[MassHistPres] CPC concerns and Finance committee

[Judy Markland]

We in Whately would be interested in this answer as well.  At least as 
of several years ago, I know the Finance Comm in Weston took no position 
on CPA project votes in the belief that the town had created the fund 
and the town should decide how best to spend the money.

Most recently Our CPC recommended a project for an abandoned 1871 schoolhouse. The Board of selectmen also supported the project. The finance committee would not support, and maintained we had jumped ahead of the QUEUE??? I was wondering if other towns also go through the finance committee before town meeting. My understanding is that CPA was created because towns weren't spending money on the areas of Historic, Housing and Open Space.  By sending the CPC project to the finance committee does this not circumvent the spirit of the purpose?
