• The acquisition, creation,preservation and rehabilitation and/or restoration of <br /> land for recreational use; and <br /> • The rehabilitation and restoration of open space and community housing that has <br /> been acquired with CPA funds. <br /> Preference will be given to proposals which meet as many of the following general <br /> criteria as possible, specifically those which: <br /> • Are consistent with current planning documents adopted by the Town; <br /> • Preserve the essential character of the Town as described in the Comprehensive <br /> Plan; <br /> • Save resources that would otherwise be threatened; <br /> • Benefit a currently under-served population; <br /> • Serve more than one CPA purpose (for example, in linking open space, <br /> recreation and community housing, or the reuse of historic resources for <br /> community housing) or demonstrate why serving multiple needs is not feasible; <br /> • Demonstrate practicality and feasibility, and demonstrate that they can be <br /> implemented expeditiously and within budget; <br /> • Produce an advantageous cost/benefit value; <br /> • Leverage additional public and/or private funds; <br /> • Preserve or use currently owned Town assets; <br /> • Receive endorsement by other municipal boards, committees or departments; and <br /> • Provide long-term contribution and/or enhancement to the Town. <br /> Process <br /> The Town Manager, Town boards, committees and departments, civic organizations and <br /> residents may bring proposals for funding to the CPC. Such proposals must be submitted by <br /> November 1 each year using the application form prescribed by the CPC, in order to be <br /> considered for funding at the next Annual Town Meeting. (See "Further Information" below.) <br /> Except in exigent circumstances, the CPC does not review and submit proposals to Fall Special <br /> Town Meetings. In cases where proposals are contingent upon Town budget processes, or upon <br /> receipt of professional estimates, appraisals and the like, and cannot be completed by November <br /> 1, initial proposals must be submitted by November 1, and completed proposals must be <br /> submitted no later than January 15 of the following year. Proposals submitted after January 15 <br /> will not be reviewed and submitted by the CPC to the Annual Town Meeting, but may, after <br /> review and with the agreement of the applicant, be submitted to a 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. Town Meeting may choose to deny or reduce funding for a project recommended by the <br /> CPC, but it may not increase a recommended appropriation. Town Meeting also may not <br /> appropriate CPA funds for any project that is not recommended by the CPC. <br /> 6 <br />
