The November 1, 2021 minutes have not yet been <br />submitted by Megan and she was not present this meeting. However ahead of the meeting <br />Megan had shared some content for the minutes. The Council members present then added <br />to the content and the minutes were drafted during the meeting for November 1, 2021. <br />Sherllla motioned to approve the minutes, pending any final edits by Megan, Kathy <br />seconded, and there were three votes of yes by Kathy, Shenlla and Brian and two members <br />abstained: Kerrl Perry and Steve Theodoridis as they were not present at the November 1, <br />2021 meeting. Kern will send the approved minutes (pending any future edits by Megan) to <br />Megan with the action for her to do any final edits and then send to Town Hall the final <br />minutes. <br />The Treasurer's report was presented. The Town funding has been fully utilized. <br />Massachusetts Funds for 2021 have some carry over. It was noted that it was unclear if the <br />Massachusetts Cultural Council has sent the 2022 funding to us as it is subject to a signed <br />contract by the Town of Reading Finance Department. Kathy will be checking the status of <br />that. Brian stated that he heard that eight thousand dollars will go to Town Meeting to <br />approve as part of the budget. It was discussed If fundraising was possible, and it was <br />shared that in the past the council was told it was possible to have an event to fundraise. It <br />was also discussed that we likely don't need to fundraise right now. Shenlla motioned to <br />approve the Treasurer's report, Keri seconded. Vote was unanimous to accept the <br />Treasurer's report. <br />Page 1 1 <br />
