Minutes of the previous meeting were read and accepted.
Susan presented the letter that was mailed to all register of voters regarding the new polling location.
The Board of Selectmen unanimously appointed Jen Clark as an Election Worker.
Received a letter from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, acting through its Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR), has under consideration the acquisition of approximately 1+/- 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 agreed to shorten the 120 day notice requirement.
A bid of $1,600 was accepted for the construction of a cabinet to be located at Public Safety Complex.
Steven met with Jeff LaCasse from LaCasse Management to discuss and get suggestions regarding the Public Safety Complex landscaping.
Meeting adjourned at 6:30PM
Respectfully submitted,
Margaret McClellan
