unanimous
c. BOS warrant Article 70 re: change CPC by-laws to modify make-
up of CPC and adjust our procedures. Long discussion ensued with all
members participating. The overall consensus was of major disappointment
to the lack of a response to the 11-22-2010 letter combined without a
response to our 1-20-2011 memo. These proposed CPC by-law revisions
where met without any communications, participation or input from the
CPC. Motion made by M. Voigt seconded by L. Williams to inquire as to
what initiated the BOS to take this action. The CPC is requesting all memos,
drafts and correspondence among TON officials to properly ascertain the
origins of the by-laws revisions to the CPC. The motion carries 8-0
unanimous. Motion by L.Williams seconded by M.Voigt requesting new
Town Counsel to access this matter for the Nantucket CPC. When the
materials requested in the first motion of this matter are received a new legal
opinion will be sought. Motion passes 7-1 with M. Kopko opposed.
Additionally, it was agreed that when this matter will be addressed at the
FINCOM hearing, CPC will attend.
New Business:
a. If was ascertained by those present a quorum will be available for
the next regularly scheduled CPC meeting to be held 3-15.
b. Requisitions for payments will be processed for payment if the
March meeting is not held due to a lack of a quorum. Motion by B. Rector,
seconded by L. Williams carries unanimous.
c. Discussion regarding the previously funded AHTF house move
(Brant Point) property which was aborted. This home was intended to go to
Town owned property, however, due to many issues that did not occur.
Motion by L.Williams, seconded by M. Kopko carries unanimous to
formally request that the CPC monies be clearly identified and accounted,
for future affordable housing purposes. The TON has now since received
back the roughly $60,000 it received for the above mentioned house move.
d. The current health status of Neville Richen was discussed. The
board was informed that further surgery is planned for March 10th. The
board extends its well wishes and hope for a speedy recovery and return to
routine activities in the near future. It was agreed that the CPC will explore
options for temporary office help is the interim for its administrative needs.
