O' Reilly went over several development scenarios for the parcels and will send his final report on Tuesday, May 25tH Mark Robinson will take that information and have his report by Wednesday, June 2 "d . In speaking with Hal Minis of the BCT, it appears that BCT will not be putting a bid in for the Long Pond parcel but are still willing to work with the Town in terms of a financial contribution on the parcel . There will also be a conversation with MA Audubon . Mr . Lombardi also spoke with Paul Anderson regarding the Water Commissioners also contributing to the purchase of the Long Pond parcel . Mr . Lombardi spoke with Jim Fleet briefly and they have a call scheduled for Tuesday, May 25th in the morning . Mr . Lombardi has a list of questions that he will asking Mr .

A good portion of this document can be used as a press release when the Board is able to go public with this process . Unfortunately, the timeline of the sale and the process of the sale of these properties is still secondhand knowledge . There has been no direct communication from the management company on how or when these properties are going to be sold . There is also the possibility that, if there are bids due on June 15th, they could all be rejected by the seller and the properties could remain on the market for quite some time . Mr . Lombardi stated that regardless of how the seller structures the sale of the properties, the Town should submit two bids, as that is how they will be presented to Town meeting . There was also a discussion on the NDA . The Board feels that if the Town ' s bids will be accepted and considered without signing the NDA, the Town should not sign the NDA.
