Minutes of 6/25/08
Plaue moved to approve the minutes of June 25, 2008, and Gray seconded. The motion carried 7-0.
Town Needs Assessment
This is a legal requirement that needs to be done every year. Jan Plaue suggested that this year the Board send out the 2006 Needs list to the committees who had submitted the lists for updating. Gray said it was important to reach out to the community and did not favor dismissing a public hearing. Dolan suggested that the Needs presentation could be a part of a public meeting at the Forum. The committees will be asked for modifications and any new needs. Hall suggested a Forum meeting be devoted solely to the updated Community Needs report. Dolan suggested including progress reports from each project as a part of a CPC Forum presentation.
Organization
Plaue moved that Hall continue as chairman. Seeler seconded, and the motion carried 6-0-1 (Hall abstaining)
Gray moved that Judy Taylor remain as Vice-Chair. Plaue seconded, and the motion carried unanimously 7-0.
Currier Property
Hall reported that the Currier property sale was in abeyance. The Conservation Trust will be asked to send a request to withdraw its application without prejudice. Gray discussed other properties that could be acquired for Open Space or Housing projects.
Policies & Procedures
The Policies and Procedures list was reviewed and corrected. Gray said that the Local Comprehensive Plan outlined concerns in common with the Historic, Open Space, Recreation and Housing. Hall suggested that applications go out for review to all committees. The Committee considered what other possible policies and procedures could be included. Some of the present procedures were revised. The CPC Coordinator will prepare a draft Policies & Procedures Manual for consideration at the next meeting.
Status Report
Mary Rogers and Judy Taylor gave updates on the projects that are going forward after having received approvals at Town Meetings.
