MOTION: Close Applications:July15th(for Fall Town Meeting) Moved by Hush,Second by Robinson All"Aye': It was noted that we still have rolling applications. Paul Hush Proposal concerning Housing Consultant: 4. Hush - We need to find someone to pay by the hour, who is always available. Possibly use a retainer by the month? Once a project is approved, we could get someone. But we have to start making some progress somewhere with Housing in Brewster. 5. Carr- Housing needs someone like Mark Robinson, but for Housing. If we could identify possible people and get quotes, we could then go for the lowest cost. 6. Ruchinskas—We should not do a retainer. Why not use HAC? 7. Lach —I like Paul Hush's idea. We need someone who is always there to check something out for us, to quarterback housing propositions. The Chatham CPC hired Bob Murray and Laura Schufeldt, out of HAC. We could ask HAC and the CCC to see who is out there. A. Retainer— not a good idea, do this piece by piece B. Take the money out of Administrative Expenses or out of Housing C. In terms of funding —other Housing groups have funds to work with. Community Preservation Committee Minutes May 24, 2006 Page 1 of 2 8. Carr- Maybe we could use up to a certain amount of$$ out of administrative expenses and then go to the Housing %. 9. Hush -We need to be able to reach someone easily by phone to set them on to a project immediately. 10.Ruchinskas-We could do a RFQ- and get an hourly rate and go from there. The average is $50-$75-$100/hour. Laura is $100/hour. An RFQ identifies the consultants and gives you the costs. 11.Hush -This is an excellent idea. We can use HAC and CDC to get information, then send out a letter. Now we need to move ahead and send out an RFQ to find a person to evaluate parcels and oversee completion of current projects. Go to LCC-CDC, HAC, Gisele Gauthier, who is also on the Housing Committee. MOTION - to approve concept of RFQ and to do it MOVED by Hush,SECOND by Robinson. Unanimous approval.

Carr — we need to work on combined projects. Open Space and Housing, Rec. and open space, etc. 24. Bassett- Recreation does not support this project. If there are trails it's one thing, but without that —"No". Tennis courts would be great. 2. Carr — Can we use Recreation money without the Recreation Committee saying yes? 3. Bassett— What are the Recreation interests for the Drummer Boy property? This is an Open Space project, not Recreation. 4. Robinson - There are Recreation and Open Space interests there — trails, area could be used for Bocce Ball courts, horseshoes, etc. 5. Lach — Are there trails there now?—"Yes". A connection to Wing Island would be nice. It has been talked about for years. The trail would have to cross over 2 other lots, owned by the Locks? I don't know if anyone has spoken with them about this possibility. We should ask them. Community Preservation Committee May 24,2006 Executive Session Minutes Page 1 of 2 6. Carr —The Drummer Boy project should go back to Open Space. Call Mark Robinson to go ahead with Mr. Cope. And, get an estimation of value from Saben or someone. 7.
