OLD BUSINESS
Marvel Easement Plaque Installation
Dave Allen finished the plaque and delivered it. The Committee owes Dave Allen $225. Dave recommends that it should be put into a bed of crushed gravel 8” larger than the size of the granite stone. He suggests removing any roots, and digging into the solid subsoil about 1 foot deep. Karl and Tom will probably do that. Motion made and approved to pay Dave Allen $225 for the plaque.
Lydia Dodge Patch Cut
A bill was received from Dan Cyr, forester for marking the cut for $480. Motion made and approved to pay Dan Cyr $480.
Johnson Lot Boundary Markers/Right of Way
Dave Allen had previously flagged the boundary and painted a lot of it. Tim Trimbur hopefully finished up the painting. No reaction from abutters regarding the boundary markers. Dave found the physical markers for the boundary in the past w/help from Bob Todd.
Boundary Markers
Discussion ensued about how to mark, and how often one might use boundary markers. Motion made and approved to order 1000 boundary markers of design previously approved by the committee. Dave Allen volunteered to follow-up on ordering the boundary markers.
NEW BUSINESS
Trail Maps
Ed Gilligan from the Conservation Committee joined the meeting briefly to report that they were ready to go to print on the map for the Lydia Dodge Lot Trail. They plan to add it to 1 large map of New Boston and put it into 1 pamphlet. Tom Lazott to be contacted in this regard.
Resignation
