Chair’s Report
Clerk Cohen read the Chair’s Report as Mr. Snow was not in attendance. Within the Chair’s Report was a request from Civil Defense to purchase a vehicle. Mr. Cohen expressed that he was not sure if this request fell within the Community Preservation parameters.
Treasurer’s Report
Mr. Bailey provided the Committee with a suggested list of possible Community Preservation Committee projects. Within the discussion, Mr. Garf stated that he was not comfortable with the Committee being both a proponent and decider of a project. Mr. Cohen asked for a status on Camp Gannett and Ms. McGrath said that the Selectmen have taken over the Camp Gannett interest from the Conservation Commission. Ms. McGrath suggested asking the Community Preservation Coalition if a Community Preservation Committee can both initiate and decide on projects. She suggested asking them what is possible to do. Ms. Desberg volunteered to contact the coalition regarding the project question as well as ensuring the amount of roll over of funds that are acceptable to maintain.
Mr. Bailey said for the next meeting he will look at how Community Preservation money is to be allocated for the next ten years.
