As the Committee members present 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 in legislation signed on June 16th of this year by Massachusetts Governor Charles D. Baker). 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. Further, this meeting would be recorded to assist in preparing Minutes, and the recording would be deleted once the Minutes are approved. Mr. Lamb took a roll-call attendance, determining that five members were present. Committee's Report to the 2022 ATM and accompanying STMs 2022-1 & Anticipated -2 Using the Near-Pending Report to the 2022 ATM& the STMs 2022-1 & Anticipated 2022-2, which includes the 5-Year Capital Plan and Appendices, Mr. Kanter reviewed and clarified edits that still need to be made, and it was determined how to best present some of the material in the report. Ms. Kosnoff reported that ATM Article 8: Appropriate for Comprehensive Plan Implementation is going to be Indefinitely Postponed, and an article requesting funds to complete the comprehensive plan is planned for the STM 2022-2. It was noted that this Committee is not commenting on either because neither is a Capital project. While reviewing text for ATM Article 10: FY2023 Community Preservation Committee Budget/Projects: (e) Center Playground Bathrooms and Maintenance Building Renovation, concern was expressed about the fluctuations in the estimates for the project—an early $400,000 estimate was increased to $915,000, and now has been reduced to $680,000. Ms. Beebee explained that the original $400,000 estimate was increased to $915,000 to Page 1 of 2
