As the Committee members and the others joining this meeting had been previously advised of the special conditions of this meeting, he passed on repeating them (i.e., the authority to not require a physical presence of a quorum and other selected terms under the Open Meeting Law had, by legislation Governor Charles D. Baker signed on July 16, 2022, their expiration extended to March 31, 2023.) Mr. Lamb advised that materials provided electronically to the Committee or presented at the meeting, would be available upon request and are those listed in the Minutes as Documents Presented. Any votes during this meeting would be taken by a roll call. By individual conversations to them, Mr. Lamb had accomplished a roll-call attendance and determined that five members are present. (Mr. Boudett reported at his soon-later presence so all six members were then present.) Discussion of Cary Memorial Library's Future Capital Plans. Mr. Lamb explained that although this subject had been addressed at the previous evening during the posted special meeting during the Select Board meeting, he, Mr. Parker, Ms. Barry, and Ms. Stembridge had previously discussions of the two projects needed at the Library (i.e., the Children’s Room with renewing its Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) with other ancillary elements, and the overall more-extensive HVAC renewal). Now there also was incremental funding under the Community Preservation Act (CPA) and/or by private funding under the direction of the Board of Library Trustees (BLT). He, therefore, wanted to further the discussion at this meeting with Ms. Fenollosa present as her committee dealt with proposed use under the CPA.
