LETTVIN CONCERT SERIES: Joan Lettvin presented this year’s program for the Lettvin Concert Series and asked the Board if they would help solicit advertisers for the program. The Board agreed. The deadline for ads is July 1st with a goal of $2500 in advertising.
CHERYL BEHR: Cheryl noted that it had been 3 months since the town approved Article 41. It was agreed that there must be an understanding of how the Commission and Town will function together to oversee the Community Center. She handed out the Town’s financial policy, suggested the Commission review the Director’s position and noted the Commission will be responsible for submitting a budget to the Town. The group also discussed how maintenance issues will be handled, outlined the handling of deposits and expenses, and discussed who should be supervising the Director. It was agreed that the structure and flow of information must be clearly spelled out.
COMMISSION MEMBERSHIP: Jim reported that Christine Waite had expressed an interest in whatever financial position/role the Commission develops. A motion was made to nominate her to the Commission and was approved unanimously.
It was noted that Carol Conforti-Adams had requested a seat on the Commission, however no motion was made to nominate her.
CAP LEASE: There has been no word back yet and the June 30th deadline looms. Cheryl will be escalating the issue within the CAP organizational structure.
