Announcements and Liaison Reports
Ms. Kosnoff alerted the Committee to a problem with the project to put a solar array on the roof of
the new police station and on canopies over parking areas close to the station, i.e., the bids for the
work had come in over budget. A joint meeting of this Committee together with the Select Board
and Capital Expenditures Committee is desired to consider options for proceeding with the develop-
ment of the solar array. One possible time for the meeting would be just before the Wednesday,
April 10, session of the annual town meeting.
Warrant Articles for Annual Town Meeting
The Committee reviewed Mr. Parker’s script for his remarks to the town meeting on Article 33.
Several minor edits were suggested and put into the script.
Approve Minutes of Prior Meetings
Mr. Levine stated that drafts of minutes for the Committee’s meetings on March 11 and March 20
had been circulated and could be approved. Mr. Bartenstein read a sentence that he thought should
be added to the March 11 minutes. There was a motion and a second to approve the minutes from
the two meetings with the March 11 minutes including the sentence from Mr. Bartenstein. The mo-
tion was approved by a vote of 6-0.
