Committee Business-The Committee discussed CPA application timing for the 2022 Annual Town Meeting (ATM) and a possible 2021 Fall Special Town Meeting (FSTM). Ms. Fenollosa stated that the deadline to submit proposals for ATM is November 11t and that, if an organization is not fully prepared by November 11t, it has always been Committee practice to work with the project proponent. Ms. Fenollosa explained that the Committee typically only entertains FSTM CPA proposals if the project is time sensitive such as a land acquisition. The Committee agreed to leave the November 1St deadline in place and to entertain FSTM CPA projects on a case by case basis. The Committee also discussed alternative advertising techniques and will work with the Town's Public Information Officer, Sean Duggan, to promote future CPA application opportunities and deadlines.
