- The minutes of the meeting on August 8, 2022, were approved.
- Robert Clark reviewed the initial properties on which test pits might be dug. He then told us how the possible test pit properties were identified, including a review of the soils map and identified any rights of way and proximity to property boundaries. He also indicated that the next step would be to contact the property owners and seek permission to dig the test pits.
- After some discussion it was agreed to hold off contacting the selectboard until we have further information including the position of the land trust. We also decided to delay any further action until we can establish some talking points and a letter to the landowners has been mailed and confirm the boundaries and owners of the properties, although some members of the committee offered to speak with some of the proposed property owners with whom they felt that they could approach without sending the letter prior to the mailing.
- Robert Clark indicated that sixty per cent of the project has been completed. The next step is for Otter Creek is to outline the estimated costs and alternative septic system set-ups.
- The meeting was adjourned at 5:58 pm
