Jim Fitzgerald moved that the COA issue a letter thanking and endorsing the Natick Police's Stop Elder Financial Abuse roadshow and include suggestions to improve the presentation; the board also offered the Safety Workgroup's assistance in rolling out the program. The motion passed during the safety workgroup report and Fitzgerald was asked to draft the letter for the board's review.

The minutes record individual member votes in the roll call and state the motion "passes." The roll-call line lists some members with 'No' beside their names within the parentheses, but the minutes' summary line indicates the motion passed with eight affirmative votes and the meeting text records "Motion passes."
