III.       Citizens Leadership Academy

            The Chair advised that she met with Town Administrator Christopher Clark   She said      that he seemed enthusiastic about the project and suggested that it be held on Monday      night.  Department heads regularly attend the Board of Selectmen meeting on that night         so it would not be an issue to make a presentation to the leadership academy.  Ms. Milan   advised that it would not be an issue for some department heads to come another night.              The Chair stated that the Town Administrator advised that it was all right to mention that            the committee has his support regarding the project.  He also suggested utilizing the             services of chef Linda St. Pierre at the Community Center.  Ms. Milan advised that the     project had been brought up at the last department head meeting by the Town   Administrator.

            The next step will be to have Ms. Rys contact the consultants from Barnstable regarding a             Power Point presentation.  The Chair will also contact the Town Administrator again         about coming to the meeting when the consultants will be present.
