A. Previous meeting minutes approved as read.
B. Guest Allison Moore presented her concerns about the public beach
utilization, specifically the underage drinking, rowdy behavior, late night
parties, debris left the beach and the broken bottles etc. The members
listened and agreed that this behavior should not be allowed to continue.
Further discussion with the members and the Sheriff will occur.
C. John Binhammer from the Vermont Nature Conservancy discussed their program
as concerns conservation efforts, funding for such activities and
possibilities for the town. He expressed several options were available and
suggested an appraisal be commissioned. The board approved this appraisal and
will enter into further discussion with him. This appraisal will be for a
portion of the so-called town lot. This process is expected to take about 4
months, as there are others ahead of us.
D. Lee Smith turned in his appraisal on both the Round Top and town lot
properties. The town lot appraisal will be reviewed in conjunction with the
Vermont Nature Conservancy information. He also submitted a bill for $900.00
for his work. This was approved for payment. He set a value of $7,500.00 on
the round top land and $133,000.00 on the town land.
E. The State sent an interim homestead tax rate; since this is not the final
tax rate the board agreed to hold publication until it becomes final.
F. A certificate was received from Tammy Lee Morin documenting her completion
of the seminar on Governmental, Accounting and Auditing course she recently
attended.
G. A copy of the legislative wrap up was reviewed and filed.
H. Orders # 1 of fiscal year 2010-2011 were reviewed and signed off for
payment.
Meeting adjourned: 8:00 PM
