Vote to Reconsider Art. 10 (f)-Administrative Budget-The Committee discussed reconsidering the administrative budget vote. Ms. Fenollosa stated that she received correspondence from Mr. Pressman that the 7-1 vote on 12-17-2020 did not accurately reflect his position on the matter. Ms. Fenollosa discussed the history of the FY22 administrative budget and Open Space and Recreation Plan (OSRP) and explained that when the Committee took the straw vote and the final vote both projects were voted on jointly because of their funding source. Mr. Pressman explained that he would like to vote on the administrative budget and the OSRP separately. He noted that the Town's OSRP funding request had been submitted, separately, in the same manner as the other Town funding requests, on each of which the Committee voted separately. Ms. Hornig stated that the Planning Board often reconsiders items to let a Committee member change their vote out of curtesy. Mr. Pressman made a motion to reconsider the administrative vote. The motion failed due to lack of a second. Review Draft of CPC Report to 2021 Annual Town Meeting-The Committee discussed the draft CPC Report to 2021 ATM. Ms. Fenollosa informed the Committee of minor edits. Mr. Pressman stated that the 7-1 administrative budget vote is erroneous and he believes that he was voting against the Open Space and Recreation Plan not the administrative budget. Ms. Fenollosa stated that the vote was for the administrative budget and up to $50,000 of the budget will be used to fund the OSRP as presented and discussed in prior meetings. After a motion duly made and seconded, the CPC Report to 2021 Annual Town Meeting was approved as presented, subject to any non-substantive last minute edits (8-0-1). Mr. Pressman abstained. 1
