BOARD DISCUSSIONS:  
Master Plan Committee – Composition - There was Board discussion regarding the number of voting members on the 
Committee.  The draft presented to the Board defined 15 voting members.  
• Two members of the Planning Board, appointed by the Planning Board  
• Two members of the Board of Selectmen, appointed by the Board of Selectmen 
• One member of the Conservation Commission, appointed by the Conservation Commission 
• One member of the Council on Aging, appointed by the Council on Aging 
• One member of the Parks and Recreation Commission, appointed by the Parks and Recreation 
Commission 
• One member of the Lunenburg School Committee, appointed by the Lunenburg School Committee  
• One member of the Lunenburg Housing Authority, appointed by the Lunenburg Housing Authority 
• One member of the Zoning Board of Appeals, appointed by the Zoning Board of Appeals 
• One member of the Finance Committee, appointed by the Finance Committee  
• Four members at large, appointed by the Planning Board 
If desired, the Committee could form s ub-committees, e.g. the C ouncil on Aging member and the Planning Board member with 
regard to the Housing Element.  That sub -committee would then come back and report to the full Committee.   The consultant 
would do a lot of work off -line and then come back and present it to the full Committee.  M. Brenner posed the idea of making 
some of the members voting members and some non -voting liaisons.  Board consensus was for membership to be defined as 
representation from a board/committee/commission and not a named individual.  With that option, if a representative was unable 
to make a meeting, another representative would be allowed to attend and vote.  M. Allison recommended the Charge be sent 
out to all boards/committees/commissions for input as to Committee composition.
