Greetings, everyone -

Looking to see if anyone recalls/has an email that circulated within this group in the last year or so that contained a table or list identifying what software various towns and cities use for online permitting applications.

Alas, multiple group members in our office have searched our files and cannot put our collective fingers on it. If anyone who has this could forward it to me, Somerville would be very grateful.

Hello,

Are there any cities and/or towns that compensate Planning Board members? The Chair of our Board mentioned that at one time Board members had received a stipend. As you know we all send a lot of time off the clock preparing for meetings. If compensation is provided, would you please provide the amount or range?

Good Morning,

The Harvard Parks & Recreation Commission has identified a parcel of land for the creation of playing fields.  As an all-volunteer commission they are seeking any examples of an RFP for such a study they may use as a launching point in drafting the RFP.  On their behalf I thank you in advance for your assistance.
