AUDIENCE OF CITIZENS
Andy Wilcox of RROFE ( Responsible Residents of Planet Earth )
spoke for a few minutes regarding this recently formed group.
He then asked if anyone from the Conservation Commission
would be interested in acting as an advisor to RROPE. He
explained that they have many projects they are anxious to
accomplish, for example: removing the old appliances and
tires at Sage Fark and getting garbage picked up around a
local grocery store.
Jean Perry Phillips suggested that they contact the
Department of Public Works regarding the Sage Park problem.
Other members gave other ideas and contacts that could be of
assistance.
NATURAL RESOURCE INVENTORY
Nancy Ferlow briefly explained the role of Kingsmark. She
explained that their scope is usually limited to a smaller
area than town wide. She said they would be happy to help in
ways that they are able.
Jean Perry Phillips suggested that perhaps they could limit
the need for Kingsmark assistance to only area watersheds or
Kingsmark could work in an advisory capacity.
Ms. Ferlow was open to these suggestions and gave ideas to
the group on where infprmation could be obtained for other
parts of the natural resource inventory.
RECYCLING
Dick Schmidt brought the members up to date on what was
happening on the citizens advisory board 's past two meetings.

RECYCLING
Dick said that it would cost the town $150 to have a logo
printed on the recycling pails. Dick will find out when the
deadline for having a logo put on the pail is.
Jean Perry Phillips will ask for authority to allow RROPE to
have a contest in the schools stating that the winning logo
will be put on the recycling pails.
Jean passed around a letter she wrote ( drafted by Fat Watson )
to the Superintendent of Schools asking that a pilot
recycling program be implemented in the schools.
All members agreed that the letter was excellent.
Dave Howe asked about the cost of having mailings sent to
each house regarding recycling versus sending the information
home with the school children. Dave will contact Gary
Clinton regarding mailing costs.
Jean then spoke to the commission members regarding Gary
Clinton's request for the upcoming budget. Monies were
discussed and figures were then noted by Jean. Jean will
return the form to Mr. Clinton.
STATUS OF 180, 000
Escrow fund belongs to park and recreation who has made the
verbal agreement that these funds would be used in East
Berlin.
ICE POND LANE
Fond is currently owned by Raymond Decormier who has been
ordered to repair the dam or take it down.
If the town was to buy the dam, the state would pay for 1/3
of the repair costs.
Commission members agreed that this is not an issue for the
Conservation Commission at this time.
