From the meeting
At the Oct. 21, 2026 TRAC meeting, members discussed future directions for cameras, an expanded Food Waste program, and the future of stickers and forms. Barbara Bettigole said the DEEP grant was dependent on pairing PAYT with food waste diversion, and Brian Bartram said cameras would only make sense if the town moved to a PAYT system.
The committee tabled more grant-use discussion until the grant is received.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Town of Sharon's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
