Tuesday October 2 - meeting to meet with proponents of proposals to ask for
more information

Tuesday December 4 - last meeting of the year
The committee briefly reviewed the proposals received to date:
2009-01 Paul Marsh request for $1,000 to prepare an explanatory booklet for his conservation easement. The Committee will look to support from the Historical Commission before deciding on this proposal.
2009-02 Housing - Community Based Group Housing - there is need for this kind of housing in Lincoln, which used to exist in the past. With this kind of housing, each bed constitutes an affordable unit for 40B purposes. TILL (Towards Independent Learning & Living) is an organization that is heavily involved in these kinds of projects. No dollar amount is currently proposed for this project.
2009-03 Housing - Affordable Housing Conversion. No dollar amount is currently proposed for this project.
2009-04 Town Archives Stabilization and Expansion Project - $465,097
Peter von Mertens discussed anticipated requests from the Conservation Commission:
1. $38,000 for the conservation fund to get it back to $100,000
2. $75,000 for a pilot project Teen Conservation Corps to protect and preserve conservation land.
The Committee agreed to invite Barbara Myles and Susan Brooks to its next meeting, as well as representatives of the Housing Commission, to discuss in further detail their proposals
There followed a brief discussion of the impending end of the 100% state match, and legislative efforts to provide for a floor on the state match of no less than 75%.
