<p>Hi Gisela,<br>
</p>
<p>I forget if you said your board had already adopted rules for hiring consultants - which is required by MGL c. 44 s. 53G. The rules don't vary much from town to town, as far as I have seen. If it's the Planning Board, I believe the board can adopt the
rules at a regular meeting as they are not expressly part of the Subdivision Regulations (which would require a public hearing). <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>If needed, you can find the form I use to notify applicants that they are required to pay a consultant fee along with a copy of our "Rules for Hiring Consultants" in the following Drive:<br>

<div>The town has to go out for bid to hire the consultant(s) - correct ? Can any one provide a link to the rules for that?
