Minute Man Statue: Steve reported on a meeting with Skip Hayward, Dave Wells and
John Frey at the Minute Man. Two schemes are being reviewed, one being Bob
Ossman's plan the other being a proposal to move the statue back 35' into the

solve circulation problems such as the crosswalks. A meeting, on October 14th at
8:30 am, with town officials present will be open to the public.
Cary Hall: Stacey, Bruce and John have met and have started discussing various ways to
enhance the area. Topo map is needed.
