by the second week of April and POAH is working on the closing documents so that Phase II of
the project can begin. Mr. Hooper asked for Mr. Volpicelli's perspective as an abutter. Mr.
Volpicelli discussed the excessive vibration and noise that the compactor omitted during the
compacting process. A discussion ensued. Ms. Kalinick expressed your appreciation to Mr.
Volpicelli for his assistance with the project thus far. Mrs. Campos stated she reached out to
attorney Shirin Everett of KP Law for her to review the ground lease. Attorney Everett provides
legal services with the town and was going to speak with the town administrator to ensure there
wouldn't be a conflict of interest prior to agreeing to review the ground lease. Mrs. Campos has
not heard back from Attorney Everett yet and will contact her in the morning to discuss the
matter. Mrs. Campos also contacted Paul McPartland at DHCD because POAH asked for written
documentation from DHCD authorizing the ground lease. She is waiting to hear back from him.
