At the August 14, 2023 Board of Selectmen meeting First Selectman Jeff Maguire, presiding, took up the elementary school's upper parking lot. He reported meeting with the school board chair and the finance board chair, and set out the terms: the project would use the new town-held fund that the town administrator and the Board of Finance had established for the school's capital projects, and his one condition was that the work be performed to specifications laid out by the director of public works and the town engineer (~10:15). He said he had no objection to the project itself: if it is done in accordance with the engineer and public works, "I have no problem with the project moving forward," though he added it might not be the most useful project to do at the school (~11:41). The town administrator then set out the technical conditions at length: basin tops, reclamation depth, tack coating, indemnification, performance bonding, compaction and thickness testing, and public-works backfill.
