The Lunenburg Municipal Building Design Committee (formerly the TC Passios Building Design Committee) will continue to work with any contracted architectural and engineering firms, as they become available, to review space needs for town offices, school uses and community space at the building and/or land known as the TC Passios.
The rest of what the town says about it (154 more words)
Additionally, the committee will work to prioritize and/or rank the existing space usage requests and explore a variety of design permutations at different estimated budget tiers that would meet the needs of the Town according to those priorities. The committee may analyze, discuss and investigate other Town-owned buildings and properties in their recommendations as they deem necessary to fulfill this charge.
This Committee will prepare viable, cost-effective solutions for the Select Board that conform to all the Town's existing financial and fiscal policies and take into consideration any/all large-scale capital expenditures projected for the next 10 years. This charge was amended by the Select Board at their January 4, 2022 meeting and may be amended at any future meeting. At the July 15, 2025 meeting of the Select Board, it was voted to add a member from the Architectural Preservation District Commission to the composition of the LMBDC and reduced the quorum to four.

Upcoming meetings
Nothing on the calendar for a future date. The site was last updated 2026-10-10; a meeting noticed since then appears when it is next built, and one that has already happened moves to recent meetings by itself.
Recent meetings
The last 15 dates this board met, by today’s date rather than the day the site was built — so a meeting moves here on its own. For a program, every agenda and set of minutes as one text file: /minutes/lunenburg-municipal-building-design-committee.txt.
Votes, newest first
From the town’s minutes (60 of 60 sets read) and our minutes of the recordings (38), joined per meeting: 17 substantive, 103 procedural (accepting minutes, adjourning). Where both records have a vote the town’s wording stands; none disagree on the outcome.

The town’s minutes are the record: a vote from them carries the minutes’ own words, checked verbatim. A vote from the recording only was written by a language model from machine captions — a motion as heard, and “not audible” a finding about the recording — and links to the second in the video. Both records are read as they arrive and joined here, whichever came first.
Time tracking
48.8 h of discussion across the 38 recorded meetings we have minutes for, by topic. A topic can overlap another, so the shares can sum past 100%.
Budget schedule
Measured from this board’s own posted agendas over the last 4 budget cycles (July to June): the dates each subject appeared. The “expect” column is the typical first and last date across those cycles — a scheduled subject, not a decision.
| subject | expect | FY21 | FY23 | FY25 | FY26 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Town Meeting | Aug 31 → Apr 23 | Jun 8, Oct 16, Dec 4, Dec 18, Feb 26 | Aug 31, Sep 10, Oct 20, Oct 27, Nov 2, Nov 3, Nov 9, Mar 7, Apr 7, Apr 21, May 26 | — | Feb 3, Feb 19, Apr 23 |

A cycle is named for the fiscal year it builds: FY26 is the budget being built now. Read off the agenda text with a word search, so a subject named differently on an agenda is missed and one mentioned in passing is counted.
