Page 1 TOWN OF MANSFIELD MASTER PLAN ADVISORY COUNCIL MINUTES OF MEETING Old Business (cont) The Council discussed the differences in population projections made by a variety of sources, and the information available from earlier reports and studies of town committees and departments. Based on discussion of the effectiveness of previous town master plans, the Council discussed including in this Master Plan certain "trigger points" based on increasing population, i.e., when the population reaches certain levels certain actions must be taken in regard to town departments, resources, etc. Mr. Broderick made a motion that the Council express to IEP Inc. that it wishes them to include as part of their study a proposed outline of actions that need to occur that are tied into population growth as opposed to actions which would occur on the basis of specific dates. Mr. Willis seconded the motion, and it passed by unanimous vote. Mr. Callinan distributed the Henderson Group Commercial Survey Forms, and the Council discussed procedures for completing these forms. It was decided that they should be completed and returned by November 5, 1986.
