The Members of the McLean Implementation Committee (MIC) are Bob Gallant (chair), Joe Hibbard, Walter McLaughlin, Joel Mooney, John Murphy and Brendan Noonan. The members of the Committee are appointed by the Selectmen for an indefinite term. The Committee's first meeting was held on August 3, 1999.
The McLean Implementation Committee is an advisory committee that answers to the Board of Selectmen. Its primary mission is to protect the Town’s interests, to facilitate the Town’s responsibilities and to coordinate the multiple components of the McLean property development process.
To fulfill its mission the committee will:
· Promote communication among Town citizenry, Town bodies, and the Board of Selectmen regarding all components of the project;
· Identify, in advance, issues that require attention and coordination of multiple Town bodies;
· Make recommendations to the Board of Selectmen regarding resources to adequately protect the Town’s interest throughout the process;
· Assist Town bodies in fulfilling their responsibilities related to the McLean property development as determined to be appropriate by the Selectmen, particularly involving issues of coordination with other Town bodies; and
· Execute tasks identified by the Selectmen relevant to the McLean property development that are not clearly the responsibility of other Town bodies.
Since the last meeting of the Planning Board leading to Site Plan Approvals in 2001, there has been reduced need for the MIC to meet. It is anticipated that Committee meetings will resume at the time of application for building permits by the McLean developers and the subsequent construction activity.
During calendar year 2003, individual members of the MIC attended meetings of the Land Management Committee to provide views on screening and buffering of Zone 1A, soil testing at the North Meadow site, the communications tower in the Cemetery Subdistrict and discussions on the trail system and the fire roads. Members of the MIC also attended the waterline installation series of morning coordination meetings in April and May.
Respectfully submitted,
Robert M. Gallant, Chairman
