- CPA 2026 budget article: Committee voted unanimously to forward the CPA 2026 draft budget article to the spring Town Meeting warrant (figures derived from the town accountant's projection). The draft identifies 10% of projected receipts ($25,331.84) to be shared among the three CPA categories and a 3% administrative allocation ($7,599.55).

- Thompson Hill Cemetery Step 2 application: Committee voted unanimously to recommend a $10,000 Step 2 CPA grant application from the Lakeville Cemetery Commission for gravestone cleaning, resetting and minor repairs at Thompson Hill Cemetery. The Lakeville Historical Commission supplied a letter of support noting the cemetery is on the state inventory of historic sites.

- CPC public hearing: Committee voted unanimously to schedule and publicize the annual CPC public hearing for Feb. 20, 2025, 6:30 p.m. (hybrid format at the Lakeville Police Station with Zoom). The committee assigned roles for newspaper notice, website and newsletter postings, slideshow assembly and printed handouts.

- Approval of minutes: Committee approved the Dec. 19 meeting minutes. One member abstained from the vote because they were not present at that prior meeting; the chair announced the motion passed with one abstention.

All committee recommendations to place articles or applications on the spring Town Meeting warrant are advisory; final appropriations will be made by Town Meeting voters.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Lakeville Community Preservation Committee, 1-16-25","oneSentenceSummary","Summary of formal committee actions taken at the Jan. 16 Community Preservation Committee meeting, including unanimous recommendations to send the CPA 2026 budget article and a $10,000 Step 2 cemetery grant to spring Town Meeting, approval of the public hearing date, and approval of December minutes with one abstention.","taxTitle","Town of Lakeville, Plymouth County, Massachusetts","taxId",58187,"location","Massachusetts","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":46,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6360850,"Lakeville CPC finalizes publicity plan for Feb. 20 public hearing; will offer hybrid option",2351,602000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2172703-c4394651458d14000a338bff79e8505b&start=602&end=2953","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2172703-c4394651458d14000a338bff79e8505b/thumbnail_602000.jpg","/articles/6360850/Massachusetts/Lakeville-CPC-finalizes-publicity-plan-for-Feb-20-public-hearing-will-offer-hybrid-option","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6360850-d12597c1ca90cbcf699765f6eb3624d5/orig.mp4?Expires=1771068109&Signature=I~1tA9iAqkeBhQ1ZtDmF5HKfssTFKaNC-wVXKQDB0L8z7jxU90Ul2iuwSIJHn9mstnE5tf3X-UHS8FCK8x5ScxqbwuuLZkxWD8B6QXNVi6~eThz9jKsdXXYSQEkzz7ztOtGuNxsEZO52qdXc6TVG5X7Vv51PL3Xl~8gLKZR0BNYcc5t4wiUzQpKjtxCCIw7ZOW7R3JLLzEB18wWK1RLEi83DyytSDY77Pbn9opVDnKRlLiCILM5Y5EZk3~AwW7IOeGyWexiPFH7TYI81RUEduxiVwW8RsBXlvHLV5tAW1prhsDaAvlK85m1QAo6guCZ-9iTOzCLavq~SdiR46E5f6A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Town of Lakeville Community Preservation Committee scheduled its annual public hearing on the Community Preservation Plan for Feb. 20, 2025, at 6:30 p.m. at the Lakeville Police Station and agreed on a multi-channel publicity plan intended to maximize public participation.

Committee members discussed posting timelines and agreed to contact the local newspaper the week of Feb. 3–7 so a notice could run the week of Feb. 13. The committee also identified the town website (banner and events calendar), the town newsletter, the town's Facebook page and other social media, the electronic email-blast subscription, and the physical town bulletin boards — including the old Town Hall board and the community sign — as distribution channels. Members asked Tracy (town staff) to post the official meeting posting and to put a consistent notice on the public sign and bulletin boards.

The committee favored offering a hybrid meeting (in-person at the police station with Zoom) and asked staff to confirm technical arrangements with Jose. Members discussed a slideshow of completed and ongoing CPA projects (doors, cupola work, John Pond Park) to display in the meeting room and to share via Zoom; they agreed to assemble a set of 10–20 printed handouts for people who attend in person and to post links for remote attendees. Committee members volunteered roles: Sue to work with the newspaper notice and posting draft; Nancy and others to compile photos and handouts; Robert to assemble the slideshow; and Tracy and Lacey to coordinate website and newsletter placements. The committee discussed logistics including HDMI/projector hookups, file formats and using a separate laptop for the slideshow so the Zoom host computer is not overloaded.

Members also discussed how to guide members of the public who have project ideas, agreeing to provide clear direction at the hearing: attendees should bring project ideas and, where applicable, seek sponsorship from committees or nonprofit organizations (for example, conservation, historical commission, or recreation) when projects require institutional sponsorship under CPA rules. The committee emphasized that it will gather input at the hearing and can follow up with more detailed guidance after consulting town staff or the statewide CPA coalition when needed.

The committee voted to advertise the hearing and to present a display/slideshow of completed and ongoing CPA projects during the meeting.","Committee members set a public hearing on the Community Preservation Plan for Feb. 20, 2025 at 6:30 p.m., discussed outreach (newspaper, website banner, social media, town newsletter, bulletin boards) and agreed to pursue a hybrid (in-person + Zoom) meeting with slides and handouts.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6360855,"Lakeville CPC recommends $10,000 for Thompson Hill Cemetery gravestone repairs",377,190000,567000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2172703-c4394651458d14000a338bff79e8505b&start=190&end=567","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2172703-c4394651458d14000a338bff79e8505b/thumbnail_190000.jpg","/articles/6360855/Massachusetts/Lakeville-CPC-recommends-10000-for-Thompson-Hill-Cemetery-gravestone-repairs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6360855-5b491ca46f312c0c6166e8dc89b4a0b2/orig.mp4?Expires=1771068109&Signature=Bw9ISczifEJBxx2C1ZmVCrZ1ww84noKmld~k8~~uYNxeVVl8nQjLvWi~NHt6ABE7wR-2bnYruGlLi2by1NcIlqTc8W22CHRCcqT1v-RJVXLAjNEm-E~eGYAkTK-Lyp-yUJvH1RvCuZyNbbFO9Nlf~GTRyHi--fj6Divr3AvUY3-6KxKrAqxQdA~aSX38Pt5mdOO7NFP8S7UQA4vu0nlTgns5l1szt0~eT1BdWY3h6nEwRqpika4xg0b6-ptOUn7AVhZfF8egKduNJflcrwL2XGhPCiZU4aA8SzMMaixjRJFzLvhpYX-s32VsigESaXQxNAhgGFQe6NveN8Dp75fXLw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Town of Lakeville Community Preservation Committee voted Jan. 16 to recommend a $10,000 Step 2 CPA grant application from the Lakeville Cemetery Commission for repair and conservation work at Thompson Hill Cemetery.

A letter dated Jan. 15 from the Lakeville Historical Commission was presented and read into the record; it \"strongly\" supported the restoration work and noted that Thompson Hill Cemetery is on the state inventory of historic sites in Lakeville. The letter, signed by Bridal Reynolds, chairman of the Lakeville Historical Commission, also noted that proper gravestone repair and preservation would support a future National Register nomination.

Committee members reviewed a detailed cost breakdown in the application, which lists about 14 separate repair and cleaning items targeted mostly to smaller slate and marble markers. The application specifies cleaning, resetting on new foundations, and repairs appropriate to each stone type. Committee members said the same contractor had completed prior cemetery work without safety or preservation concerns.

The committee made a motion to forward the Step 2 application to the spring Town Meeting for a $10,000 appropriation and voted unanimously to do so. Committee members clarified that if the work exceeds $10,000, additional funds would not be available from the committee in that fiscal year; the Lakeville Cemetery Commission will need to seek additional funding later.

The committee emphasized that its recommendation is to place the application on the Town Meeting warrant; final funding will be determined by Town Meeting voters. Committee members also noted that some gravestones — particularly older slate markers — are fragile and that conservation work sometimes uncovers additional needs.

The letter of support from the Lakeville Historical Commission and the application materials will accompany the committee’s recommendation to the town for the spring warrant.","The committee voted unanimously to recommend a $10,000 Step 2 Community Preservation Act grant to the Lakeville Cemetery Commission for cleaning, resetting and minor repairs of older gravestones at Thompson Hill Cemetery; the Lakeville Historical Commission supplied a letter of support.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":44,"_45":91,"_47":103,"_49":50,"_51":104,"_53":105,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":106,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":107,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6360860,"Lakeville CPC approves CPA budget article for spring town meeting; 10% allocation set",147,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2172703-c4394651458d14000a338bff79e8505b&start=43&end=190","/articles/6360860/Massachusetts/Lakeville-CPC-approves-CPA-budget-article-for-spring-town-meeting-10-allocation-set","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6360860-fa899d00aef61104a7bf6e7a99f122bb/orig.mp4?Expires=1771068109&Signature=HYzbtcMi9Cdt-nIbk2OzH8KVwexcYubDXVlqFx7FOTITGeAzYj-3G0ouciwFnD6lMU6OmGMnQ05D4TVRv7GiNknNpNq8RlNRqERXSKA0zC4o0ONH6g6MAivXb-RxDh1OkfF2UdkVl2JcDT~4jP9wmG-MiAFdV8gnI4wkaqtGD8uDvHXyrcRKQvuCa~BiBw2bxm-hujiJE-rxAL7T8BzyPuBwpTRrvuMGPUqqtAlf0IeG5YOnRTeyzmkLec7OG9-hVtUs4zSg9DX9jK6p-FyH8Xe6xISDhAQg~8SIF~Mh7eM~~2ytZG1mCU73kML4gBpbWt83j-KzawwFW5N8A0IjgA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Town of Lakeville Community Preservation Committee voted unanimously Jan. 16 to forward a draft Community Preservation Act (CPA) 2026 budget article to the spring Town Meeting, approving the committee’s calculations for the percentages to be placed on the warrant.

Committee members approved figures based on the new town accountant’s projection of $253,318.36 in taxable receipts. Ten percent of that amount — $25,331.84 — was identified for distribution among the three CPA categories (historic preservation, open space/recreation, and affordable housing). The draft article also includes a 3% administrative allocation, computed at $7,599.55, and notes an undesignated CPA fund balance of $177,322.85.

The vote was procedural: the committee moved and seconded a motion to send the CPA budget article to the spring Town Meeting warrant and the motion carried unanimously. After the vote the chair said she would forward the approved warrant language to the town administrator for placement on the spring warrant.

The committee said it used an email and projection from the new town accountant, Mike Ellis, to calculate the numbers and inserted them into the standard sample article provided by the statewide coalition. Committee members asked that formatting errors (commas/periods) be corrected before final posting; no objections to the funding percentages or the draft article were recorded.

The committee’s approval is a recommendation to place the budget article on the Town Meeting warrant. Final appropriation of CPA funds will depend on the spring Town Meeting vote, the committee noted.

The committee did not record individual mover/second names on the tape; the motion was announced and the vote called by the chair. The committee meeting was recorded and the committee said it would forward the draft article and corrected formatting to town staff for the warrant posting.","The Town of Lakeville Community Preservation Committee voted to send its draft Community Preservation Act (CPA) 2026 budget article to the spring Town Meeting, endorsing a 10% allocation split among allowable categories and a 3% administrative figure.","actionData","errors"]
