Council at' the annual town meeting requesting authorization to use the Town-owned property for official functions., up to an unlimited time. As long as this received approval by Town vote; it would take a Town vote to . recind any action taken at this- meeting.

Permission will be granted to the Council to allow work to Proceed prior to town meeting vote. Selectman O' Connell suggested to Mr. Peters to seek parcels Of. Town-awned land from the Assessor. �6office. Perhaps one -parcel, which is not ear-marked by another committee, would meet the requirements the Council is loojr!ing�- .for, and it could be turned over to them.
