Article 8 in the lobby.
5. Application update Taylor will review other towns and make recommendations. We would like to
be ready to re-open for projects after Town Meeting – maybe have applications there?
6. Carr will provide an overview of CPA, that funds do not come out of the Town Budget.
Discussion of the three Articles which were pulled from Town Meeting Article 8:
There followed a discussion of why three of the articles were pulled by the Town Administrator–
on advice from Town Counsel based on a discussion with DOR. Other Towns may have done
such articles– but at their own risk–our Town Counsel is making a conservative decision based
on CPA funding regulations.
7. Bassett–In re the Whitecaps–Other towns may be more willing to cut corners than Brewster.
8. Carr–We must do our next articles in time, get them reviewed in a timely manner. We want to
make sure we work closely with the Town Administrator and Town Counsel.
