5.Government Study Committee was present they gave the board a final draft of their report over 60 pages long. board asked if they were going to have a summary sheet to present to the people at the public hearing on the 7th. No they would like the people to read full report. Mark asked about the survey results and why they were not in the report? They felt that the survey was not an integral part of their study. They only received a little over 100 back. Lenny said that is over 100 families or 200 people, which is a good share of the people that attend town meeting. The board felt that the survey results were significant and should have been included in the report. The committee wanted the vote for a change to a town manager form of government to be voted upon in March. The board has a problem with the figures that they have estimated to cover a manager at only twenty thousand more a year. They have not met with the finance committee.

information before voting on this. On a motion by Lenny, 2nd by Tom voted to put the article on the June Warrant after a review by the finance committee. Tom and Lenny voted yes. Mark voted No. He felt March was as good a time. Tom and Lenny felt that the town would have a year to figure the actual cost and if it passed in June 2006. June 2007 would be when the town voted the money to hire a town manager.

7. Reviewed a letter they received from Tom Kennison, with regards to the DEP permit changes requested. He stated that Richard Bean, road commissioner, met with Dale to prior to the removal of the trees that were in the way. Dale stated that Richard told him to remove the trees for the wood. To take brush and stumps to where the town put its debris. Any work that has been done is minimal and has been above the high water line. It has not disturbed the pond or the shore line. The reason the few trees were removed was the time of year, rock was installed over the stump holes, to eliminate all possible erosion and will stabilize prior to any spring runoff. Tom will bring a detailed plan to the board as soon as DEP approves it. What was done was
suggested by DEP and his engineers from Pinkham & Greer in Falmouth
