Public Comments

No members of the general public were present.

Community Event Planning

The Committee discussed the 3 meeting, $11,500 proposal submitted by Sky Freyss-Cole. Jan Morrissey reported on the Planning Board’s 9.7.16 vote to refuse ATA Carlson’s request for partial funding for the workshops, and the Board’s concerns about proposed workshop costs. Morrissey also referenced her memo to the LCPC dated 8/8/16 regarding workshop cost concerns. The committee discussed the general need to convey the purpose and intent of having the community meeting as part of the Local Comp Plan update process.  Brian and Suzanne agreed that having a third party facilitator is the best approach.  The Committee supported the decision to have one community wide meeting and that it was important to have a good turnout.  Some members of the committee gave the opinion that the requested fee was too high.  The funding source for this project has been identified and approved by the TA.  It is in the Town Administrator consultancy line item which has been appropriated for the current fiscal year.  There was discussion of offering a combo beach and transfer station sticker as a raffle item at the event as well as offering food.

Jan Morrissey made the motion and Suzanne Thomas seconded to recommend the amount of $2,500 be offered to Ms. Freyss-Cole for her services and that an additional $500 be allocated toward supplies for the event.  The motion carried 7-0-0.

Jan Morrissey made the motion and Janet Lesniak seconded that the date of the community wide meeting be set for November 12th from 10:00am to 1:00pm at the Council on Aging Building.  The motion carried 7-0-0.
