Coordinator report

December 8, 2011

Since 26th Dec is observed Christmas holiday we will meet on Tuesday
Dec. 27th.

We have an opportunity to become part of a solar electric project which
will lower our costs by 25 - 30 percent. The project representative will
attend the meeting to answer questions. He is on agenda early as he is
due at Athol TM later in the evening.

Agreement with FD on compensation is currently that folks attend at
least half of training and answer half the calls. The chief wants to
propose some changes which will be even more equitable and remain within
the budget.

Police appointments run out in end of Dec and chief will propose renewal
appointments. There will be a few deletions. He will communicate
directly via email.

I corresponded with Sheriff on dog officer program and we should sign an
amended MOU to participate.

Housing Authority has a situation that needs our attention to resolve.
It involves terms of a rehab loan. See the attached e-mail.

Highway department has old highway signs to declare surplus which I will
auction with proceeds to the general fund with your approval. We also
have a few obsolete pcs that we need to get off the books.

Mr Whipple's annual class II and III license renewals are pending and
require approval and signature.

Building and energy committee has nominated Matt Sheldon to its vacancy.
He will attend so you may be introduced.

I have been speaking with chief Shoemaker regarding patrols and the
budget is tight. I would like the board to support taking a reserve fund
request forward to pay for more patrols to especially enforce speed
limits.

I ran a FY13 proforma budget which is included in the package and
assumes 2.5% salary / wage increases. Pay no attention to the final two
columns re changes as they are not correct. This will give us a general
overview and we can discuss the budget process.
