Summary

A commission member reported that the Board of Finance believes the Town's projected financial position is not sustainable and suggested the Inland Wetlands/Conservation Commission consider offering input on conservation-related budget priorities at a future meeting.

At the July 27 meeting, Ellery Sinclair told the commission that "it is apparently the feeling among members of the Board of Finance that the current projected financial situation of the Town is not sustainable." He asked whether the Inland Wetlands/Conservation Commission should provide conservation-related input to those concerns. Members were encouraged to consider the possibility and revisit it at a future meeting.

The minutes do not record any formal direction or vote on providing that input; commissioners were asked to think about how conservation priorities might intersect with town budgeting and to bring the topic back for a future discussion. No deadlines or formal assignments were recorded in the minutes.
