ARTICLE V SELECTION OF ACQUISITIONS A. Sections 1 and 5 of the Ordinance list the purposes of the Trust and the powers of the Trust to obtain land and development rights. B. An annual list of Trust Goals and Objections will be approved by the Trustees in February each year. This list will identify the areas where the Trust will focus its attention in the coming year. C. Also at the February meeting, Trustees will approve a rating process to evaluate potential acquisitions. This process should be based on the Trust purpose and the annual Goals and Objections. It should use a weighting system to provide trustees an analytical tool to rank potential acquisitions and provide evidence the acquisition is in the best interest of the Trust and the Town of Westerly. In addition to accomplishment of Trust purposes and current Goals and Objectives, examples of criteria that might be included in the ranking criteria are: land contiguous to currently protected areas; adherence to the town Comprehensive Plan; potential to retain rural characteristics of the town; available funding; fulfillment of state and county open space objectives; title, access and liability issues; stewardship/maintenance requirements. In using the rating process, it is recognized opportunistic acquisitions and particular site issues may supersede certain criteria in the weighing system. D. Trustees will evaluate all proposed acquisitions in a timely manner. Site visits should be arranged with the land owner and the majority of the Trustees. Professional consultants should be prudently engage to assist in the evaluation of proposed acquisitions. E. Trustees may elect a sub-committee to investigate and/or negotiate the acquisition of a certain parcel or parcels of land or authorize the Chairperson to appoint such a sub-committee. F.
