4 R <br /> ARD OF SELECTMEN 'age <br /> ` MINUTES <br /> MO DAY, SEPTEMBER 91 1991 <br /> Recreation Center: <br /> 'Fi eld' s Point in the very b ginning went back to the lard dispute. <br /> Field' s Point of .imed that they owned this Keeter property states <br /> Mr. Caster* There are two parcels of property that everybody has <br /> got to be rade aware of. <br /> One, that there is no question that Field' s Point owns, that the <br /> Town is making ,no claim to and the second parcel that the Town is <br /> making a claim to. At one point there ra.s an issue raised with Town <br /> Counsel and- the Board not wanting, to get Town Counsel. involved* <br /> This was the first time I read his letter in the paper that <br /> -the Board o'f Sole-ctmen didn' t want Town Counsel involved in the <br /> negotiations. That is why Mr. Hanson and, I became involved. <br /> As ray memory ory serves me, it was about 2.5 to 3 years ago and this. <br /> is the only issue I # ll bring up in regards to Mr. Hanson' s a.11egged <br /> conflict of interest. At that time, Wil Hanson never had a pi a- <br /> re stura t in Field' s Point and I don' t even think he was contemplating <br /> resta.rant. <br /> We went down there to figure out what the nature of dispute <br /> was about and how to save this Town money so we didn' t have to litigate <br /> another property claim. In the four years that I was a. Selectman, <br /> that' s all. -I .ever saw was litigating property claims. <br /> With all due respect to Joe Reardon, I think he is a fine Counsel <br /> states Mr. Carter the only person who really benefited from these, <br /> litigations were the lawyers, If I were Palmer and Dodge, then I <br /> would agree with you states lir. Reardon., <br /> The issue at hand was whether or not the Town as I saw it had <br /> el.ea.r d title to this one parcel� f the Keeter property. Again, with <br /> all dine respect to Town Counsel, the fourth or -fifth title problem <br /> that 'came up when I was a. S61ectrrman. At least three of those that the <br /> Board felt that they had any, confidence that they had any legal right <br /> to this property turned out that. we idn' t . or that we settled and the <br /> Town didn' t end up with the property. <br /> With all that in mixed, Mr. Hanson -and 'I - sat down with the principals <br /> f Field' s Point states lir. Carter. It was discussed basically what <br /> to do with -the property. It was either me or Mr. Hanson who carne up <br /> with the idea that maybe we can expand these talks and get something <br /> for the Town immediately, That brought in the Queen of All Saints <br /> Church, <br /> I was upset when I read an article in the Mashpee l essanger indicat- <br /> ing that this Keeter property involved the Queen of All saints Church. <br /> First of all and foremost, the Queen of All Saints Church has nothing <br /> what so eVer to do with the. Keeter property. It is no.t on the Keeter <br /> property states lir. Carter. <br /> It was something we thought- was a quick facility for the time <br /> being to help out the Town. I don' t know in looking. around Town, <br /> what other building would be appropriate for a recreation center than <br /> a, barn uilding that is down on Great Neck South. I'm not talking <br /> about location, Ude never talked about a permanent location, it- is <br /> something that could be of immediate use for little or no money. <br /> L - <br />
