tentatively scheduled for Monday, May 5.
Mr. Friel asked Mr. Del Vecchio to confirm that the Fields Study Committee Meeting
was tentatively scheduled for Monday, May 5. Mr. Del Vecchio clarified that the
meeting scheduled for Monday was between the Conservation Subcommittee and a
representative of the Fields Study Committee, not the full committee. Next meeting will
be Monday, May 12, 2003.

"top" of the gardens, and that it was a "Saratoga Plan" consistent approach.
