Call to Order
Mr. Lamb called this Remote (Virtual) Meeting, which had been posted as such, to order at
8:00 A.M. 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 six members are present.
Review of the FY2024–FY2028 Capital Improvement Projects/Programs (CIPs)
Submitted by the DIT & LPS Technology Program
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. Mr. Lamb led discussions 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.
