Community Preservation Committee <br />2006 Town Meeting Report <br />The Community Preservation Committee (CPC) was provisionally appointed in February, <br />2006 and confirmed in March, 2006. The members and their affiliations, as provided in <br />the statute, are as follows: <br />Richard Wolk — Conservation Commission <br />Marilyn Fenollosa — Historical Commission <br />Leo McSweeney — Housing Authority <br />Betsey Weiss — Housing Partnership <br />Wendy Manz Planning Board <br />Sandra Shaw — Recreation Committee <br />Joel Adler — at large, appointed by the Board of Selectmen <br />Norm Cohen — at large, appointed by the Board of Selectmen <br />Richard Pagett — at large, appointed by the Board of Selectmen <br />Betsey Weiss has been appointed as Chair of the CPC, and Marilyn Fenollosa as its <br />Secretary. <br />Since the March 6 th election, there have been two regular CPC meetings, held on March <br />13th and 23 and a public hearing held on March 30 Because the CPC had a very <br />limited amount of time to consider projects during the period between enactment and <br />Town Meeting, there was not sufficient time to establish a formal application and review <br />process for the spring 2006 Town meeting. <br />Therefore, the CPC was only able to vote on and recommend to Town Meeting three <br />proposed Municipal Capital Projects already included in Article 28 of the 2006 Warrant <br />which are eligible for CPA funding. These are the installation of environmental controls <br />for the Cary Hall vault, police dispatch room renovations and fire station renovations. <br />The Cary Hall Vault Environmental Controls project is described in Warrant Article 28 <br />item (i) ($60,000). The vault, which is 800 square feet, is too hot and too dry, and not the <br />proper environment to maintain town records. The vault contains police and fire logs <br />(historical, for research purposes); old town reports; personal records (marriage and birth <br />certificates); and other documents and information that are now in smaller vaults and in <br />different departments and locations. These improvements will therefore centralize <br />storage. Also, the Town has made a request to the National Endowment for the <br />Humanities for a grant for shelving, which will give us 1-1/2 times more shelving space. <br />A CPA grant would serve as matching funds. The Massachusetts Legislature recently <br />added "documents" to the list of historic resources that may be preserved using CPA <br />funds, making this project eligible. <br />The second CPC project being brought before Town Meeting is the Police Station <br />Dispatch Room renovation for $100,000, described in Warrant Article 28(g). The request <br />
