I.	Call to Order 
Chairwoman Lemon called the Meeting to order at 6:10 p.m. at the Town Hall.
II.	Minutes
Reading of the Minutes was waived and postponed until the May 18 meeting.
III.	Presentations/Discussions
1.	Chapter 90 Funds - Young said that there is $175,000.00 in FY '10
chapter 90 funds available. He recommended submitting a plan for
$100,000 of the funds. An eligible project must still be developed for
the remaining $75,000. Young said that Highway Superintendent Kilhart
has given top priority to chip sealing Shephardson Road and other
pavement preservation on roads not to include Route 78.  If not
addressed in this construction season, the pavement on Shepardson Road
could be lost.
Arguimbau MOVED to send the letter as is with the handwritten addition
of the sentence "read and approved by Town Counsel." Lemon SECONDED.
VOTED UNANIMOUSLY.
2.	Route 78 - Young said that Tim has been working with the
construction company to rectify problems with the over-layment.  The
cracks will be milled out and repaved, and then the entire stretch of
road will be repaved. These repairs will be made at no cost to the Town,
and should leave the pavement in equal or better shape than it would
have been if no problems had arisen.
3.	FEMA Contracts - Young sought the Board's approval to act on FEMA
contracts, three of which he already has in hand. Another three are
expected to arrive at any time. This matter addresses the damage from
the December 11, 2008 ice storm. Lemon MOVED that the Board approve FEMA
snow and ice contracts. Abbott SECONDED. VOTED UNANIMOUSLY.
4.	Review for Annual Town Meeting - Young said that in his notes
printed up for the Annual Town Meeting, he had represented that the
Board of Selectmen is in agreement with the warrant with the exception
of Article 20. Abbott agreed to lead the Pledge of Allegiance. 
Arguimbau was asked to remember residents who have passed away since the
2008 ATM. The reading of motions was assigned, alternating Abbott,
Lemon, and Arguimbau.
Moderator Mexcur and the Board went over the opening and warrant
articles of the ATM. Town Counsel Dupere joined the discussion of the
mechanics of the Broadband and Transfer-Station enterprise funds.
IV.	Public Comment
None.
The meeting was recessed to begin the Annual Town Meeting. Following
adjournment of the Annual Town Meeting, the Selectboard meeting was
reconvened for the purpose of adjournment.
