Council's CPA workshop next week With snowcancelinglastweek'scouncilmeeting,the planned discussion on the community preservation act was moved ahead to next week's meeting, along with everything else on the agenda. The CPA is the surtax program that replaced the Cape Cod Land Bank, opening up spending for historic preserva- tion and housing, along with open space. The law requires a minimum of 10 percent of the collected funds to be spent on each of the three areas, but leaves open what happens with the remaining 70 percent. The Community Preservation Committee was appointed last year and has been receiving requests for funding. Just how the committee will filter through those requests will be a primary topic of discussion, as will coordination with the council on projects. Also moved ahead from the canceled meeting were the presentation of a recently awarded $75,000 county Economic Development Council grant, acceptance of a $30,000 John & Abigail Adams grant from the Massachusetts Cultural Council, and an appropriation request from the solid waste reserve account to continue the seven-day opening of the transfer station.
