Deschamps calls the roll. Richter reads a description of the process by which public meetings are held
remotely along a description of how the public may access these meetings.
The Subcommittee reviews the draft meeting minutes from the May 19, 2020 Subcommittee meeting.

paragraph. Beckwith motions to approve the minutes with corrections. Bussone seconds. There is a
roll call vote to accept the minutes. The minutes are accepted.

provided by the full Community Preservation Committee made during their meeting of May 21, 2020.
Thomas Bussone comments that the revised draft captures everything that was discussed. Nancy
Marino and Derek Beckwith concur. Marino makes a motion to accept the updated subcommittee
report. Beckwith seconds the motion. Deschamps calls the roll. The Subcommittee votes unanimously
to accept the revised Subcommittee report.
Richter moves on to discuss next steps in the process beginning with an invitation to City officials to
provide comment. Subcommittee members agree to draft and send a letter to the Mayor with the
Subcommittee report attached, inviting comments and suggestions. The CPC will send a typical
transmittal letter to the City Council, which will describe this project as well as the other two projects
recommended by the CPC for funding. Both letters will be sent this week.
If the City Council does vote to award funding then the next step would be to reach out to potential
partnering agencies.

Richter for review before submittal.
