B. Previous minutes accepted as read.

C. The following communications and notices were received, reviewed and filed.

1. A notice of a zoning violation and the required actions that need to be
taken was sent out to the respondent by Stephen Matson, the towns zoning
officer.

2. An information letter was received from Fred’s p & H concerning heating
costs for the coming winter. The board reviewed the usage and determined that
our consumption is so low for the town’s properties we will buy at market.

3. A notice was received from NEKWMD re future charges for tire disposal will
be on a per pound basis. The new charge will be $.08/lb. There are other
contractors out there that will dispose of tires based on size not by weight.
R. Miller will call P. Tomasi and obtain information on how much we send off
for disposal annually.

4. A copy of the VLCT newsletter was distributed.

5. Mr. John Binhammer will come to our July 12th meeting and discuss the
operations of the Vermont Nature Conservancy with the Board.

6. ATV’s and their operations on town roads were discussed at length. The town
does not have an ordinance specifying roads that may be used for ATV travel.

Under Title 23 Chapter 31 an all-terrain vehicle may not be operated on a
public highway unless the highway has been opened by the select board or
trustees or local governing body and is so posted by the municipality. The
town has not opened or posted any town highways for ATV travel, therefore it
is not permitted. Any infractions may be reported to the proper authorities
for enforcement.

See section 3506 under chapter 31.

7. Orders # 28 were reviewed and signed for payment.

Meeting adjourned: 8:00 PM
