READING OF THE MINUTES OF THE PREVIOUS MEETINGS Minutes of the meetings of June 15, 1965 and June 29, 1965 were approved as read. REVIEW APPLICATIONS FOR ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT Mr. Stannard suggested that the folder of applications and resumes for the position of Administrative Assistant be studied by each selectman at their homes before the next regular meeting, as most of the members felt that they were not familiar enough with the qualifications of the applicants to make a decision at this time. The chairman and all members of the board agreed to this and decided to take the matter up again at the next meeting. SIGN CONTRACT FOR PHASE 111 OF THE SEWERAGE SYSTEM The contract was presented by Mr. Douglas, Town Manager and signed by the Board of Selectmen. PURCHASE OF AUSTIN FIELD Mr. Robert Ashley advised the Board that Fire District #4 was interested in the purchase of this property. He had talked with members of the Advisory Committee and was told that the purchase would have to be passed by all the members of Fire District #4 if it was approved by their Advisory Committee. Mr. D'Acuti, chairman asked Mr. Douglas, Town Manager to check into the expiration date of the Town's option on the Austin property. Also to renew the option as far along as possible if it is expiring shortly, so that the Board of Selectmen would be able to postpone any decision until after the next meeting of Fire District #4. REVIEW EASEMENT DEED FOR DAVIS PROPERTY Mr. Douglas, Town Manager advised the Board of Selectmen that he feels there will be some difficulty in procuring the Davis property. Mr. William Szymanski of Webster-Martin, Inc. and Mr. Douglas were of the opinion that a proposed alternate plan would be much too costly. Mr. Douglas Stuart, Attorney, advised the Board that in his opinion there would be no trouble in having a necessity hearing in order to obtain easement for the Davis property. The Board of Selectmen, Mr. Stuart and Mr. Szymanski went out for a few minutes to inspect the sites of the Davis property and the alternate along Kennedy Drive. Mr. D'Acuti, Chairman asked Mr. Szymanski to recheck the alternate plan so that the Board would know the exact cost of both plans. After further discussion it was decided to table the matter until the next meeting when the alternate plan and the comparative costs of each would be available.

FIRST READING OF CHANGE OF ZONING REQUEST FOR FARMER"S PRODUCTION CREDIT ASSOCIATION Mr. D'Acuti read the ordinance and asked about the zoning adjacent to the Myers property. There may be some corrections in the wording of the ordinance but the reading tonight will not be considered as a first reading. REVIEW OF LAND FILL AREA The Board of Selectmen reviewed the memo submitted by the Town Manager regarding the Town operating their own equipment in this area.
