I agree  with Judy Markland's take on this and it is the way in which our 
local CPC  was run when I served on it years ago.  How would 
recommendations 
of  projects by the Historical Commission get to the CPC and if the HC rep 
was  not advocating for such projects who would?  Suppose the local HC 
wanted  
to use CPA funds to conduct survey work or National Register work, who  
would 
convey that information to the CPC?  It should be you who also  would 
probably guide the request through the process - perhaps even being  the 
spokesperson at town meeting.

My understanding is that those  specific representatives (conservation, 
historical commission, housing)  are on the CPA to be sure that the 10% 
allocations are set aside and spent  on worthy projects that will enhance 
the 
town's open space, preservation  of historic resources, and improve 
community 
housing.  And in  addition other moneys may be spent on park and recreation 
which also has a  representative on CPCs to advocate for those projects.

Please ask your  CPC to reconsider its rules and perhaps ask the Community 
Preservation  Coalition for assistance in developing rules and regulations 
or 
perhaps  ask some of the surrounding communities for copies of their rules 
and  regs.

Good luck!
