As the Committee members and the others joining this meeting had been previously advised of the special conditions of this meeting, he passed on repeating them (i.e., the authority to not require a physical presence of a quorum and other selected terms under the Open Meeting Law had, by legislation Governor Charles D. Baker signed on July 16, 2022, their expiration extended to March 31, 2023.) Mr. Lamb advised that materials provided electronically to the Committee or presented at the meeting, would be available upon request and are those listed in the Minutes as Documents Presented. Any votes during this meeting would be taken by a roll call. Further, this meeting would be recorded to assist in preparing Minutes, and the recording would be deleted once the Minutes are approved. By individual conversations to them, Mr. Lamb accomplished a roll-call attendance and determined that five members are present. Review of the FY2024–FY2028 Capital Improvement Projects/Programs (CIPs) Submitted by the Recreation Department and Conservation Department This Committee had provided a document to each department with its comments and questions on each CIP in advance of today and each had appended its answers to them in a document returned to this Committee before today. Therefore, Mr. Cole led a discussion that only attended to any follow up questions the Committee members still had. After the answer to each of those follow-up Committee-member questions, the Committee would indicate being satisfied with the CIP, or asked for a follow-up response then or with resolution after the meeting, and, if applicable, also recommended the CIP be enhanced with additional text to clarify the questioned current matter. Adjourn A Motion was Moved and Seconded at 9:03 A.M. to adjourn. Roll-Call Vote: 6–0 This Minutes was approved by the CEC at its meeting on January 12, 2023.
