An opinion from the Town Attorney is being obtained re- garding whether or not a Senior Citizens' Center can be located in Stanley Park according to present deed restrictions. The Committee recommends (1) that the Town provide a site for the center and (2) that the Town appropriate $3,500 for requests 1) through 9) provided that there are available funds in the 1979 budget and upon the condi- tion that the Senior Citizens provide evidence of being financially capable to complete the proposed project. 1979 MUSEUM BUDGET REQUEST: Elaine Hostmark appeared supporting the Museum request of $9,650 for operating expenses in 1979. This is in addition to the capital im- provement request of $52,500 presented by Bill McCreery at the September 12th Board meeting.
