Morgan Select Board Meeting
Held on December 11th, 2006 @ 6:55 PM
Present: Richard A. Miller, Chair, Brian Gray, Excused: Rob Guyer
Guest: Larry Labor, and Kurt Martin
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.
The minutes were approved as written.
We noted that our next scheduled meeting would be on Christmas Day so we
agreed to meet the following night on the 26th at 7:00 p.m.
The sheriff’s report to the Town of Morgan was reviewed.
The Town of Brighton Fire Dept. sent us a letter discussing funding. We will
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.
We reviewed the newsletter from VT Co-op.
We reviewed the northeast States Emergency Newsletter.
We received a newsletter from Public Works: given to Brian Gray
We received a newsletter from Vt. Land Trust: given to R. Miller
We signed orders 12 and 12A.
Then R. Miller informed the Board that he spent over an hour today on the
phone attempting to get a phone for our Land Fill. After much discussion it
was agreed to place a phone there this Friday. The new phone # for the Land
Fill will be 723-4380. R. Miller will speak with Tammy about keys for the
Land Fill so that he can get in on Friday.
The meeting adjourned at 7:45 p.m.
