Open Space Committee: Ken Lombard met with the CC to discuss a possible acquisition of TM 10/55 which abuts the east of the South Branch Conservation Area, and which has been offered to the Town for a fee.

Saunders Pasture: Burr’s “Addendum A” to the management plan was accepted unanimously and is in CC files. R. Noonan did not bush hog the pasture in the fall. Betsey will remind him it can only be done in the fall, not the spring.
Mill Pond: Signs in progress.
