5.Needs Assessment Report – Ms. Manz requested that members send their changes to Ms. Rice. All updates are in except for the conservation section and the remainder of the housing sections. Ms. Rice will combine member comments and distribute a new draft for the Committee to edit. 6.Update on CPC Signs for Ongoing Projects – Ms. Shaw updated the Committee on her progress to date on CPA signs. She has been working with a sign company from Burlington, and had two mock ups for the Committee to review. The CPC chose a mock-up with the Town seal elevated above the sign, and asked Ms. Shaw to see if the vendor would do an 18”x 24” prototype for CPC review. The cost of each sign was $175. Members reminded Ms. Shaw that the Town seal should be approved with the Board of Selectmen since its design has changed over the years. 7.Review of Municipal Projects – Ms. Manz noted the receipt of the municipal project list, which included 7 projects for FY 2012 and one submitted on an informational basis that would come before the Committee in FY 2013.

She suggested that since many of the projects involve historic buildings, it might be helpful this year to have the Historic District Commission (HDC) and the Historical Commission “weigh in” on the merits of the historic preservation projects. Ms. Fenollosa pointed out that the Historic Commission (HC) is better positioned to evaluate a building’s historic significance, while the HDC is better at decisions such as determining the type of roof shingles for a particular historic structure. After some discussion it was decided that the list of projects should be sent to Joe Welch, Chair of the HDC and to David Kelland, Chair of the HC for comments. Ms. Manz also suggested that the two historical groups should be invited to attend the applicants’ presentations. 8.Leary Planning Funds – Ms. Manz updated the Committee on the progress of the planning efforts for the Leary land, specifically the affordable housing component.
