Davis Thayer Reuse Advisory Subcommittee met to approve meeting minutes with 6-0-3 vote via roll call (audio)

FM #1245 = This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 1245 in the series. 

This session shares the audio for the Davis Thayer Reuse Advisory Subcmte meeting held on Wednesday, July 17, 2024. The meeting was conducted in a hybrid manner from the Council Chambers. 

2 members were in the Chambers, 3 remote via Zoom, and 1 via phone call  (speaker phone) for a total of 6 of the 9 members participating and hence a quorum. 

The purpose of the meeting was for the Committee to review and approve their prior meeting minutes which had been delayed in being prepared. Each set of minutes were raised for approval, seconded, and passed by the same 6 (yes) - 0 (no) - 3 (absent) vote via roll call. The 2 minutes for June 2024 were approved as amended to correct some name spellings for the Dean College participants.

The meeting adjourned when the approvals were complete. The recording runs about 18 minutes, so let’s listen in. Audio link -> https://franklin-ma-matters.captivate.fm/episode/fm-1245-davis-thayer-reuse-subcmte-mtg-07-17-24/

Davis Thayer Reuse Cmte wants to keep the building, lease the land, and do something for arts & culture (audio)

FM #1240 = This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 1240 in the series. 


This session shares the audio for the Davis Thayer Reuse Advisory Subcmte meeting held on Tuesday, June 25, 2024. The meeting was conducted in the Council Chambers. 


The second meeting of the month, and last of the time period per the Committee Charge. This session was a more ‘formal’ review of the Expression of Interests in the building/property. Four were scheduled to present this night. Two joined together to collaborate on a single proposal.  


After hearing the brief presentations from the three proposals, the committee reviewed and revised the draft report to the Council with their recommendation. The recommendations were high level (keep building, lease land, etc.) and not picking or recommending a specific proposal. 


The report will be presented to the Town Council in a future meeting for the next steps (Council likely to authorize a formal Request for Proposal (RFP)) to get into the real selection process. Cost remains a driving factor, hence what can one of the proposals do with their financing and little (if any) assistance from the Town.

 

The recording runs about almost 2 hours, so let’s listen in. Audio link -> https://franklin-ma-matters.captivate.fm/episode/fm-1240-davis-thayer-reuse-subcmte-mtg-06-25-24

Davis Thayer Building Reuse Advisory Committee seems to reach consensus on land lease, keeping building (audio)

FM #1235 = This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 1235 in the series.

They had not met this year awaiting the receipt of Expression of Interests in the building/property. Five were confirmed received by the due date, May 31.
