From ciolfi at mathworks.com Mon Apr 2 09:56:30 2007 From: ciolfi at mathworks.com (John Ciolfi) Date: Mon, 02 Apr 2007 09:56:30 -0400 Subject: [Fomp] Town Meeting article Message-ID: Hi The Boston Globe had an article yesterday about last week's town meeting. It is nice to see the cleanup of Morses Pond moving forward. Remember to vote in May and spread the news about the value of the cleanup to help reverse the decline of Morses Pond. http://www.morsespond.org/news/2007_0401_boston_globe_town_meeting_results.html You can point people at the Comprehensive Plan for the Management of Morses Pond (Nov 2005): http://www.morsespond.org/studies/comprehensive_plan_for_the_management_of_morses_pond_nov_2005.pdf which details an impressive, finically smart, and well thought out plan for the plan. - John From jbherring at comcast.net Sat Apr 7 05:26:04 2007 From: jbherring at comcast.net (Barry Herring) Date: Sat, 07 Apr 2007 02:26:04 -0700 Subject: [Fomp] Progress report on Morses Pond Message-ID: <461763AC.2080504@comcast.net> Dear Friends: When I last wrote to you in January, the new weed harvester had just been ordered. DPW now tells me that they expect delivery this month, and hope to be harvesting in May. The 2007 Town Meeting has commenced, and the funding articles for Morses Pond are making good progress. So far, TM has approved Article 8, which provides more than $100,000 for running the harvester and other operational activities, and Article 21, which authorizes $650,000 for dredging the north basin of Morses Pond. Article 21, however, still requires voter approval as a "capital debt exclusion" proposition 2 1/2 override. Article 17, which authorizes $153,000 from Community Preservation funds for Morses Pond, is scheduled to come before TM on Monday, April 9. This item has already been approved by the Community Preservation Commission, and was unanimously supported by the Advisory Committee, so we anticipate TM approval. When all of the capital issues have been dealt with by Town Meeting, the Selectmen will bundle them into a single referendum, and schedule a town-wide vote in mid-May. FOMP plans to collaborate with the school parents to form a campaign committee that will advocate for a "yes" vote on the May balloting. When that campaign starts, I will send another email to let you know what to expect and how you can help.

Would you please send out an invitation to all FOMP to watch one of these screenings to be updated on what is planned for MP and how the funding battle is coming along. We will want all their help when it comes to voting for it in about 45 days from now. Best - Arnold -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
