August 2, 2001
The meeting was called to order at 7:34 PM.
Present: Chair Paul Dustin, Rick Schubert, Pat Lloyd, Andrew Grimes, Jack Downing,
Dick Howard, Kim Honetschlager
Also present: Amy Senier
Paul Dustin summarized our progress to date. The committee has received input from
relevant committees and has made a presentation to the Selectmen, but has not solicited
public input. Paul stated that the August 9 meeting has been advertised for public input
and, following that meeting, we will review all the input, formulate our conclusions, and
write our final report.
Paul asked those committee members who represent other committees whether they felt
they had the information needed to represent their parent committees or whether they
needed more information. All members indicated that they were prepared to represent
their committees.
Pat Lloyd and Rick Schubert indicated that they will not be at the August 9 meeting. Pat
said that according to Peter Hechenbleikner a quorum is not necessary to take public
input.
Dick Howard suggested inviting Town Meeting members to the August 9 public input
session, but Paul suggested that the time to hear from TM members is after the CPA is
placed on the warrant. He stated that our audience now is the Board of Selectmen.
The committee discussed strategy for passing the CPA. There was disagreement as to
whether it was wise to place the CPA on the warrant even if the chances of passage were
very low so that it would be discussed at Town Meeting.
Pat passed out a revised draft outline for the final report. Paul suggested that 6 pages in
length be our goal. The committee was comfortable with 6 to 8 pages. Paul volunteered
to edit and collate the final report.
