Selectmen Present: Eric R. Munson, Jr., and Thomas Paine
Also Present: Heather Wilson
Received a letter from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts certifying the Town of Tolland Chapter 90 apportionment for Fiscal 2012 is $164,374.00.
Received a letter from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, acting through its Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR), has under consideration the acquisition of approximately 590+/- acres of land, or other property interest, in the Town of Tolland. The land is currently being used for investment and open space purposes. If acquired by the state, it will retain the property in its natural and open condition as part of the Tolland State Forest.
A regulation requires that an agency proposal to acquire property be made public in a local forum. In complying with this requirement, the state is asking that the Board of Selectmen announce that the Commonwealth is considering this acquisition for the above stated purposes. Also, the Commonwealth is asking that the 120 days notice period be shortened (as allowed under the regulations) so that the Commonwealth, should it proceed, may complete this transaction in a shorter period of time.
The Board of Selectmen granted the 120 days notice be shortened.
Selectboard approved of the 501C3 board attaching their web page to the Tolland’s Fire Department’s page.
Meeting adjourned at 6:00PM
Respectfully submitted,
Margaret McClellan
