Coordinator Report September 26, 2013

Next week will be busy. Board has regular meeting on Monday which
includes OML, and return visit by Mr. Horn. Tuesday is the meeting with
the PVRS District about Town versus District Capital versus maintenance.
Wednesday is the joint tree hearing.

First item on the Monday agenda is discussion of the use of Gale Rd by a
resident for exercising his draft horses. Please make a site visit in
advance for this purpose and for the Wednesday Oct 2 joint tree hearing.
I sent a letter to the resident asking him to attend the meeting.

The board doesn't usually act on $75 expenditures, however the Solid
Waste District wants a signed MOA for the DEP required annual inspection
of the transfer station. As it is our best and lowest cost option I
request the board execute this agreement.

Cheri Robartes and Doc Pruyne have been nominated to serve on the
Cultural Council by Deb Paulson, chair. Mrs. Lemon has requested they
attend this meeting.

Chief Shoemaker requests that the Selectboard execute the county law
enforcement mutual aid agreement which you've had for review for several
weeks.

At the chair's request I've invited committee and board chairs to a
review of Open Meeting Law based on Attorney McNichol's handouts at a
recent FRCOG seminar. I posted meetings for any board's that might
achieve a quorum for while I invited chairs I suggested they invite
their membership.

Nov. 2nd or 9th, both Saturday's, are options for holding the
recognition event and 250th Medal Awards and dinner. The latter date has
a booking all day for green funerals.  I have reached out to Greg B who
initiated the medal idea to make sure the date works for him and will
have an answer by Monday. 

Area towns set the date and hours for observing Halloween. I suggest the
actual date, Thursday October 31 from 4 p.m. to dark. Recreation is
planning a kids party.

Had some concern expressed that use / rentals of town hall are not
cleaning up after their use to a satisfactory standard.  I am going to
seek an assistant custodian within the budget which is underspent to
assist with this. If it works and the board approves I'll do a real
hiring process.

Mr. Horn has confirmed that he will attend this meeting as a follow-up
to his visit last month when he delivered the report. I told him to
expect a start time of 6:45 to 7 pm as the matter is last on the agenda.
