The meeting was called to order at 8:08pm by Chairman Bruce Loomis. Also in attendance were Brian Eitzer and Lisa Tavolacci.
Bruce moved to accept the March 12, 2012 minutes. The motion passed and the minutes were accepted.
Bruce shared the minutes from the Planning and Zoning and Inland Wetlands Commissions from March and April.
Bruce spoke with Elizabeth Moore, the Farmland Trust director of projects, and Derrylyn Gorski about what is acceptable as a definition of agricultural land. Bruce discussed that we have a list in the Bethany Plan of Conversation and Development Handbook, but it is not clearly prioritized. One of the issues discussed was the fact that horse farms were not included but cow farms were. The need was to screen our list to develop our priorities on them. Elizabeth Moore was to send the criteria. Bruce felt a decision on the subject was premature until we received the criteria.
A new member who has joined our commission is Schaukat Khan. Mr. Kahn has been appointed by the Board of Selectmen.

PARK AND RECREATION
The budget for Park and Recreation was explained by Janice Howard. Janice indicated that participation in Park & Recreation programs overall is down.
