$11,650 through the Coastal Management Program.

Zipperer reported that we had received a letter from Attorney Nesbitt
indicating that it is unlikely that the Town would be able to obtain
title insurance on this strip of property because of conflicting

a future problem.  Wait will do a title search on the properties
involved and it will be brought back at the December meeting.
