The Community Preservation Committee met on Tuesday, August 20, 2024 as scheduled. One item was on the agenda.
Alan Earls, Historical Commission Chair, provided an update on the funding being looked for by the Rod & Gun Club to digitize some films from the 1940's & 1950's. The Club may have already done so but any funding would help them cover the costs (approx. $3,000).
Committee expressed desire to see a sample of the output before committing to fund. Details were being arranged to do so.

Tapping into the Master Plan Update Cmte meeting underway, good news for us is that they are going to slide their completion dates to provide more time for the objectives and implementation details.
Discussion of adding dates through the end of this year with target to go to Planning Board in Jan 2025, and Town Council also in Jan 2025.
Much discussion around staff and dept review dates and time lines (i.e. giving town staff enough time to do so)
They didn't explicitly discuss but I am hoping that they also allow for time for community review & comment before going to Planning Board and then to the Town Council.
Dates for meetings for the remainder of 2024: motion to approve additional meeting dates as follows: ** Sep 3, Oct 2, Oct 23, Nov 6, and Dec 11. ** Voted via roll call and unanimously passes
Meeting closes at 8:20 PM
