New Durham CIP committee confirms officers and sets weekly meeting schedule
Summary
At the May 7 meeting the New Durham CIP committee nominated and confirmed officers by voice vote (chair, vice chair, secretary and a spreadsheet lead) and agreed to meet weekly on Thursdays at 6 p.m.
The New Durham Advisory CIP committee used voice votes at its May 7 meeting to fill officer roles needed to start the fiscal-year CIP work.
A motion was made to nominate Scott Drumming for chair; after a second and brief discussion members approved the nomination by voice. "I'll start off by nominating Scott to be the chair," a participant said during the nomination segment; the motion was seconded and members answered "aye." The group then discussed vice-chair responsibilities, conflict-of-interest optics for select-board representation and the secretary role for taking digital minutes.
Committee members also identified a spreadsheet lead (referred to in the meeting as the "spreadsheet guru") to manage red sheets and data templates. Members discussed digital note-taking workflows (Word-format agendas and real-time typing) so minutes can be produced in a consistent, shareable format and offered mutual backup for the secretary role.
Following officer confirmations, the committee set a standing meeting cadence: weekly on Thursdays at 6 p.m. They assigned follow-ups to finalize the CIP template, schedule work sessions with finance staff and prepare project interviews for the summer.
