Meeting Called to order @ 7:08 PM
Minutes from previous meeting approved (Susan moved, Paul Second, unanimously accepted)
Paul presented an update from the selectmen meeting he attended after our previous meeting. The
update included details about the Affordable Housing Trust and the plans for them to convene. In
addition the selectmen approved moving$5,000 to the Trust as initial funding.
Rob updated the committee that Jack Creighton had resigned as he was elected to the Board of
Selectmen and is not allowed to serve on any committees.
The committee discussed the charter and voted to recommend changes. First we will recommend
reducing the committee from a Maximum of 9/Minimum of 7 to Maximum 7/Minimum 5. The reason
was based on the difficulty in regularly obtaining a quorum. The committee also felt with the recent
creation of the Affordable Housing Trust,there was a limited number of people interested in serving on
one of the Affordable Housing groups and replacing departing members. Second we are suggesting we
move to updating the selectmen on a bi-annual basis. Paul moved to make these recommendations to
Board of Selectmen, Susan seconded and it was agreed upon unanimously.
Rob announced we are due for our officer elections at the next meeting.
Meeting adjourned at 8:10 PM
