Minutes of April 3, 1990
Present were Bill Goodrich, Paul Kelley, Chris Vaccaro, Mollie Ziegler,
')ick Dempster, and Adrienne McMahon.
The meeting was devoted to reviewing the packet we received from and
was prepared by Peg Plansky and Dick Dempster.
While discussing the policy statement,at the beginning of the packet,
the role of the committee was discussed. It was expressed that the
role should be one of advocacy and motivation. Our advocacy would be
for moderate income housing, especially for families as well as for
elderly, handicapped, etc. (Family housing is high on the State's
agenda.)
We would encourage present town initiatives and support the Master Plan.
Mollie is going to try to get a copy of the Master Plan's draft about
housing.
The policy statement was amended.. See Appendix A for the amended policy
statement.
We continued reviewing the packet by discussing strategies and by-laws.
Bill Goodrich is going to bring the wording of the Refding By-Laws
spelled out in the packet. Mollie was going to try to bring the By-Law
book.
We also decided we needed to know what's already available for various
_,groups in town in terms of moderate or subsidized housing. This would
lid us in assessing our future needs. Mollie volunteered to do some
..research for us.
Dick Dempster suggested that we might consider broadening the linkage
policy to include smaller-scale developments.
A MOTION WAS MADE TO ACCEPT THE MINUTES OF MARCH MEETING. The minutes
were accepted.
