A meeting of the Board of Directors was held on Monday 11/16/2020. Present were Chair,
Randy Waters; Vice -Chair, Lou Amoruso; Secretary, Sean Grammel; Treasurer, Lee Ann
Cerretani; member, Alberto Ramirez. Absent was member Jeff Wagner. Also present was Jodie
Zinna to help facilitate the meeting, which was being held virtually. Mansfield Cable Access
streamed the meeting, which was called to order at 4:36 PM.
Randy read the required statement about the meeting being broadcast on Mansfield Cable
Access.
Randy brought up potential reorganization of the board and asked which meeting would be the
best to reorganize. Lou suggested the board would be fine to continue, although one of the
non -officers may want to jump into one of those roles. Sean then mentioned his term was
ending in December, so the Secretary role would be open. Lee Ann then requested some
assistance with learning a little more about her responsibilities as Treasurer, although she was
willing to continue in that role. Lou was also confused by the Treasurer responsibilities a little
bit, particularly by the tax returns. Randy asked Alberto if he would be interested in the role of
Secretary and Alberto was not sure, but would think about it.
The Board tentatively scheduled the next meeting for 12/17/2020 at 4:30 PM and the following
meeting for 1/21/2021 at 4:30.
Lee Ann provided the Treasurer's Report, with the most recent number she had available as
$455,455.63. Lee Ann asked where we gained money and Randy said we get money from the
affordable housing exemptions. Lou added we also get interest on the amount. He also
mentioned the system changed in March 2020, so the reports are different.
Lee Ann mentioned the taxes needed to be paid, which Lou said required a vote. Lee Ann said
she would forward the email from the accountant to the board and a motion was made to
allow the return to be filed. Lou made the motion, Lee Ann seconded, all affirmatively voted
Yes. Lou then made a motion to approve the amount required to pay the taxes. Sean seconded
and all affirmatively voted Yes.
The Board then discussed the Minutes from the July 2020 meeting. They were reviewed and no
changes were proposed. Sean moved that they be accepted, Lou seconded. All affirmatively
voted Yes.
The Board discussed again what properties could be worthwhile investments and projects. Lee
Ann mentioned the Columbine area and said we should perhaps ask for a meeting with the
Town Manager. Lou said it would be virtual, but it could work. Randy said he would reach out
for the 12/17/2020 meeting. Randy said that Jeff had said he would look into the properties on
Columbine for pricing, but we had never heard back. Lee Ann suggested that starting with the
Town Manager was a good idea because he might know more than we would, which Lou
agreed with.
For New Business, Lou mentioned we needed to submit a write up for the Town Meeting book.
Randy said he would write one up and send it over.
Sean then made a motion to adjourn the meeting and Randy seconded it. All affirmatively
voted Yes and the meeting ended at 5:27 PM.
The Board discussed a few different dates for the next meeting. Lou moved for adjournment,
seconded by Sean. Passed unanimously at 7:04 PM.
Respectfully submitted,
Sean Gramme[, Secretary
