REVIEW MINUTES - of the December 3, 1998 - Minutes were read and accepted unanimously, with the following correction: Strike the Section VIII from the nnnutes. Cr; III. (aRRCYORY MEISTER — REGIONAL WATER CONSERVATION — Greg Meister v i began by discussing different plans to help with conserving water. Everyone agreed it was an important matter that needs further discussion. Suggestions ranged from stricter water bans, step rate increases, working with the planning boards on lot regulations, and educating people. A water conservation workshop is coming up in Ipswich, and Wayne suggested we may want to follow such a format and plan a seminar. It would be important to bring in some people who have knowledge in water conservation to answer questions on sprinkler system and how much watering is needed. An educational seminar and water bans will be further discussed closer to the summer season. IV. SUZANNE ERICKSON — JOHNSON ACRES UPDATE — Suzanne Erickson at this point needs people to speak on behalf of purchasing the land when they approach the board. V. UPDATE ON CREEEN13ELT PROJECT - The G.I.S. information is about 2/3 done. Some data was misplaced regarding Foxboro's information. Once this information is retrieved they will be able to finish up. Hoping for some kind of presentation at the next meeting. Leonard Flynn has a disk and book with source funding information. The information explains how to obtain grants step by step. He has been given permission to copy the book and one set will be passed on to Moe for further viewing. VI.
