When the meeting resumed, Town Counsel rendered the opinion that Executive Session was not in order in reference to Allen Willis and Bob Chavaree's request. Mr. Willis expressed concern as a taxpayer that the Conservation Commission.was not following legal procedure in adhering-to posted meeting regulations. He has attended every ConCom meeting since filing a notice of intent six weeks ago in reference to Cabot's Pond restoration. He contends that meetingsare being held between the ones posted with action being taken. Also Mr. Willis questioned the procedure of approving funds for the Commission to hire a consultant for another study of the pond which was going to cost $700 when he and Mr. Chavaree had spent several thousands of dollars for the study done by Dr. Carr. Orders of Conditions have not been discussed at any Conservation meetings thus far. Mr. Willis's intent was to inform the Board of the problems and possible illegal actions of the ConCom before the scheduled hearing of April 23. Selectman DeLong directed that Torn Counsel should contact the Chairman of the Conservation Commission to question the propriety of their actions. On a motion by Selectman Levine, seconded by Selectman May, the meeting was * adjourned at 8:20. VOTED 5 -0.
