Public Comments and Questions-Tim Baas, Little League asked about a
revision to Little League listing for Town meeting to read "construction
items" for $300,000. The Board will consider his request. He asked if
the item would definitely go to the Referendum and the Board told him
"yes" to the best of their knowledge. There was also a discussion about
the Town being named an additional insured on Swantown Hill Road
property and if the Little League could sell to someone else for
baseball uses rather than the town.
Pat Lewis asked if the schools use the Seaport land area for
recreational purposes, can PZC authorize spending Open Space money and
she also voiced concerns about the lack of improvements to I-95 in North
Stonington off ramps..
