Presentations/Discussions
Review ATM Warrant Draft and Omnibus Budget -- Young explained changes
made to the draft warrant since the last meeting. He noted that the
Buildings and Energy Committee has proposed an additional warrant
article for $10,000.00 to hire a building system analyst/energy auditor
for the Warwick Community School. This item did not yet appear on the
draft warrant, and the funding source would be Capital Stabilization.
Young said that the amount requested in Article 6 was being doubled, to
$10,000.00. In speaking about Article 8, he said that while the PVRS
budget would be level funded, the Town's share would increase due to
increased Warwick student enrollment. In discussing Article 11, Young
noted that if an enterprise fund shows a deficit at the end of a fiscal
year, free cash will decrease by that same amount. He spoke in favor of
Article 12, saying that this would eliminate the use of a heavy truck
for work for which a light truck is sufficient. Placing debt exclusion
to a vote on the ballot for the May 17 annual Town election for the WCS
sprinkler system and the Highway one-ton truck with dump body was
mentioned. The Omnibus budget was reviewed line by line, with changes
discussed and sources of funding identified. Young said he will schedule
a joint meeting of the Finance Committee and the Selectboard on April 20
in hopes that the Board and Fin Comm will jointly be recommending the
warrant.

2.   Selectboard Reports-- Lemon announced that the NRC (Nuclear
regulatory Commission) meeting has changed to April 12 at the Ramada Inn
on Putney Road in Brattleboro. Young said that the meeting will be a
nine hour long open house format.

3. Coordinator Report - Young said that the Fire Department intends to
sell as surplus the 1980's Ford pumper/tanker. Fire Chief Lambert
thinks it was purchased by the Fireman's Association, and it is
unclear how the vehicle is titled.
Lemon MOVED that the Town declare surplus the Town's interest, if any,
in Warwick Fire Department Ford pumper/tanker truck and assign
disposition to the Warwick Fireman's Association who originally paid for
it. This action is taken in case the vehicle is titled in the name of
the Town. The Association is delegated to trade the truck, sell it and
retain the proceeds, or gift the vehicle to another municipal or not for
profit entity. Abbott SECONDED. Motion carried by a vote of 3-0-0.

Fuel bids were submitted to the FRCOG for diesel and fuel oil. Young was
looking for a Selectboard vote authorizing him to enter into the FRCOG
contract at his discretion.

Abbott MOVED that the Town Coordinator, in his capacity as procurement
officer, be authorized to appoint FRCOG to contract on our behalf in
cooperative bidding for fuel oil and diesel bids for FY 11 and further,
that he be authorized to enter into a fixed price contract on behalf of
the Town at his discretion. Lemon SECONDED. Motion carried by a vote of
3-0-0.

Lemon MOVED to authorize Tim Kilhart or David Young to submit a
$42,000.00 Chapter 90 Project request for the Hockanum Road project and
crumb rubber application. Abbott SECONDED. Motion carried by a vote of
3-0-0

4. New and Other Business - None.

downstairs, where the seating arrangement is both more comfortable and
spacious.
