and the possibility of allowing wastewater and affordable housing land, Mr. Johnson inquired how it <br /> would be considered with the Federal government. Ms. Stone responded that the Tribe was required to <br /> state specific lands in their Application for Land into Trust and the 521 acres would be submitted as a <br /> supplement. Ms. Stone stated that the Tribe would like the Selectmen's Warrant removed or <br /> postponed until May. Ms. Stone further noted that documentation was available to identify who <br /> owned the land that was taken from Native American families, as outlined in the Dawes Act. Ms. <br /> Stone emphasized that the Tribe was seeking a lawful consultation process, requesting that the Tribe be <br /> invited to the table to discuss changes to the Town. Ms, Stone expressed concern about Conservation <br /> parcels that continued to be developed for parks and recreation. There was further discussion <br /> regarding assignment of affordable housing and wastewater lands. The Chair expressed concern that <br /> the process to move forward with affordable housing would be slowed. Mr. Isbitz felt that it could <br /> present an opportunity for affordable housing because land could be authorized to be set aside at any <br /> time. Ms. Stone stated that the Tribe had been waiting since 1870 to have their land returned. <br /> Selectman Liaison <br /> The Chair contacted BOS Chair John Cahalane requesting Selectman Cotton as the Affordable <br /> Housing Committee's Selectman Liaison. It was determined that Selectman O'Hara would remain as <br /> the liaison and the Chair was advised that liaisons were not required to attend meetings. Mr. Johnson <br /> recommended inviting the new Town Manager to attend the next meeting, and all members were in <br /> agreement. <br /> NEW BUSINESS <br /> What Next? <br /> Conversation about Project Timings <br /> EDUCATION/MARKETING <br /> NEWS <br /> CORRESPONDENCE <br /> OTHER BUSINESS <br /> MEETING ADJOURNMENT <br /> The next meeting will be October 5 at 5:30 p.m. <br /> Mr. Isbitz made a motion to adjourn.
