November 7, 2005 Master Plan Advisory Committee (MPAQ Meeting
- Date: November 7, 2005
Time: 8:00 pm
Place: Town Hall Conference Room
Attendees: George Katsoufis (GK), Virginia Adams (VA), Susan DeMatteo (SD) John Sasso (JS),
Richard Howard (RH), Janet Allen (JA), Jonathan Barnes (JB)
Agenda & Discussion
(1) Review of Services and Facilities Goals and Objectives
GK and JS presented a draft of the updated Goals and Objectives for this chapter. Initially JS was
concerned whether or not the MP should use a set of goals and objectives consistent with those adopted
by the Town Manager and BOS. However, after further discussion it was agreed that while the
overarching goals make sense to be consistent, the objectives can (and should be) somewhat different to
reflect the broader aspect of the MP and the potentially longer horizon. The committee will review this
document and be prepared with comments at our next meeting. In the meantime, JS and GK will draft
introductory wording for each goal.
(2) Review of Updated Implementation Chapter Format
RH provided an update of the Implementation chapter including a reformat of the priority action strategy
section. The committee provided a few specific comments (such as making sure the action strategy
statements are consistent with the table and stated using action verbs) and discussed a few formatting
recommendations. RH will incorporate the comments and provide to the committee (and Chris Reilly) for
incorporation into the final draft.
(3) Review of Political Landscape section of Conclusion Chapter
This section is still in process. GK will have an update for our next meeting.
(4) Review of all Action Strategies in Implementation Chapter
We were notable to complete this effort. The committee agreed to review these along with assigning
dates at our next meeting.
(5) Dry Run of Town Meeting Presentation
RH presented his section of the presentation to the committee. For the Services and Facilities section we
agreed to change the priority action slide to just list the 6 overall goals and state that we are in the process
of finalizing the priority action strategy(s). Additional minor comments were made but overall the
presentation is in great shape and the committee will be ready to support Town Meeting next Monday.
(6) Determine if we need to present at any other Town Boards (feedback from CR Email?)
CR followed-through on his action to provide all the boards, committees and commissions with copies of
the MP questionnaire, the executive summary, and an offer for someone from the MPAC to meet and
discuss the MP. RH stated that he will personally contact the Finance Committee in an effort to address
an action from the BOS presentation.
