Summary

CPC staff told the Finance Committee the CPC budget is level‑funded; the committee expects three applications this cycle—Elliott School playground, a disc‑golf feasibility study, and a roofing project for the housing authority c‑beds project.

The Community Preservation Committee (CPC) administrator reported to the Finance Committee that the CPC budget for FY27 is level‑funded from the prior year and that FY25 spend was limited (about $37,000). CPC staff said they have three pending applications: renovations for Elliott School playground, a disc‑golf feasibility study, and a roofing project for c‑beds (housing authority). The administrator said past spending has varied depending on project needs and that she has preliminary reserve figures from the finance committee but that those figures are not yet final for publication.

Committee members requested more detail on reserves and prior appropriations and were told staff will supply past appropriation and expenditure data when the CPC appears again during the budget cycle. No CPC appropriations were approved at the Jan. 28 meeting.
