Summary

The Concord Community Preservation Committee elected Diane as chair and Jeff Collins as vice chair, paid tribute to departing member Burton Flint and thanked Nancy Nelson for her work on historic preservation issues; staff were commended for meeting administration.

At the close of its May 19 meeting, the Concord Community Preservation Committee elected Diane (select board appointee) as chair and Jeff Collins as vice chair for the coming term.

The committee also used its final agenda time to thank two members for service. Burton Flint, a select board appointee who said this was his last meeting after six to seven years of service, received tributes for his procedural guidance and steadying role. Nancy Nelson, the Historical Commission representative, was thanked specifically for her attention to historic preservation applications and for shepherding complex projects such as Right Tavern.

Members praised staff, notably Ann, for assembling the meeting materials, tracking grant paperwork and preparing the extension and closeout tables. Diane will lead the committee over the next year, with Jeff Collins serving as vice chair; both were confirmed by vote during the meeting.

Practical note: the committee discussed coordinating with the select board to ensure liaisons are listed and to confirm outreach for future meetings. Several departing members said they will remain available as resources to the CPC.

No policy votes occurred during the election segment; the changes take effect immediately.
