Previous minutes: reviewed and accepted as read.

Mr. Satink introduced himself and stated what his purpose was in coming to the
meeting. Fred presented a comparison of liabilities that the town incurs when
they are the employer (W2) vs. contracted services. This was presented as how
the VLCT sees liabilities from a loss prevention view. After lengthy
discussion Fred agreed to send to the town a list of VOSHA and OSHA standards
that other towns have been found deficient in. As the fines are considerable,
it is best to address these issues before an inspection occurs.
