After a short discussion and consideration to the conversation with

Attorney Juliano (School Attorney) a motion was made and seconded, based
upon all the factors, to decline the offer from the School Board to
purchase the E. Taylor Hatton School. A draft letter will be written up

Board and Supervisory Union.
3. Shawn Austin reported to me (Tammy) that the guard rails off of Hatton
Heights have been repaired and all missing signs have been replaced and
the Pedestrian signs on the Valley Road have been put up.
Highway Commissioner, Shawn Austin wanted to report to the Board that all
signs had been replaced and the pedestrian signs requested being put in on
the Valley road were done. He also noted that the guard rails off of
Hatton Heights were now complete.
Shawn also wanted to let the Select Board know that he had been in contact
with Gordon Elliott of his complaints of water on his property
(Morgan/Charleston Road) being the Town’s fault. Shawn did not feel that
it is the Town’s fault but has tried very hard to convince Mr. Elliott
that it is the hilly property behind his residence that more than likely
is causing the problem. Mr. Elliott feels that it is a culvert that a
butt’s his property. Shawn is more than willing to remove the culvert but
doesn’t feel it will solve the problem.
