A set of questions/clarifications were offered to Jack by the group, in light of his 8-30-05 presentation to
the Downtown Steering Committee. Jack conducted a dry-run of his presentation, which also included a
short recap of what the CPA provides, when it was put to the Town ballot and the percentage of tax levy

all-round presentation.
