Topics of Discussion:
The meeting called to order at 7 p.m.
The committee created their meeting schedule for the year.
The committee then discussed the list of town owned properties.
Mr. Coote felt as though the committee shouldn't recommend sites for a building such as
the cemetery garage. He feels instruction should come from the town.
Ms. Twomey agreed that other properties should have been brought forward for additional
choices.
The instructional motion was open ended and wasn't clear on looking at other sites other
than the four cemetery sites.
At the time a complete list was not available to the PBC.
The group suggested that CPDC and the Town Planner be involved in choosing other sites.
Mr. Tompkins suggested filtering the list down to a group of sites that may be viable.
Possibly Kim Honetschlager could do this?
The other option is to keep the site at Laurel Hill and have remote containers.
A list of criteria will be compiled and sent to Kim H. to narrow the list down.
Giving the list will stir some feedback from the town as to which sites make the most sense.

They will filter anything 1/2 acre and under and exclude RMLD, Schools, Parks, Boston and
Maine Railroad.
The list will be sent to the Town Manager and he will decide who can narrow the list down.
The committee then went through the town building condition assessments.
A list of all building systems will be sent to facilities to assess:
• Roof
