Members Present: Rich Haslip, John Crouch, John Laskey, Sue Ellis, Jack Quinn, Fred Huntress and Larry Moreau. Dana Lee absent with notification.
John C. motion to approve minutes of 3-9-2011, Fred seconded. Vote unanimous.
Reminder of joint meeting with Selectboard on May 17th to discuss wording of conservation easement.
John C. contacted Rob Levin of Land Conservation Legal Services who had a written letter that John then presented to the Commission which explained Levin's fees and services. Selectboard will have to review it. It was determined that any attorney hired would be working for the "Town" not the Conservation C. Members still felt that ATV's will be the issue in the easement.
Rich said he would like to see the Bragdon Hill settled before the Commission looks at any other properties.
Brief discussion about Blackcat. Rich said he will contact Lee Adams to see if he will attend the meeting of 5-11. Rich said we should have a joint meeting with Raymond, to see what their interests are.
Talk about a site walk on the Mingo lot. No date set.
Sue said she would contact Scott Segal regarding trails on Bragdon hill. She was also going to contact the High School.
Rich suggested we hold another information forum in September to explain the easement. Mention was made to have Bob Chute speak. Have NEFF produce a brochure with information.
