The board conducted a meeting to review parcels that the town is considering for transfer to the land trust for conservation. A significant portion of the discussion focused on the Tibbetts Road property, regarding whether a portion of the land should be reserved for potential future housing developments. The board deliberated on the scope of their charge, emphasizing that their role is primarily to assess the conservation value of the properties rather than evaluate potential development uses, which fall under different town processes. The meeting also included an update on a national land conference and discussions on public engagement and the process for reviewing and recommending properties to the town council.

Town Council Workshop Meeting
The town council held a workshop to discuss a proposal for a regional revenue-sharing countywide option sales tax as a means to alleviate property tax burdens. The discussion explored the potential of adding a 1% tax on sales, lodging, and hospitality to fund municipal services, with a specific focus on a collaborative distribution model where a portion of the revenue remains with the municipality of origin and a portion is pooled regionally at the county level. The council examined the mechanics of the proposal, including the inclusion of caps and floors to ensure equitable distribution, and acknowledged the need for further dialogue with stakeholders in the hospitality industry.
