Dr. Howard Kassler, Chairman, and Mrs. Angela Frick, Conservation Commission, met with the Board to discuss Conservation Articles for the 1974 Annual Town Meeting. Chairman Kenney: You have submitted sixteen articles including a stabilization article for $300,000. This year, we have tried to get our Capital Budgets done early. The Town Manager met with you and we were carrying something like $100,000 on land acquisition. The budget was submitted to Capital Expenditures and Appropriations Committees and we are trying to relate this to Town Meeting. Now, we have a com- mittee coming in with these requests. Dr. Kassler: Everything you say is right, except that you mis- interpreted the whole intent. The Town Manager and the Selectmen are aware that we were talking about a million dollar bond issue. Someone -from the Appropriation Committee mentioned that another approach might be a stabilization fund for future land acquisitions. We didn't have enough time to work on which approach would be successful; and both articles went in. We hoped:to work out an approach on land acquisi- tion rather than have it a sporadic thing from year to year. Even if we came in with no specific land this year, at least we thought it was clear to everybody that we wanted to set $300,000 aside this year. " Chairman Kenney: Why didn't you tell us and we would grind it in. Dr. Kassler: 1 sat down early with Mr. O'Connell and discussed it; also, with the Appropriation Committee, although not in much detail. Conservation Articles
