The Town of Lakeville Community Preservation Committee took the following formal actions at its Jan. 16, 2025 meeting:

- CPA 2026 budget article: Committee voted unanimously to forward the CPA 2026 draft budget article to the spring Town Meeting warrant (figures derived from the town accountant's projection). The draft identifies 10% of projected receipts ($25,331.84) to be shared among the three CPA categories and a 3% administrative allocation ($7,599.55).

- Thompson Hill Cemetery Step 2 application: Committee voted unanimously to recommend a $10,000 Step 2 CPA grant application from the Lakeville Cemetery Commission for gravestone cleaning, resetting and minor repairs at Thompson Hill Cemetery. The Lakeville Historical Commission supplied a letter of support noting the cemetery is on the state inventory of historic sites.

- CPC public hearing: Committee voted unanimously to schedule and publicize the annual CPC public hearing for Feb. 20, 2025, 6:30 p.m. (hybrid format at the Lakeville Police Station with Zoom). The committee assigned roles for newspaper notice, website and newsletter postings, slideshow assembly and printed handouts.

- Approval of minutes: Committee approved the Dec. 19 meeting minutes. One member abstained from the vote because they were not present at that prior meeting; the chair announced the motion passed with one abstention.

All committee recommendations to place articles or applications on the spring Town Meeting warrant are advisory; final appropriations will be made by Town Meeting voters.
