Coordinator Report
September 1, 2011

Mt Grace Land Conservation Trust will be back seeking an agreement in
principle on the Town holding the conservation restriction (CR) on the
Ralph Jay project in north Warwick. This looks like a good project and I
recommend pursuing the matter. Mary Williamson has provided additional
documentation which is in the board meeting package.

Chief Shoemaker attended the meeting / presentation on E 911 dispatch
study / options. He will report at the meeting. My understanding is that
we currently pay nothing for the State Police to dispatch our public
safety and any of the proposed changes will cost us money, probably
$10,000 a year to start. Chief would like the board to appoint an
additional officer. Finally, we got some correspondence regarding multi
agency mutual aid. While we have done this in many fashions, I think it
makes sense to adopt this broader agreement.

Nick requested an agenda item on zoning enforcement. A renewed promise
by Attorney Black is that the application for a special permit for the
Tully Brook properties he represents will be in our hands by this
meeting date. Nothing has been received to date. Mr. Delorey, building
inspector, is not able to attend this Tuesday meeting. I will schedule
this again in two weeks for your review until this is resolved. I
provided maps and property record cards to the tree house owner. The
Severance matter is being reviewed by the court on 16 Sept. I plan to
mediate this one last time, underscore that they may not live there, and
that we intend to enforce the building code and zoning up to and
including demolition if they do not comply.

The Cemetery Commission now consists of Miguel Torres, chair and George
Roaf, secretary. The Commission requests that the Selectboard appoint
Mr. Torres burial agent.


The accountant has signed off on the recent Chapter 90 crumb rubber
sealing work. The paperwork now needs the Selectboard signatures and we
can submit for reimbursement. The Solid Waste District dunned us on five
transfer station invoices dated 6/30 that total $2,610.94 and were not
paid. I explained that the Board of Health administers this and if not
paid by 7/15 we would have to place this on the upcoming special town
meeting warrant. I have done so. I also initiated a conversation with
Chairman Whipple regarding the Board of Health's continued interest in
being Commissioners of the "dump". She will place it on the next agenda
and did not seem overly interested in giving up this responsibility
especially were it to add to Selectboard responsibilities. If the Town
Meeting were to make a change I propose an elected Board of
Commissioners. The BOH is very politically sensitive and while
responsive to my managerial calls for change, are ponderously slow to
act, all things that I must admit that I am not.

I hired Michael Mankowsky, who is a firefighter, to help me get the
generator started at WCS prior to Irene's arrival. I am seeking a C 268
Section 20d exemption on that work which totaled $80.

The Fireman's Association is meeting 6 Sept. at 7 pm to discuss their
plans on a new station. I hope to addend and posted it as a public
meeting in case we need to do so.

A copy of the Flood Plain By-law with track changes is attached and is
being provided to folks at the Library and Clerks office to provide
context. The STM warrant will only show the deletions and additions.
Nick is working on the precise language. The draft of the Warrant
provided in Article 2 amounts to a "place holder".
