Also present was Alicia Sharp and Maureen Duchesne Clerk/Treasurer.
Dennis Stocker arrived at 6:10. Visitors: Sandy Switzer a reporter for the Rutland Herald. John West came to give his input on the two interviews for
the Wastewater Operator. John also
stated he had gotten phone calls from a couple of people that stated they have
always been able to bring and dump their RV waste tanks at the sewer plant.
John explained to the board that this does cause problems with the
oxidation levels and he felt it was time to have the board make a policy this
not be allowed. Approval for
Minutes: Scott made a motion to approve the minutes as presented and
it was seconded by Alicia. With no
discussion the motion carried (2/0). Approval for the
Fire District Pay Order: Scott made a motion to approve the pay orders and
Alicia seconded the motion. Motion carried (2/0). Old Business: Dennis
did have a very simple type of checklist for Jim to use after each booking at
the lodge. The other board members
took a look at it and both stated they felt it needed to be more detailed as
specifics that need to be checked so it was tabled until the next meeting.
Dennis will redo list and present again. The board did consult with an attorney about the petition that was sent to them and he was going to get in contact with the attorney that the town had talked to before. Maureen presented the board with a letter that was drafted and sent to Attorney Gary Kupferer and we are waiting to hear back. The Fire Districts attorney does state in the letter that wrong facts were presented to the voters that signed the petition and any meeting convened at this time would be an unwarranted waste of municipal time and resources. Dennis made a motion after reading the letter to table any action until we receive further notice, it was seconded by Alicia. With no further discussion the motion carried (3/0). New Business: Maureen
let the board know that she had received a call from Lee Perry to get a number
for the Fire District Delinquent Tax Collector to coordinate with her the
properties that owe back taxes before he does his list for tax sale. Dennis Stocker made a motion that no one would be allowed
any longer to use the sewer plant to take their RV waste tanks and have them
dumped, this was seconded by Alicia. With no further discussion motion carried.
(3/0) Public Comments: None Other Business/Announcements: The board came out of executive session and Dennis made a motion to offer the position to James Austin, it was seconded by Scott. With no further discussion motion carried (3/0). Dennis stated that after the article came out in the paper
about the petition he went to the online article and posted a comment welcoming
any voter to come to the next Prudential Meeting and let the board know how they
feel and not hear from just 2 voters in the district.
Not a single person posted another comment and no one bothered to call
the office or show up at the meeting. Executive Session: Alicia made the motion and Dennis seconded that the board go into executive session to do interviews. The board entered executive session at 6:25. The board asked John West to sit in for the interviews as he will be doing the training. They interviewed two applicants and with no action taken came out of executive session at 8pm. Next Meeting: The
next regularly scheduled meeting of the Prudential Committee will be August 25,
2010 at 6:00 P.M. at the Wallingford Fire Station on Adjournment:
