Minutes
Ed Simpson moved to approve the minutes of September 21, 2016. Rhonda Fowler seconded, and the motion carried 7-0.
Charter Review Request
The Charter Review Committee had requested CPC’s opinion about a change in allowances for committee and board quorums. Committee members discussed how this would be helpful to make the change.
Peter Hall moved that quorums be based on actual numbers appointed and serving a committee, rather than full numbers authorized. Andrew Freeman seconded, and the motion carried 8-0.
Needs & Local Comprehensive Plan Matrix
CPC discussed the matrix of CPC involvement for the new Local Comprehensive Plan. Gary Sorkin and Elaine McIlroy said the current Buy-Down program deadline is December 7, 2016. Committee members also discussed Recreation plans at Mayo Beach. Mary Rogers will submit the matrix along with the needs lists for Open Space, Historic Preservation and Housing. She will also add the Recreation needs list. Elaine McIlroy and Mary Rogers will also check on the main section of the Local Comprehensive Plan.
Deadline for Applications
Project applications are due by November 15, 2016 at 4 p.m. in Town Hall. Elaine McIlroy said the Housing Authority would be likely to request a transfer of money to the Wellfleet Housing Trust Fund. This is an additional anticipated project.
Concerns
Peter Hall suggested that he resign as Chair but continue to serve on the Committee, but CPC will continue as is until he actually resigns from the Committee.
Agenda for Next Meeting
The next meeting will be held on November 16, 2016, the day after new applications are submitted. The Committee will examine the applications for the first time.
Adjournment
The meeting was adjourned by consensus at 9:58 a.m.
Respectfully submitted,
