- Meeting Overview:
The Dighton Community Preservation Committee, in a meeting on May 16, 2024, focused on the upcoming annual town meeting warrant articles and the financial status of the committee’s funds. The committee addressed potential updates to project signage and the unique reimbursement process for Titan housing’s electrical panel project.
During the meeting, discussions centered on the preparation for the town meeting warrant articles, with emphasis on ensuring proper representation and explanation of each project to the public. Members reviewed the steps to advocate for their articles, including the possibility of letting project representatives speak directly to their initiatives. The committee also went over the language and details of the articles to be presented.
Financial reports were also a key aspect of the meeting. An update was provided on the state’s matching funds, indicating a projected decrease from 20% to 14%, though higher investment returns had almost quadrupled the amount of interest being paid into the fund.
Additionally, the committee addressed the process for updating CPC project signage to ensure recognition for funded projects. While a sign company was contacted for a new proof, the committee agreed to seek additional quotes for comparison.
Lastly, a unique reimbursement process for the Titan housing electrical panel project was clarified, highlighting the different procedures required when dealing with an entity separate from the town, such as submitting invoices, proof of work, and canceled checks for reimbursement.
