SELECTMEN'S MEETING
IllFebruary 19, 1970
A special meeting of the Board of Selectmen was held in the
Selectmen' s Room, Town Office Building, on Thursday morning,
February 19, 1970, at 8 30 A.M Chairman Cataldo, Messrs. Kenney,
Greeley and Bailey were present. Mr Legro, Town Counsel , Mr.
O'Connell , Special Assistant to the Board, Mrs. McCurdy, Execu-
tive Clerk, were also present
Mr. Legro said that there was no reason for not exercising the
option on the area Realty Trust land, which is the small isolated
parcel qn Hayden Avenue and to be acquired for Conservation pur-
poses It is advisable to exercise this option and not let it go
by the Bloard.
Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to exercise
the option on the Area Realty Trust land on Hayden Avenue
Mr. Legro said that Norman Richards represents Valleyfield
Trust and he had talked with him yesterday Mr. Richards had brought
in a plan and said they were agreeable to March 20; it is cafe enough
not to ekercise that option In that connection, it was estimated
that Valleyfield was 25 acres; the plan shows it to be 27 9445 acres,
which means a difference of almost $4,000 It will mean a deficit in
the appropriation, which means this one could not be exercised. If
Conservation wants to do it and if they have the funds, they can
properlyl use the funds to make up the deficit The appropriation was
$52,000 and I am basing my estimate on the assumption that no money
has been spent.
The Chairman said that we should check the appropriation and Area
check Conservation funds, and if Conservation would be agreeable, to Realty
extending the balance, we have no Article Trust
Mr. Legro said that it doesn't include acquisition for Conserva-
tion purposes.
The Chairman said that our Article will not carry it, to pur-
chase it was stricken
Mr Legro said he didn't think you would have any right to use
funds voted by the Board of Selectmen
The Chairman asked if we could ask for a transfer from their
funds?
Mr.l Legro asked, you mean after Town Meeting? I presume you
could
Thel Chairman asked what do we need to exercise the options? It
ought td be resolved.
Mr. Legro said that the most important thing is the location of
that sewer. He showed a small plan of the area and the Board dis-
cussed the location of the sewer Mr Legro said that Mr. Crawford
is in Florida and his attorney didn't want to discuss it These
1
option extensions all run to March 20th He had asked Mr. Fish to
supply a plan and it calls for it to be delivered after the sign-
ing of the option, they have a Land Court plan to start with.
Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to adjourn
at 9 20 A" .M
