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.
