public hearing being scheduled for Jun 3rd at Planning Board meeting
would allow Town Council to seek requests for proposals

difference between lease and ownership options, if land is still owned by Franklin, they would maintain control over the details
also discourages private competition

big questions but current zoning limits this opportunity to only this spot
there is a boat load of information to be had during the public hearing

if this goes forward, there would be an RFP for companies to put forward a proposal
the amount of revenue would be dependent upon the amount of electricity generated to the grid

all collective bargaining agreements have gotten 2%

Pfeffer
for the 1st time, giving a raise of 4.6 and 5.3 percent and the others have not gotten this, I will not support this

Roy
if you do not offer a competitive salary, the move to making them more so is laudable, we do that for others. I would urge the Councilors to support this

Bissanti
I see the level of complexity we have vs some of the bedroom communities, the increases are justified based upon the work we do vs other communities
