During the meeting, the board reviewed the previous meeting minutes and unanimously approved them. They then moved on to discuss the details of the upcoming town meeting, slated for April 22nd, including the budget and article presentations. The board outlined a plan for a concise budget presentation at the town meeting, aiming to utilize seven slides that would cover budget strengths, a balanced budget overview, revenue and expenditure breakdowns, and major budget drivers. A focus was placed on the significance of explaining the use of Community Preservation Committee (CPC) funds for the acquisition of property on Sandy Pond Road due to public interest and questions raised on social media.

In addition to the budget presentation, the board discussed having additional materials ready for various articles, including those pertaining to capital projects and the acquisition of 71 Sandy Pond Road. The intent is to ensure that any questions from the public can be promptly addressed with accurate information.

The board also acknowledged a soon-to-be-vacated member’s last meeting, expressing gratitude for their service. Finally, the board opted not to set the next meeting date immediately, preferring to reconvene after the town meeting to discuss future topics.
