To the editor,

In state statute Sec. 7-131a, it is not a mandated requirement that authority for supervising passive open space must be transferred to a conservation commission, as stated in the letter to the editor “Conservation Commission should oversee open space,” which was published July 21. The word the statute uses is “may.”
