Ms. Hai, Chair; Mr. Lucente; Vice Chair, Mr. Pato, Ms. Barry, and Mr. Sandeen were present, as well as Mr. Malloy, Town Manager; and Ms. Axtell, Deputy Town Manager. Ms. Hai stated that the meeting was being conducted via Zoom as posted, with the agenda on the Town’s website. ITEMS FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION 1. Discuss Submission of Affordable Housing Trust Application to Community Preservation Committee (CPC) Ms. Hai explained that Special Town Meeting 2022-3 voted to create an Affordable Housing Trust as a repository for affordable housing funds. On behalf of the future Trust, the Affordable Housing Trust Study Committee would like to apply for Community Preservation Act (CPA) funds to seed the Trust when its existence is formalized. As the Affordable Housing Trust Study Committee Study is an ad hoc body created by the Select Board, Town Counsel’s opinion is that the submission should come from the Select Board. She explained that the Board will be voting on the decision to submit the application. The Community Preservation Committee (CPC), in turn, will discuss and vote on any recommended appropriation. Anything the CPC recommends must then be discussed and voted on at the Annual Town Meeting for FY2024. The deadline to apply for consideration of CPA funding 2023 is now. VOTE: Upon a motion duly made and seconded, by roll call, the Select Board voted 5-0 to approve and sign the application to the Community Preservation Committee for funding of the Affordable Housing Trust in FY2024, largely as presented.
