Margaret can you please confirm if the HCAWG is meeting on their own or not. I tried to request it privately and have emailed both Paula and Jennifer Curtain and not received a response.
It’s very odd that no meeting in between the last presentation and the upcoming presentation has happened.
Utile should be giving the proposals to them and they should meet to review them before presenting to the planning board. Otherwise wouldn’t it be a Utile presentation to the planning board?
How can they present two additional options to the planning board if they haven’t met to create or discuss these options- they didn’t even have (a public) meeting after the Oct 16 presentation to come up with guidance to give Utile for what is being requested.
Furthermore, in a direct violation of MA’s open meeting law, one meeting’s minutes have been made available online since the entire HCAWG’s conception. Minutes are missing from the December 5, 2022, February 7, 2023, March 16, 2023, August 22, 2023, and October 16, 2023 meetings. Other than the October 16 meeting- every one of these should have been made available by now.
Why the secrecy?
