Madison committee to compile deeds, GIS and facility data for housing trust fund and site assessments
Summary
Committee members agreed to gather deeds, field cards and GIS references for town properties, check easements and deed restrictions, and reconvene after finance staff (Stacy) reviews the draft materials; the exercise is intended to support the housing trust fund assessment and site‑selection work.
After the Pearson School presentation the group shifted to an inventory and process discussion for town properties and the housing trust fund. Committee members agreed that Jane and others would compile deeds, field cards and GIS references, identify missing addresses/map‑lot identifiers and check for easements or deed restrictions in the town clerk records.
A member requested a simple spreadsheet that lists each property, the deed volume/page and which items are missing; staff said some deeds are already in GIS with volume/page references and that the town clerk’s land records are a source for deed texts. The group also discussed which town buildings might be vacated as other facilities move (for example, an academy school conversion could make youth and family services space available), and agreed to coordinate the facilities assessment work with the facilities committee.
Next steps recorded in the meeting: staff will collect deed/field card information, return a consolidated spreadsheet for review and seek finance staff input (referred to in the meeting as Stacy) before bringing a revised package back to the committee for a mid‑November review.
