During the meeting, a resident thanked the committee for their support of the dredging project at Conoman Lakes, highlighting its importance for environmental, recreational, and economic benefits. The committee then proceeded to validate previous votes on key projects to ensure legal compliance. The South Library Yard revitalization and South Pond Cod dredging project received unanimous validation from present committee members.

Preparation for the May 2024 town meeting was another focal point, with the CPC reviewing warrant articles and their explanations for submission. The financial aspect of the projects was discussed, emphasizing the importance of accurate estimations and the adherence to required percentages for fund allocations.

In terms of planning, the CPC is working towards establishing a Community Preservation Plan, which will encompass sections for parking, recreation, open space, housing, and historic resources. The committee aims to have a plan ready by June, which will be reviewed annually.

The meeting also saw the introduction of new application forms and flowcharts intended to assist applicants in determining project eligibility. The committee agreed to eliminate the certificate of non-collusion from the application instructions, deeming it unnecessary.
