    Commission Discussion

    Diane met with Mark Rumley and he is working on finalizing the ordinance. We wanted to have

    it done for the July Council meeting, but may not make it. Everyone felt we can move forwardwithout the completion. Diane suggested we meet this summer and have a working dinner

    meeting where we finish some of our hanging work details and meet with Lynn.

    Boston Medical Fellow

    Diane received the poster from Hemaluck Suwatanapongched (Lynn) and she wants to present

    her results to the group. Diane told her that she wants to complete an RFP for a Tisch scholar to

    work on some of these results, so she sent it for review. She can come if we meet in the

    summer. Diane will arrange a time.

    Correspondence & Announcements

    We also need to meet on the Mass Humanities grant. Diane will send an email to determine

    interest.

    Diane read information on two variance issues; Bistro 5 wants to provide access, but cant make

    the slope in the front. He is putting in a variance, but it is incomplete as of yet.
