Y BOARD OF SELECTMEN Page 15 MINUTES MONDAYt SEPTEMBER 90 1991 Recreation enter We were still in the middle of negotiations. We said to them, they said to us, we said ok, it sounds like a pretty good package* On the 25th when we recieved this, we took it to the Board of Select- men, It took place at the school, the night of the Annual Town Meeting states Selectman Han on. It was his last vote and we said what do you think of these ideas? Do you want us to persue i t, do you want us to go ahead and talk with Field' s Point and see if we can work this stuff out with TownCounsel? And we voted on it 4-1. Andy voted against it, Andy had voted on an - thing against it with concerns. of Field' s Point, He was against any- thing with Field' s Point since the first da.y we discussed the property. So 1t was a. -1 vote that we continue negotiations states Select- man Hanson. It was based on this draft• That is .all! Thats all there was was a, draft! All of a. sudden, this thing is not signed by any- body. ny- od . We had no intentions of signing this thing. This is not the document, If the Town is going to eater in. an agreement with somebody, it is not going to be on the stationary of Field' s Point. It was a draft, but nobody wants to accept that. All I can say is that we were still in the process and when we finalize this thing and Tom Counsel is satisfied that we got a pretty good deal, then we come back to the Board of Selectmen and say here' s what we've cone up with. You told us to persue it and here is our Final product. Do you want it not` If rimy Board has said, it' s fine, we would have turned to the townspeople and said ok, the Board of Selectmen have come to an agreement on this issue. We never got there! I never had the chance. I got hammered into the ground at a. meeting right here states Selectman Hansnn. Everybody jumped up and down over it. Communication from Town Counsel and his concerns about a draft! That is why we are where we are right now. Jerry was concerned and he had every right to be concerned. e have sent over two years. Pizza was the farthest -thing n my rind when starting talking about the Keeter property. All I am saying is that is why we are here. Do I have any new information? If anyone' s been hammered through this it is me and you want to cut sae off. I don' t want to cut you off, I just want to continue states the Chairmana Nobody' s r' worked harder than what I 've been trying to do states Selectman Hanson than Jerry and I and we got chewed off at the knuckles for it. I don' t think it was fair. I think Town Counsel should of taken a stronger stand as to where we were. He knew where we were. So didn' t Kevin. Both of them should of stood up and shouted wait a, minute, this is still the beginning of this, Before they had a. chance to, it was hack, hack, hack, and here we are.
