<br /> Liaison Reports/Selectmen's Comments
<br /> Dan Ensminger noted that RMLD raises for management will be in a 2.16% to 4.86% range.
<br /> There are 12 managers. The RMLD has not formerly voted to sell the 25 Haven Street property
<br /> in order to keep the insurance in the RMLD account. The RMLD has filled the MIS position
<br /> vacancy so they can move forward with the GIS System. The GIS system will be on or over a
<br /> P.C. with server. Dick Murch is the contact person: He received a call from a resident indicating
<br /> a need for additional handicap parking spaces.
<br /> Camille Anthony reported that the Ipswich River Watershed Association meeting is February 22,
<br /> 1996, and it will be attended by herself and Water Department representatives. Community Day
<br /> is an Open Space day and needs a group to get it going. She attended the Healthy Communities
<br /> meeting and the small group is going to meet three times. Peg Plansky from the Housing
<br /> Authority brought forth some ideas. Each participant needs five names of people to attend the
<br /> next meeting. The first week in April is Health Week.
<br /> George Hines noted that the Board of Selectmen had attended budget meetings, two Selectmen's
<br /> meetings, a joint Board of Selectmen/Fincom/School Committee meeting. He acknowledged the
<br /> superb accomplishment of the Girl's Track Team in winning the State Relay Meet.
<br /> Sally Hoyt attended the Middlesex County Advisory Board Legislative Committee meeting which
<br /> is working a County Charter. There also is a Bill being put forward by the Weld Administration
<br /> to eliminate county government. A copy of the proposed County Charter is going to each town.
