NEW BUSINESS
HOC Appointment Linda mentioned that she was unable to determine whether Dawn Hill will keep the HOC
appointment to the crc, but she will pursue the issue and let the crc know the HOC's intent.
Letter from the Board of Selectmen. The committee re-read a letter from the Board of Selectmen that asked for an
extension of their funds into FY '05. The committee looked over their original proposal and discussed whether it
would be appropriate to roll their funds into the next fiscal year.
epe Minutes, June 30, 2004--Pagel
Barry mentioned that the project they mention in the letter (the 2 Fairgrounds Road property) still needs to go before
the Board of Selectmen. This means that the money may be sitting out there for a long time if they plan to spend it on
this.
Frank noted that the Board of Selectmen were going to set up two committees to discuss how to deal with the 2
Fairgrounds Road property.
Ken mentioned that their original proposal states that the money will be used for housing projects on "previously
dedicated town land." Two Fairgrounds Road is not yet owned by the town.
After further discussion, and upon a motion made by Ken and 2nd by linda, it was unanimously VOTED to write a
letter to the BOS, giving them two choices:
1) They may apply for FY '06 ePA funds (the RFP for which is now available) to pursue the 2 Fairgrounds Road
property, if it becomes town land in the future, OR
2) They may use your FY '04 funds to work on another town ownedproperty, if they can identify such property
by July 15th, the date of the next CPC meeting.
Habitat for Humanity Request for Funds. Ken reported that indeed the Habitat for Humanity proposal clearly stated
that their FY '04 money would be used toward the second house they were building.
CPC Member Term Renewals. It was agreed that Stephanie will use the template letter to request that both the land
Bank and the Conservation Commission formally re-appoint their respective members to the cpc.
Public Notice of RFP and Annual Meeting. Stephanie passed out drafts of the Public Notices for the FY '06 Funding
RFP and for the Annual Meeting in August. It was agreed that Stephanie will submit the Public Notice for the RFP
now and await a final date on the Annual Meeting before posting that notice in the paper. She will first check with
the High School to see if the committee can use the lGI room. When the room is secured and the date determined,
Stephanie will advertise the notice in both papers on July 29th and August 5th.
It was also decided to submit a press release about the meeting (and the CPC's accomplishments in general) to both
papers. Stephanie will draft this and get feedback from Rich.
There being no other business, and upon a motion made by Ken and seconded by Linda, it was unanimously
VOTED adjourn the meeting at 4:20 PM.
