Coordinator report

March 3, 2011

The next step in making National Flood Insurance available to affected
Warwick property owners is for the Selectboard to vote a resolution for
application to the Program. The one before you is based on the "sample
resolution" provided by Department of Conservation and Recreation.

I am seeking approval of a C 268A S 20D conflict of interest approval
for Bruce Kilhart as temporary highway employee so he can fill in for
snow removal should we require help in late March while Tim is absent
for some surgery. As in the past a Selectboard member or Town
coordinator would sign off on payroll. Somebody reported this past
practice to SEC which resulted in no finding.

We are at 80% expended on snow and ice budget so I recommend the board
vote to authorize snow and ice deficit spending under Chapter 44 Section
31D. If the weather cooperates we might not go under water on this line.
We should authorize it so snow can be cleared in case we do expend the
appropriation.

DHCD monitored Warwick CDBG program income. There were no findings. I
will schedule a meeting with HRA and the Selectboard to review the
"book" they put together for our account.

Members of the Roadside Wood Committee in addition to Town Coordinator,
Highway Superintendent and Tree Warden are:  Linda Perkins, Michael
Mankowski, Jim Toth, Kevin Alden, Lorne Petraine. Organizing meeting is
Thursday March 10 at 6 pm.

The surplus backhoe has been shipped to Whately MA and $10,000 received
into the general fund.

Fire chief Lambert is out of town for our next meeting. He will meet
with the board on March 21 to update on Fireman's Association plans.

Included in the board packet are copies of Town Meeting votes from 2001
and 2005 authorizing the demolition of the old school by the Fire Chief;
a copy of the Unibank debt instrument retired in the previous warrant
cycle; letter from MassPIRG regarding the bottle bill; HCOG letter that
accompanied our $155 rebate check; a clearance letter from State Ethics
Commission, a letter from Hampshire COG regarding aggregating their coop
electrical program to residents and businesses, and the CDBG monitoring
report.
