30% fewer restaurant seats than in 2019. Dawn McKenna alerted us that this <br />affects our revenue from the meals tax. Casey noted the “incredible new space” <br />at Omar’s. <br />Doug Lucente gave a detailed presentation of how the SB has allocated ARPA <br />funds so far: 25K public health, 50k food insecurity, 100k, temporary health <br />measures, 90k mental health, 315k LexHab acquisitions, 115k Vine Street <br />property. Center Related: 250k small business assistance, 150k cultural and non- <br />profit, business can apply for 25k and cultural and non-profit can apply for 15K. <br />The online application opens early next week. Doug emphasized that this funding <br />is round one and will stay open until funds run out. <br />Charles Hornig gave a presentation (see <br />file:///C:/Users/Owner/Downloads/MBTA_Community_Housing.pdf) regarding <br />the new state law on MBTA communities. The Planning Board is looking at <br />changing the parking requirements, and is also looking at the parking lot on <br />Merriam Street (Depot Lot.)

Some rezoning might be on the warrant for Spring 2022 Town <br />Meeting. <br />Jerry discussed committee membership: Everyone agreed to recommend Eric <br />Ballard to the Select Board for appointment to the Center Committee. We will be <br />losing Mike Boudett to the Capital Expenditures Committee. We will still have <br />two vacancies. <br />Then we discussed goals and workplan for 2022: Pam S. suggested zoning and <br />parking lots – improving the Center’s physical infrastructure; Mike suggested <br />making the Center more family friendly; Dick suggested encouraging tourists to go <br />downtown – tourism is important to the Center. <br />As always we discussed parking: Fred suggested that we keep parking passes free <br />for another year. <br />The Center Committee voted Seven to Zero to recommend to the Select Board <br />to maintain the current status of parking passes (free) for another year.
