<br />COMMUNITY PRESERVATION COMMITTEE <br /> <br />10 December 2007 <br /> <br /> <br />Present: Betsey Weiss, Chair; Joel Adler, Norm Cohen, Marilyn Fenollosa, <br />Wendy Manz, Leo McSweeney, Richard Pagett, Sandra Shaw, Richard Wolk. <br />David Kanter, CEC Liaison, was also present. <br /> <br /> <br />The meeting began at 4 PM and went immediately into discussion of the nine <br />proposals presented at the Public Hearing on 6 December, with the intent to vote <br />our recommendations for Town Meeting. <br /> <br />1. HOMEBUYER ASSISTANCE PROGRAM: Betsey Weiss informed the <br />committee that new information had been received from the Housing <br />Partnership. It was agreed to postpone discussion and a vote until next <br />week and to review the new material in the meantime. <br /> <br />2. BELFRY HILL TREE RESTORATION: The Committee voted <br />unanimously to support the Tree Committee’s request for $9,850, subject <br />to Town Counsel’s opinion on its eligibility for CPA funding. <br /> <br />3. HANCOCK-CLARKE RESTORATION: It was the unanimous sense of <br />the Committee that it would like to support the Historical Society’s <br />request for $600,000. However, there was also concern that the <br />disappointing news about two of the grant requests meant that, with CPA <br />monies, there would only be $850,000 of guaranteed funding for the <br />$1.3M project. It was decided to ask the Society’s executive director to <br />prepare an analysis of what could be accomplished if $850K were all the <br />money in hand this year and to come to our meeting on 17 December to <br />discuss this. Once we have that information we can vote on whether or <br />not to recommend this project. <br /> <br />4. OLD RESERVOIR MANAGEMENT: The Committee voted unanimously <br />to support the Recreation Department’s request for $55,000. <br /> <br />5. VYNEBROOK VILLAGE WINDOWS: The Committee voted <br />unanimously to support the Housing Authority’s request for $158,686. <br /> <br />6. ARCHIVE RECORD MANAGEMENT & CONSERVATION: The <br />Committee voted unanimously to support the revised request from the <br />Town Clerk for $150,000. <br /> <br />7. PARKER MANOR CONDO PURCHASES: Subject to Town Counsel’s <br />opinion on its eligibility for CPA funding, the Committee noted its <br /> <br />
