Selectmen seek $50K for Havemeyer Building redevelopment consultant
The Greenwich Board of Estimate and Taxation convened on March 24, 2025, to address several key agenda items, beginning with a motion to enter executive session. The board moved into executive session at 6:37 PM, with no objections raised. The session concluded at 6:44 PM, during which the only vote taken was to exit the session, moved by Karen Fastly Otis and seconded by Mr. Selps.

Following the executive session, the board addressed the Assessor's Report. Although the Assessor was on vacation, a written report was provided in the meeting packet. The board unanimously accepted the written report, with a motion by Ms. Tarkenton and a second by Ms. Fasliodas, resulting in a vote of 12-0-0.

The next item on the agenda was a request for budget adjustments. The board reviewed a routine application from the Police Department for $49,323.40, intended for overtime and mechanical supplies funded by a state grant. The motion to approve this budget adjustment was made and seconded, with no objections, leading to another unanimous approval of 12-0-0.

The board then moved on to non-routine applications, specifically SE 8, which involved a request from the Selectmen for an additional appropriation of $50,000 for a Request for Proposal (RFP) consultant. Mark Johnson, a former BET member and current Town Administrator, provided insights into the committee evaluating the redevelopment of the Havemeyer Building. He introduced the committee members, which included current and former BET and Board of Education members.

The meeting concluded with a clear progression through the agenda, highlighting the board's commitment to transparency and fiscal responsibility in managing town resources. Further discussions and decisions are anticipated in upcoming meetings as the board continues to address the town's financial needs and projects.
