Discussion regarding all CPC articles. Brannigan reported that
an hour long hearing was held with FINCOM regarding Article70. Five CPC
members spoke RB, MV, MZ, LW spoke against the article, and MK spoke
in favor. Additionally many members of the community spoke in behalf of
the CPC. Subsequently L. Williams prepared and delivered an 8 page
document, dated 3-8-11 outlining the issues and the background regarding
the by-law amendment change. As a result, it has been learned that
FINCOM has voted to TAKE NO ACTION. Motion by M.Kopko seconded

action and also requests follow-up from the BOS who are meeting 3-16 to

report back to the CPC by the end week.
New Business:

b. Dreamland/ Deed Restriction
A long, varied and lack of consensus discussion ensued
regarding this matter as initiated by M.Kopko. Materials copied and
presented to members during the discussion. Legal opinion rendered from
new counsel on 3-14-11. Concerns as to the language in FinCOM's motion
pertaining to "expenditures are conditional….." Questions rose as to why
new town counsel did not contact the CPC to address issue. Prior town
counsel has approved and adopted this language for the past nine years. CPC
members wanted more time to study this issue. Some suggested an
emergency meeting prior to ATM. Others were suggesting that the FinCom
language in their motion need to more closely follow our policy and
procedures. Matter TABLED after much debate.
Adjournment:
4:45pm Motion carries
