Communications and notices:
The following communications were received and reviewed by the board as
presented by R. Miller:
A. A letter was received from Comcast extending an invitation to meet with the
board to discuss Comcast’s plans for our area, specifically their line
extensions and services that they are able to offer our residents. This will
be filed for future reference.
B. A copy of Waste Age Magazine was received and forwarded to Brian
Gray.
C. A letter and brochure was received from the Department of Forests, Parks
and Recreation and will be forwarded to our school principal for distribution
to students and teachers. This is a new program called Venture Vermont and
it is hoped that it will stimulate outdoor activities that result in reward
points that can be used for a VIP Silver Coin that will give the recipient a
free admission to state park day areas for 2009-2010!
D. A letter was received from Taplin’s offering port-a-potties service at the
beach parking lot. It was received too late as the service was already awarded
to Juddy’s.
E. The State of Vt. Department of Public Safety sent a reminder notice to the
board. This in regards to the storage of hazardous materials by the town.
Since we do not engage in this activity, it was filed.

Coordinator submitting information on the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program.
Filed for future reference.

Program was received and referred to Shawn Austin. Registration enclosed,
