Old Business

Town-owned Lots Consolidation Project Update: The Board of Selectmen asked for a letter outlining why we wish to have this property designated a town forest. They were then sent one. It will now be put on their agenda for discussion. As either the BOS or the PCC may need to hold a public hearing on the matter, we expect to finalize this in 2016.

New Business

Kimball Easement Inspection Plan. In the past the PCC has carried out an inspection plan on a Kimball Easement property. The easement does not appear to have been placed under stewardship and recorded. We will pursue the matter to find out what obligation the PCC has, if any, with regard to this property.

Bear Paw Update. Its annual meeting is January 24 at the Hooksett Library. The Boy Scout project has been completed. Graylag and the George Batchelder properties are now on the agenda.

Adjournment. 8:15 PM.

The next meeting: February 26, 2015.
