Coordinator Report June 21, 2012

Appointment of Transfer Station Commissioners was held until this
meeting as I hadn't been able to secure a third volunteer. Michael
Mankowsky who works for Northfield DPW, and Richard Whiting who has, as
a BOH member, previously served had agreed to be appointed. One of the
other two prospects, David Koester, has agreed to serve. David is
business manager at Michael Humphries Woodworking. All are residents of
Town. The appointments are until the May 2013 election at which time
voters will elect to one, two, and three year terms.  The next hauling
contract is up for approval and analyzing and deciding this is the first
piece of business for this commission.

Last meeting tabled Nick's proposal regarding boards and committees
meeting with the Selectboard. Having accomplished appointments this is a
good time to take the matter up again.

DCR is rewriting the MOA which allows the Town to place broadband
equipment on Mt Grace. I had made an application to amend the agreement
in November of '11 which they changed to an extension. It makes sense
that we be prepared to renew the three corresponding MOA's with our
out-of-town resellers as soon as we have the new agreement. If DCR does
not approve the contract by the first days of July I will be locating
the WiMax equipment intended for the mountain tower on the Town Hall
roof to meet the MBI last mile grant goals on time which calls for
project completion by end of July.

I am looking for clarification and perfection of the vote on policy
regarding fences or structures in the right of way policy. There are
going to be unacceptable attempts to infringe and we will need in some
instances to negotiate and ultimately litigate to protect our rights to
the road right of way and to mitigate against harm to the traveling
public and avoid potential liability by the Town.

Mr. Thomas of Seaboard Solar met with Dawn and me regarding their
proposal to develop 10 megawatts of solar electric generation someplace
in the National Grid / MA territory and contract with Warwick to have
its name on the meter and for the Town to be paid for credits. I have
attached four pages of information to help prepare you for the meeting.
Wendell has executed a contract with this firm and New Salem is in the
process of doing so. A Town Meeting vote is required to contract for
more than three years.
