CONSERVATION BOARD MEETING July 3a' 1980 Present: Pauline F. DeLory, Vice Chairperson Dorothy G. Studley Wayne Tavares The hearing scheduled at 7:30 p.m. with Peter Fdgerly of Wheel House Lane was delayed until after the 8:00 p.m, hearing due to the late arrival of Mr. Edgerly. At 7:30 p.m. Jeannie Thomas, Chet Koblinsky and Frank Homeyer arrived. The following was discussed: Jeannie Thomas: Bruce Fulton was in to see the selectmen today. He is not too happy with the lack of quorum on the Conservation Commission. I have indicated that you have been to the Selectmen a couple of times and that you have made them aware that you have one member that is not attending meetings during the summer which makes a hardship. I can only suggest to you, Pauline, is that the people that have indicated an interest that you should make a recommendation from one of those. Mr. Fulton was recommended as a member of the Conservation Commission by Mr. Benway. Jeannie recommended the name of Edward Norcott, 40 Tracey Lane. Mrs. Howard Pendergast was recommended .by Barbara Sloane before submitting her resignation. Mrs. Elizabeth Sprout was suggested by Dorothy Studley. And Wayne Tavares suggested asking Chet Koblinsky. Compliances Jeannie: George Benway asked town counsel whether or not the Chairman on the Conserva- tion could sign the Compliance agreement. Yes, he, can. Paulinet Singly? Jeannie: Yes. Pauline: But there has to be an on site inspection to see that he has complied with the Order of Conditions. Jeannie: Exactly., But he can sign it. Areas for Grants Jeannie: I met with Don Casano today who is the Grant Writer for the town. He is asking that all town departments list their short-term, medium-term and long-term needs for the town so that he can £lag, them as he know that grants are available. He is suggesting that we up date our recreation and designate our parks, forests or any areas that you feel that should be set aside for recreation. Only in this manner can we acquire grants to obtain more land and to obtain assistance. I have been to the Planning Board and they are more than willing to up date their master plan, which is going to take some time. So we can work with them and I will be more than willing to help if I could.
