01/05/2023 AC Minutes 3 There was discussion of whether there are financial reasons for the AC to research and report on the article to change the Zoning Bylaw to include multifamily housing in accordance with the state legislation relevant to MBTA Communities. Most likely the article will not request any appropriation or transfer of funds. However, it has major implications for the Town and thereby for Town finances. A good financial analysis of this topic will not be simple and straightforward to prepare. Mr. Parker encouraged the other AC members to volunteer to work on the articles that interest them, and to help fill out the report assignment spreadsheet. Meeting Schedule Mr. Parker discussed the schedule of upcoming meetings, and asked whether the AC should meet on Wednesday, January 18, even though there is a budget summit meeting scheduled for Thursday, January 19. The question of a January 18 meeting will be revisited at the January 11 AC meeting. Mr. Parker has arranged for Select Board representatives to join us at our January 26 meeting to discuss the use of ARPA funds. Mr. Michelson criticized school and municipal officials on the basis of his perception of a lack of communication between them in the budget process leading up to Budget Summit III. He would like to see the issues resolved before the upcoming January 19 Budget Summit IV. Minutes of Prior Meetings Mr. Parker said that he has a draft of the minutes from the December Budget Summit III meeting. He is willing to share them and requested that any comments be sent to him by the next day. A motion was made and seconded to approve the minutes of November 1, 2022. The motion passed on a roll call vote. VOTE: 6-0. Adjourn The meeting was adjourned by roll call vote at 8:48 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Alan Levine Approved: January 11, 2023 Exhibits ● Agenda, posted by Mr. Parker ● Retirement COLA Presentation 1/5/2023 ● 2023 ATM AC Report Planner - assignments
