(Unapproved)
Bruce Loomis called the meeting to
order at 8:07. Also in attendance were Brian Eitzer, Patsy Winer, Cathy Rives
and Matthew Popp. Absent was Shaukat Khan. Bruce appointed Matthew a voting
member in place of Shaukat.
The August
meeting’s minutes were reviewed. Pasty moved to accept them, Cathy seconded.
Corrections: In the first paragraph, Shaukat Kahn should be changed to Shaukat
Khan. In the sixth paragraph, there should be an apostrophe on the word
Commissions. In the eighth paragraph, weather should be changed to whether. In
the final paragraph, Kathy should be changed to Cathy. The minutes passed as
corrected.
There were
no bills for the Conservation Commission. The correspondence included the most
recent edition of The Habitat, and a letter from CACIWC about the upcoming
annual conference and membership renewal. Note: the CC noticed there was a
discrepancy about the date of the CACIWC conference. It is on November 12th,
not 16th. Brian moved that the CC authorize up to $75 to be spent
for membership renewal for CACIWC, Cathy seconded. The motion passed.
Brian
suggested upping the CC’s operating budget request for the coming year to $1000
to cover increased CACIWC costs and the cost of possibly implementing
town-owned recycling frames.

discussed renewing it’s annual request that $100,000 be allotted to the town’s
land acquisition fund. It was also discussed that there be a separate request
for additional money to be allotted to the fund since it was recently tapped.
