Members of the Committee had a chance to say what position(s) they are interested in. Claire Sheth said she is willing to serve in any capacity. While Ms. Sheth and Carl Fantasia are both interested in the LHS/Center Recreation Complex working group, Mr. Fantasia noted that he is an abutter to the complex. Christian Boutwell expressed interest in the Co-Chair and CPC liaison positions and indicated that he is willing to cede his spot on the financial working group.
