Land Acquisition
Conservation Commission Chairman Joyce Miller and member Phil Hamilton reviewed plans for
a Warrant Article at the 1999 Annual Town Meeting. They would like to proceed with a request
for a bond authorization that would allow the Conservation Commission to negotiate with land
owners for parcels of land designated in the Land Acquisition Planning Committee Report of
April 1996 The Conservation Commission would come back to Town Meeting for approval to
purchase specific properties as the opportunity arises The Commission estimates they would
like to ask for a$2 million bond authorization.
Mrs. Miller reviewed the pieces of property they are interested in acquiring based on a priority
list in the Land Acquisition Report.
Board members felt it makes sense to put an article in the warrant that authorizes the funding
with the condition that they would come back to Town Meeting for approval on a particular
parcel. The Commission does not anticipate borrowing becoming necessary until the year 2002
Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to adjourn at 10.20 p.m
A true record, Attest:
