IV. Presentations and Discussions
1.   National Flood Insurance Resolution -- Discussion of this issue was
postponed until the next meeting. 
2.  Chapter 268A Section 20D Conflict of Interest Exemptions -- Young
presented the Board with the Disclosure of Financial Interest by Special
Municipal Employee and Approval of Exemption form as required by MGL
268A:20(c) and 20(d). The form was filled out for Police Officer Bruce
Kilhart in the event that a late March snowstorm makes it necessary for
a temporary employee to fill in as a snow plow driver for Highway
Superintendent Tim Kilhart during his recuperation from surgery. Young
explained that the form also discloses the father/son relationship; he
also noted that this type of exemption is only available to employees of
towns with a population of less than 5,000. This is being done only to
meet a particular need and only if absolutely necessary.



Lemon MOVED to declare the position of Highway Employee a special
municipal employee, and to grant Bruce Kilhart a Chapter 268A:20D
conflict-of-interest exemption.  Arguimbau SECONDED. Motion carried by a
vote of 2-0-0.
Both Board members signed the form.
Lemon MOVED to direct the Highway Superintendent to investigate the
possible availability of one or both finalists for the most recent job
opening in the department as temporary employees and grant permission to
hire his father if, and only if, neither man is available. Arguimbau
SECONDED. Motion carried by a vote of 2-0-0.

3.  Chapter 44 Section 31 D Snow and Ice Deficit Authorization --  Young
said that we are 80% expended on the snow and ice budget and recommended
that the Board vote to authorize deficit snow-and-ice spending per MGL
44S:31D. He noted that there is a possibility that deficit spending will
not be needed, but the Board's vote to authorize will allow it to happen
if it becomes necessary.
Lemon MOVED under MGL 44:31D we authorize the Highway Department to go
into deficit spending for snow-and-ice if necessary.  Arguimbau
SECONDED. Motion carried by a vote of 2-0-0.
