Executive Session
At 8:03 A.M., Mr. Lamb declared that an executive session of this Committee was warranted
under the Open Meeting Law Exemption 6 —to consider the purchase, exchange, lease or
value of real property —as the discussion in an open meeting may have a detrimental effect
on the negotiating position of the Town. A Motion was made and seconded to go into
executive session, with the other attendees being present, with the intention to reconvene
in an open session. Each member was individually polled and each voted "yes ".
At 9:18 A.M., the Committee reconvened in open session after a Motion had been made and
seconded in the executive session to reconvene in open session. Each member had been
individually polled and each voted "yes ". (The other attendees then left the meeting.)
Committee Liaison to the Ad Hoc Cary Memorial Building Program Committee
The Committee discussed the request that had been received from the Board of Selectmen
to nominate a liaison to that committee. As Mr. Hurley had previously volunteered to be the
liaison, the Committee endorsed having him be so nominated. Mr. Lamb will confirm with
Mr. Hurley that he still sees himself being able to fulfill that role and, if so, will submit
Mr. Hurley's name to the Board of Selectmen.
Committee Inputs to the Board of Selectmen for its Annual Goal Setting
As background, the Committee reviewed the input it had made last year. There was then a
discussion as to which topics should be submitted this year.

as he saw fit to build and submit the Committee's input by e -mail to Ms. Vine, with "cc" to
the other Committee members, by the June 15, 2012, deadline. Vote: 4 -0
