Agenda & Discussion
(1) MP AC Survey Results
CR had provided the committee with a spreadsheet displaying the results from the MPAC Survey.
Approximately 110 responses were obtained. The committee discussed the approach for summarizing the
results and providing a user friendly method for communicating the positive nature in a more pictorial
representation. RH, GK, JS and CR all took actions to work on completing the summary for the
Implementation chapter and attachments to be included in the Appendix of the MP.
(2) Services and Facilities Goal Introductions
JS and GK had provided the committee with drafts of these introductions and we reviewed them at the
meeting. Comments were made and GK took the action to update the introductions as well as provide a
re-write for goal #6.
(3) Implementation Chapter Format and Priority Actions
RH presented the final version of the Implementation chapter and the committee agreed upon the final
format as presented. Of the four remaining priority objectives (from the Services and Facilities Section),
two of the objectives have been translated into action strategies, the remaining two are still due (from Ben
T. and CR). We agreed to separate out the Board of Selectman (BOS) actions from the list and present
them this update at the January 3, 2006 BOS meeting.
(4) Miscellaneous
GK presented a final update to the Conclusion chapter and the committee made some minor suggestions
and edits. In addition the committee received a letter from the Recreation committee supporting the
MPAC efforts and re-enforcing the objectives for more recreational space in the town. We agreed to
include this letter in the MP Appendix. RH also heard from the Finance Committee and is prepared to
meet with them on December 21, 2005.
