Approval of Minutes

The minutes of the December 13, 2017 meeting were approved by the Chair and seconded by Sarah Edmonstone, and unanimously approved by the committee as a whole.

New Business

Eagle Lake Dam

The committee body asked why we could not call upon the Board of Selectmen to participate more in the ELC and answer its questions. It was recognized that the need existed to get answers to our questions regarding the Phase II study and areas around ownership of town property. As of this date we continue to wait for a response to these questions.

At 7:14 Dan Marinone texted Bob Lavigne and he responded that he would try to answer our questions on January 4th at about 10:00am to the Chair.

Brian Vitalis motioned to provide information on the committee’s progress and questions on to Kim Fergusson and Harriet Chandler. This was discussed and reviewed the copy of the Dam Report and consideration was given to how an impression could be made regarding Lawyers. Law regarding who owned the land. That land ownership could get very messy regarding Condo Association and Mill Property. Who defines abutter vs property?  It was thought that abutters do not have rights?

The Chair felt that the current outline of the ELC Report was a good outline to work with. Mark Aucoin asked what date the report was due, and that answer was not known, but it was agreed by the entire committee that it had to be found out ASAP.

Public Information Regarding Eagle Lake

It was reported that our Facebook site was very quiet and that there were a need for more “likes” and better usage of the site. It was also discussed that we needed to address how to get letters to the editor of the Landmark to increase public awareness. Our trifold brochure needed to be reviewed in terms of the cost of color copying and what might be the effect if we went to a single page.
