Templeton CPC accepts minutes, closes cupola account and formally accepts project withdrawal

The Templeton Community Preservation Committee voted during its March 2025 meeting to approve the February meeting minutes, close a cupola project account and revert $7,404.56 to the historic resources fund, and accept the Narragansett Regional School Districtwithdrawal of a previously proposed project.

The votes were taken by roll call. Committee members recorded as voting in favor included Candace, Joanne, Jourdain and Carrie in each instance. The cupola account closure was described to the committee as a final accounting step now that the Town Hall cupola signs have been installed and the remaining bronze plaque hardware is expected to be hung; a staff member told the committee, "The amount is $7,404.56." The committee also voted to accept the Narragansett Regional School Districtrequest to withdraw its warrant article from the town meeting warrant.

Why it matters: the actions finalize bookkeeping for completed projects and clear items from the committeeagenda ahead of the annual town meeting in May. Reverting remaining project funds returns money to the committeefunding pools so they can be reallocated or held for future projects.

Vote details (roll call results as recorded at the meeting): - Approval of February meeting minutes: yes (Candace, Joanne, Jourdain, Carrie). Outcome: approved. - Motion to close the Cupola project account and revert $7,404.56 to Historic Resources: yes (Candace, Joanne, Jourdain, Carrie).

Outcome: approved (accepted without prejudice).
