Trustees say CPC favored "residents" wording for new sign; one CPC member wanted "taxpayers"
Summary
Trustees reported the Community Preservation Committee largely sided with using "residents" on library signage; a lone CPC member preferred "taxpayers." Trustees also discussed using the town seal instead of the library logo and noted no leftover CPC funds from a 2013 facade grant for an additional sign.
Trustees described a recent CPC meeting where members debated the phrasing on new signs recognizing CPC projects. "Most of the people wanted to go with our preferred one, which was 'residents'," trustee Janet reported. One CPC member argued for the term "taxpayers," which some trustees said felt "less warm and fuzzy." Trustees said the CPC voted for the "residents" wording and that they were not opposed to replacing the library logo with the town seal.
Trustees also clarified the library received CPC money in 2013 for facade work (including stairs) and said there is not money in that old account to pay for an additional sign; any further work or an extra sign would require a joint meeting with the CPC to address funding.
