Im aware that there are 6 total meetings posted since December 2022, and 5 are missing meeting minutes that must be posted within 30 days of the meeting per the open meeting law in MA.
Since their last posted working meeting was almost 2 months ago on August 22- I’m also finding it hard to believe that the HCAWG hasn’t met to go over what additional proposals they would like Utile to work on; and they haven't met to review any additional proposals Utile created that the HCAWG will be presenting to the planning board on Tuesday, as no upcoming meeting has been posted. At the Oct 10 meeting and the Oct 16 meeting there was not a clear consensus on what the additional proposals should include. It was also stated that they would like to hear proposals and input from the public. How is that possible without a HCAWG meeting? Since the HCAWG is a subsidiary of the Planning board, I’m asking the chair of the planning board to confirm that there are no upcoming meetings other than the presentation to the planning board on Tuesday. I have asked the HCAWG directly for this information and for missing minutes and have not gotten a response. We would like to know before a meeting happens- not after. I’m just requesting that you find out if they are meeting or not, and if they are can you please have someone add the agenda to the town website. Thank you!
