Topics of Discussion:
The meeting was conducted Via Zoom. The meeting was called to order at 7:05 PM.
Sadly, Member and Treasurer, Katharine Lopez Natale has passed away. Members were
saddened by this news and discussed being very appreciative of her work for the Council
and how accomplished Kathy was in all her life's endeavors as outlined in her obituary. Due
to this there is no treasurers report. Brian Is meeting with Town Hall to learn responsibilities
needed to file the treasurers report. Brian will pursue requesting an extension.
The minutes for December 5, 2022, were reviewed. The minutes were approved 5-0-1.
Sherilla was not present at that meeting so abstained from voting.
The rejected grant applicants (noted In 12-5-2022 meeting minutes) were sent notices of
that, and none have brought forth any appeals within the window allowed. We can grant
$24,413.00 to the remaining grant applicants.
The council discussed and agreed upon how to grant the funds across the applicants
remaining. Christine motioned to accept and Steve seconded, and the grants outlined
below. This was then voted on and approved unanimously 6-0. Kerr! will send the MS Excel
file showing the grants approved to Brian and he will send out the acceptance letters.

Brian shared we will need a new treasurer. It Is required to have three roles: Chair,
Treasurer and Secretary and each needs to be held by a different person. A Vice Chair is not
required. We will need a call for new members with the hope that a new member will want
to be Treasurer. Sherllla will reach out to the Town Manager to include this in his
newsletter and Brian will request with Jackie McCarthy that the Selectboard mention this in
their meeting the following day. Brian will ask the town if they are able to have a town
employee assist until a Treasurer is established. Further discussion on this topic will
continue in a February meeting. Typically there is no meeting in February but due to the
circumstances the members deemed it necessary to hold a meeting this February.
It was discussed and determined that the February 6th meeting will be held by Zoom.
Adjourned at 8:00 p.m.
