rewrite of the Housing Chapter of the Comprehensive Plan, written in 2012 will be undertaken.
Communications with Cottages owners

Fredericks concerning his capital improvement request, the HAC discussed the chain of
communications between departments. It was agreed that a memo from the HAC should be sent to
Town Attorney’s office if/when it is necessary to notify Cottages owners. Any
letters/communications from HAC to Cottages owners need to be drafted, sent to Michelle
Tomasewski to put on Town letterhead and then forwarded to Town Attorney’s office.
Transition Period:

don’t get lost in the transition. One item to update is the Housing Registry application- it needs to
have a new point of contact now that Phillip has retired.
