Moe moved to send a letter to the elementary school.  Discussion took place regarding informing them it is the #1 site and the deed restrictions have expired.   What, if any objections do you have so we can work with you to alleviate your fears.  If the town decides on that generalized site, we would like to be sure it doesn’t impact your plan for a soccer field or other plans.  Moe suggested notifying the elementary school about when our meetings are and invite them to address their concerns. After discussion among Board members, it was decided to ask Rex if he has notified the school and not send the letter.  
Moe withdrew his motion  Moe stated if Wellfleet by the Sea is looked at more seriously, a survey needs to be done.
