Discussion ensued with respect to obtaining doggy mitts and signs for the vacant sign posts.
Old & New Business:
Open Space and Management Plan
The OS Plan still needs the maps and a few other things here and there. Katelyn will help Judy in getting it finalized.
Town Web Site
Katelyn said she can get our trail maps and open space plan up on the town website.
1651 Forest
Additional sassafras trees have been planted to replace the ones which did not survive. The supplier of the elm trees has made an offer with respect to additional elm trees which is being considered.
Conservation Commission
The Ocean Beach Project is still before the Conservation Commission. The Ocean Beach proponents still need to find an agency to hold the Conservation restriction and obtain town meeting approval. The Cape Cod Commission approval was appealed to Land Court which will probably be a two year process.
