Chair Lynn Dorman O'Connell reported on ongoing storm cleanup at the recently acquired town property and the committee's discussion of forming an independent "Friends of Open Space" group modeled after the "Friends of Snow Library." Select Board liaison Andrea Reed cautioned that any such group must operate independently, address liability concerns, and align with the Orleans Comprehensive Plan. The committee voted unanimously to approve minutes from January 21 and February 16.
