The Capital Plan is also being updated and a draft will be presented to the Economic Development and Capital Assets Committee at their upcoming meeting on March 5, 2025. e As we approach the Spring Season, our tree committee is developing a Tree Adoption program to help us regularly water our newer trees. They created a form we will post on the website and advertise the program in the Town Manager report and social media. © The MBTA has reached out and wants to extend the lease for one year per our existing lease agreement. The lease will now expire on 6-30-26 with two optional one-year extensions available to the MBTA which could extend the lease until 2028. e The IFB for the Pauline Street Fire Station Floor Repair is out, and the bid due date has been extended to April 10, 2025. Potential bidders have sent us follow-up questions, and we are waiting for the structural engineer to respond. Proper notifications have been sent out. e MVP FY26 Action Grant Funding Round is now open, due April 4"", 2025. We have reached out to our consultant from last year and our staff members at NSORS and will update last year's submissions to resubmit for consideration this year. e Lastly, Union negotiations continue to move forward. I have an upcoming meeting with the Library Union this week and will continue to work with the other unions.
