The meeting opened at 6:55 p.m.

Kurt Martin, Deputy Sheriff from Orleans Dept. was present. He presented the
budget for the Sheriff’s Office. He noted that there was a 4.6% increase. This
was due to a rise in insurance due to litigation. He asked if there were any
concerns or questions. We thanked him for being present.

Then Larry Labor came in and told us we as a town did not receive funding
through a grant for Ancient Roads through the State of Vermont. He informed us
that 68 towns applied and 22 were chosen randomly. We were not one of them. We
hope that when the new legislators meet they will take this up again. We
thanked him for what he has done.

agreed to meet the following night on the 26th at 7:00 p.m.

give it to Diane Moore first before any determination is made. We will ask her
to give us a read out on what areas the Brighton Fire Dept. covers in the Town
of Morgan.

We will ask Tammy, our Town Clerk, to inform the five organizations that
requested funds from our appropriations to file a petition showing that people
want us to give them some funds.
