Concern was voiced by the Board with regards to <br /> the tight budget for fiscal year 2009. <br /> The Board requested to review estimated available CPC revenues that <br /> would be verified by the Town Accountant at the next meeting in addition <br /> to the debt schedule. <br /> It was noted the Division of Fisheries and Wildlife has expressed interest <br /> in the property and has offered to contribute $500,000 towards the <br /> purchase. However,the DFW contribution would impose a conservation <br /> restriction on the property. Conditions of the CR are not fully known to <br /> date. It was agreed that further information would be obtained with <br /> respect to this regard. <br /> Two additional land purchases, articles submitted by the Conservation <br /> Commission were reviewed. One is a 1.09 acre parcel on Meetinghouse <br /> Road adjacent to existing conservation land owned by the Division of <br /> Fisheries and Wildlife. The second article is proposed to transfer to the <br /> Conservation Commission, 37 small parcels of tax taking land which are <br /> surrounded by or adjacent to the Santuit River. The article was held for <br /> additional review as the Town is presently conducting an assessment of <br /> existing Town owned lands. <br /> The next scheduled warrant meeting is Monday, March 17, 2008. <br />
