Call to order: Ms. Fenollosa called the meeting to order at 5:04 pm, followed by r eading the guidelines for a public meeting and for a meeting via Zoom. 2. Vote to Reconsider Article 10(e) (Center Playground Bathrooms and Maintenance Building Renovation) and (f) (Playground Improvements – Hard Court Surfaces): A vote by the CPC to reconsider Article 10(e) and (f) was not put forth and voted on, after a ruling Town Counsel Mina Makarious made at a meeting today attended by Town Meeting Moderator Deborah Brown, CPC Chair Fenollosa, and Mr. Makarious. Ms. Fenollosa provided a summary of the procedures he outlined. Her summary had Mr. Makarious’s approval: • If there is a motion by Town Meeting to reconsider, the CPC will remain silent on the matter. • If reconsideration passes and the article is reopened: - If asked, we will reaffirm our original recommendation to Town Meeting that the projects be approved as stated in our Report and the original moti on. - If any Town Meeting member tries to amend the article, the Moderator will only permit a reduction in amount, not scope, as per CPA requirement s. If someone does recommend such a reduction, we will ask for the approval of the Recreation Committee, i.e., the applicant of the project, to see if they wish this to happen. - If the Recreation Committee tells us no, i.e., they do not wish to reduce the amount, we will do nothing, since we have nothing new to approve. - If the Recreation Committee tell us yes, giving us a new application, we will request a recess to enable us (the CPC) to caucus and vote on the new application. We will then report back to Town Meeting on our position regarding the revised application/amount.
