Discussion of matters related to the 2018 ATM, this Committee's Report to the
2018 ATM, and the Town's Capital Program execution and planning
Mr. Lamb asked the members for their opinions on the latest draft he had prepared for the
comments to be spoken when this Committee's position is requested by the Moderator on
Article 20(f), Community Center Expansion—Design; a sub-Article on which this Committee
is unanimously opposed to any funding at this ATM.
• The Committee considered some editorial changes for clarity and deletion of some
subsidiary text to make a small reduction in the length of the comments. A Motion
was made and Seconded to approve those comments, but with the Chair having
permission to make changes that do not substantively change the points being made
as he sees fit before or during the speaking of the comments Vote: 5-0
• The Committee then discussed that the proponents might well describe changes in
the scope of work to be performed that would change the purpose of the funding—
and, therefore, how this Committee's comments should be framed. A Motion was
made and Seconded to grant the Chair permission to modify the comments
accordingly—while still defending the Committee's unanimous opposition. Vote: 5-0
