Trustees press CPC for 'residents' wording on library project signs
Summary
The trustees told the Community Preservation Committee they'd prefer the word 'residents' rather than 'citizens' on signs recognizing CPC-funded library projects and asked for a CPC review; trustees suggested sending a representative if CPC reopens the matter.
Trustees discussed wording for Community Preservation Committee signage labeling previous library projects and expressed a clear preference for the term "residents" rather than "citizens." The director said CPC members had debated wording and some had even proposed "taxpayers," but the library trustees said they preferred consistency with existing signs that use "residents."
The director explained the CPC has not yet formally closed out two past projects tied to the library and that the outstanding signage is one reason records have not been finalized. He said Crown Trophy had provided signage quotes and that swapping the single word would be straightforward if CPC agrees.
Trustees said a joint meeting with CPC had not been popular in past discussions and that, if CPC reopens the issue, the board could appoint a single trustee to attend and represent the library's preference. "I much prefer residents," one trustee said. The board asked the director to keep them apprised of CPC meeting dates; the director said a CPC meeting may not occur in July and could fall to August.
No vote was taken on the signage language at the trustees meeting; the director said he would communicate the trustees' preference to CPC representatives.
