Conservation Commission Chairman John Dabuliewicz met with the Selectmen asking for support toward two land acquisitions.

The Commission has voted to expend up to $10,000.00 for appraisal fees and Forest Society working expenses. Selectman Cook made the motion that the Town of Warner accepts the executory interest in Wiggin Family Trust easement. Selectman Hartman seconded the motion. The motion passed. The second is the propose purchase of the George land that is in the Bear Pond watershed. It is a 31-acre parcel that links the Chase easement and the Contoocook Village Water Precinct easement land. The Contoocook Village Water Precinct has sent a letter of commitment asking the voters of Contoocook to purchase this land from the Warner Conservation Commission with an easement. The Commission is looking to see if the selling price can be placed in the Conservation Commission fund rather than the general revenue. Selectman Cook made the motion that the Board of Selectmen supports the Conservation Commissions effort to purchase the George property. Selectman Hartman seconded the motion. The motion passed. A public hearing will be scheduled for the expenditure of money from the Conservation Commission fund.
