action necessary to obtain access onto the Brynwood site . Merry Sue seconded the motion . All members were in favor . ** 1
