Building committee votes to cut three fall meetings, move to monthly schedule

The Fairfield building committee voted to reduce its meeting frequency and cancel three upcoming dates, moving to a monthly schedule. A member moved to cancel the Oct. 2, Oct. 30 and Dec. 4 meetings; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.

Members discussed how the schedule change will affect invoice processing and asked staff to send an updated calendar so contractors can coordinate submissions. One member noted, "If you submitted an invoice on whatever, the 19th of October, it won't be looked at until November 20th," underscoring the need to align submission dates with the committee's new meeting cadence. The committee directed staff to circulate the calendar in advance so the town and vendors, including Drew Lingard (mentioned), can align payments and approvals.
