Communication
Gary Waugh I received a phone call after the BOE meeting
concerning whether there will be enough space for Technology meeting areas.
Jack Healy Tim Callahan is away but I will get a response
from him when he returns.
Mac Bramley Cynthia Politano informed me that the Board has put in the first
request for reimbursement to the State for monies we have spent to date.
Jack Healy The last meeting Leo Paul said he was going to
the bond counsel regarding the money allocated issue. Joe Fasi told me
that the money we have allocated we can spend as soon as we get State approval
of the project. He told me we should
notify David Wedge if we do allocate that money for fences.
Mac Bramley My understanding is
the property needs a metes and bounds description. If there is a legal description, does the
work that has to get done have to fall within the boundary of that legal
description?
Leo Paul I will call and check on that.
Jack Healy I received a letter from Bill Dranginis with respect to the $75K for the fences.
Jack Healy I received a letter from Leo Paul and David
Wilson [Town Treasurer] regarding the bonding transmittal to BOF for comment
and recommendation.

the Editor regarding the Building Project status.

Plumb Hill Playing Fields
Ed Fabbri At the Inland/Wetland
show cause hearing we had a lot of discussion with commission members. The meeting is continued until next
month. I think we are on the positive
side and erosion control issues have been addressed and we are taking a proactive
stance.
Mac Bramley What is the DEP
involvement?
Ed Fabbri We had a site walk
with a DEP member. An inland/wetlands
board member attended. It was a revisit
to see what measures have been taken and how we addressed issues. She was very pleased to see what we have
done. She told us to keep daily logs and
submit them to the DEP. We not want to
make sure the local commission is happy.
