Began discussion on the committee's priorities:
Tim's priorities: Reestablishing connections with other committees and liaisons including
Planning Committee, Historic District, and Permanent Building Committee.
Zhu suggested the DAC should be a"gatekeeper"to oversight of designs in town.
Other suggestions are to reestablish ties with the recreation department(new track etc.) and with
the Select Board.
