Bills &Minutes:
The Committee received a bill from DLA Piper in the amount of $5000 for legal services for the Spring Hill appeal. The Committee had voted at a previous meeting to set aside $4000 for this service. Bob mentioned that when he hired Greg Bialecki at DLA Piper, he was under the impression that Greg would do the work at a reduced cost. The general feeling was that although the $5000 was probably a fair amount, the Committee would like to know where the “discount” was applied – was the hourly fee less than usual or was the number of hours worked actually more than what was reported. Action Item: Bob will contact Greg and ask how the work was discounted. VOTE: Kathy made a motion to pay the bill, Laura seconded and approval was unanimous. Action Item: Deb will submit the bill for payment but wait until Bob has an answer from Greg to mail it.
VOTE: Laura moved to accept the minutes from September 25, 2006 as amended, Kathy seconded, and approval was unanimous.

Laura cautioned that CPA funds could only be used to purchase a tank large enough for the Town Hall and other historic buildings, and the difference in price would need to be paid from other funds. Action Item: Deb will email Liz and ask her to request 2 quotes for the different tank sizes.
