Mr. Goerner advised the event is being sponsored by Dan Wheeler/Stanley Village Shopping Center. The Town approved the request last year and expended approximately $350.00 in use of the dump truck, loader and water truck. Discussion followed concerning the event being held on private property which would increase the Town's exposure, and conducting the "wheeled" event at the shopping center and the snow track in the Chamber of Commerce parking lot. The Committee recommends approval of the request if the event is held on public property. EAST BOUNDARY FENCE/FISH HATCHERY - DISCUSSION: At its meeting held October 16, 1986, the Committee recommended the Town block the two (2) entrance points and relocate a fence identifying the Town's east property line located at the Fish Hatchery. An on -site inspection has determined adjacent property owners are encroaching on the Town's property by use of a private road and cul-de-sac.
