The Board of Trustees approved multiple sets of minutes and a draft website description for the new Affordable Housing Trust, and then moved into executive session.

Trustees approved the regular meeting minutes from Feb. 27 after a minor footer/date correction. They deferred approval of the Feb. 27 executive session minutes, saying those should be approved during the closed session. The trustees approved CPC meeting minutes for Feb. 27 with one abstention (Al) because that trustee had not been present. The trustees also approved minutes from the March 5, 2025 meeting; two trustees (Al and Jesse) recorded abstentions on that vote because they were not present at that meeting.

Trustees approved a website description for the Affordable Housing Trust and agreed to add the committee’s 16 statutory powers (as had appeared on the prior website) unless staff advise otherwise. The chair will send the description to town staff (Jim Haggerty) for posting; trustees agreed to copy the town administrator, Mark Purple.

At the end of the regular agenda, the trustees voted to enter executive session. The motion was made and seconded under a Massachusetts open‑meeting statute referenced during the motion; trustees then voted to enter executive session, after which the public portion of the meeting was closed. One remote attendee (named Jay) was given the opportunity to speak before the closed session began; none offered comments.

All procedural votes were routine approvals; the trustees recorded unanimous or near‑unanimous votes where noted and deferred any executive‑session approvals to the closed session as appropriate.
