From the meeting
Richland Township and Ross Township discussed forming a joint exploratory group to examine shared parks management, cemetery labor, and possibly facilities maintenance. The concept would share a Parks Director and could support grant and capital planning work, but no agreement was proposed yet. This is an early signal for staffing, operating model, and interlocal-service support.
The boards were only asked to discuss interest and appoint members for further study.

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