Coordinator Report  March 14, 2012

Regarding the Jay and Manring conservation restrictions, Mt. Grace has
not yet forwarded a contract for review. I referred the liability matter
regarding the bridge and trail to counsel to which he has issued an
opinion letter. It is attached. He agrees we need to put up signs and
advises we take measures to make the railing better.

Chief Shoemaker omitted Dan Kimball, the DARE officer from earlier
appointments and wants the board to correct that. He will attend the
meeting.  It is time to appoint our Animal Inspector per state
requirements.

We need to discuss whether or not to include the Stretch Code on the
Warrant. I think it will have BEC support this time out and they have it
on their next agenda. If it is sold as a way to get grant money Ted will
oppose it because nothing has happened on the Green Communities
expedited permitting aspect and Nick still opposes that change.

Dawn requested employee evaluations be on the agenda so we can begin to
address this. One suggestion is to start from job description and note
areas that need improvement and recognize strengths. Chief Shoemaker has
provided an evaluation tool for us to use to review him.

Kyle is due before the board to report on status of licensing his pets
which he has done and training collar for which I have no further
information.

Building and energy committee are reaching out to their counterparts in
the member district towns to advance our proposed energy performance
contract for the elementary school. The Superintendent and school
committee are opposed to our proposal.

I request your approval for me to execute the FEMA contracts associated
with the Halloween disaster. Total reimbursement comes to about $18k.

We have an opportunity to seek bids through the FRCOG on an elevator
contract. Will cost us $50. They have saved members on this in the past.

We had our first meeting to develop a disaster mitigation plan with Tim,
Jim, Nick and myself in attendance.

Draft ATM Warrant and budget are attached for your review. Once the
Finance Committee has had its initial meeting I will schedule a joint
meeting with the Selectboard.  Police department met with Fin Com last
week and got provisional recommendation by them of the PD budget.  
Highway, highway truck and Fire are scheduled for Tuesday.  We won't
know if our WCS roof is on the March MSBA agenda until later in the
month. There is perhaps more work to do on the article to change the
status of Tully Brook road.  Our Tech School enrollment is up from seven
to eleven students which raises the assessment to $96,552. The cost per
student is $9,652.

Update on energy matter.  We have the aggregation contract with HCOG
executed and copy in hand. This will lead to our resident's being able
to buy generation from this pool. The Solar buy for Town buildings has
been executed. And on fuel oil, last year we contracted for 4000 gallons
of fuel oil. I am bidding 3600 gallons this year as we will be paying to
store some of the current contracted fuel until next year and I am
trying to bid less than we will use in case a fixed price turns out to
be lower, though unlikely. Our contract is at $3.57 per gallon this
year.

The Selectboard received thanks from a parent for the recognition of
students on the outdoor event board saying they thought it meant more to
their kid than other accolades received.

We have 126 Warwick connections on the broadband system and 27 out-
of-town connections which alone generate $560 in monthly income.  MTC /
MBI contacted me to make sure we will complete the contract by July 30.
We will and I am doing the second phase of procurement now and getting
favorable pricing.

Nancy Lyman has agreed to run for Board of Health. Nancy was formerly
Town Coordinator in Orange and has years of experience in the banking
industry as well.  She holds a B.S. in forestry.
