November 1, in the form prescribed by the CPC, in order to be considered for funding at the next <br />Annual Town Meeting. Except in exigent circumstances, the CPC does not review and submit <br />proposals to Fall Special Town Meetings. In cases where proposals are contingent upon Town <br />budget processes, or upon receipt of professional estimates, appraisals and the like, and cannot <br />be completed by November 1, initial proposals must be submitted by November 1, and <br />completed proposals must be submitted no later than January 15 of the following year. Proposals <br />submitted after January 15 will not be reviewed and submitted by the CPC to the Annual Town <br />Meeting, but may, after review and with the agreement of the applicant, be submitted to a <br />subsequent Town Meeting. <br />Under the CPA statute, the CPC does not have the power to appropriate funds for particular <br />projects, only to make recommendations to Town Meeting. While the power to appropriate CPA <br />funds is reserved solely for Town Meeting, it may act only upon the recommendations of the <br />CPC. It may choose to deny or reduce funding for a project recommended by the CPC, but it <br />may not increase a recommended appropriation. Town Meeting also may not appropriate CPA <br />funds for any project that is not recommended by the CPC. <br />The CPC seeks a Town -wide and long -term perspective. The Committee expects to recommend <br />projects that will have a significant long -term benefit to the Town. It may choose to recommend <br />to Town Meeting that some or all of CPA funds be "banked" or reserved for significant projects <br />and opportunities in the future. It may also recommend bonding of significant acquisitions and <br />projects in order to benefit the public good. The CPC strives to provide Town Meeting with a <br />strong and consistent rationale for its recommendations and to create an effective joint process <br />through which departments, organizations and citizens may gain access to CPA funds for <br />projects that will enhance the Town. <br />6 <br />
