Committee formalizes leadership, approves minutes and sets outreach schedule

At the start of the meeting the committee recorded a motion by Paula to nominate Richard McN as chair; the motion was seconded by Chrisford and the vote was described as unanimous. Later the committee moved to adopt the minutes as printed; a voice vote approved the minutes.

Members confirmed the meeting had remote access via Zoom, though no remote participants had yet joined. The chair and staff agreed the meeting operator would manage any remote attendees who join later.

The group then moved to administrative planning: scheduling two preparatory meetings in May (May 11 and May 18) at 6 p.m., and aiming for a roughly biweekly cadence so the committee can finalize a public survey and presentation for the June 10 town meeting. Volunteers agreed to pilot and host the survey and to assemble a short summary of what the prior plan accomplished to date so the committee can show credible results at outreach events.

At the meeting’s close a motion to adjourn was seconded and the committee concluded its session.
