Present:  Bill Brooks, Frank Bruce, Charlie Angel, Nelson Tift, and Julie Sharon

Visitors:  Sandi Switzer

Minutes.  On behalf of J. Gilman, Julie read his email request to amend his motion in the minutes under Other Business to read “that the Town Agent is authorized to initiate legal action to enforce the settlement agreement if excavation activity occurs before the next Selectboard meeting”.  B. Brooks pointed out that pursuant to statute,  the Zoning Administrator must first send a violation letter.  After a seven-day notice period has passed, enforcement action can then be taken by the Zoning Administrator. Therefore, the minutes were approved as written on a motion made by C. Angel and seconded by F. Bruce.  Motion carried (4-0). 

Selectboard Orders.  F. Bruce made a motion to approve the pay orders totaling $7,148.24, which was seconded by C. Angel.  Motion carried (4-0).  

Building Use Requests.  On a motion made by F. Bruce and seconded by C. Angel, approval was given to the Girl Scouts to use the upstairs on May 2^nd from 6-8 p.m. for an organizational meeting at no charge.  Motion carried (4-0).  B. Brooks made a motion to approve a request by Victoria Bergen to use the upstairs on Monday evenings from 4/25 through 7/18 from 5:30-6:30 p.m. for a community weight loss challenge and charge $50.  There was discussion on what she’ll earn from this challenge ($35 per participant), and B. Brooks amended his motion to charge 10% of her earnings at the end of the challenge; F. Bruce seconded the motion.  Motion carried (4-0).  

Creek Road Bridge Engineering RFP.  This item was deferred until the next meeting.  F. Bruce asked if VTrans could provide a study at no charge.  

Quarterly Financial Reports.  YTD expenses are generally on target with the exception of the Highway Department.  We have exceeded our highway salt budget by over $11,000.  Also, unforeseen repairs made to the grader earlier in the year caused an overage of nearly $5,500. This adverse impact brings the entire department’s YTD expenses to $159,314 or 92% of budget.  Therefore, the department will be told to take whatever measures necessary through June 30^th to stay under budget on other expenses to offset this variance.  

Other Business.  On behalf of J. Gilman, Julie read his announcement that the town’s fire wardens, Dave Gilman and Art Seward, recently attended the annual meeting at which time Mr. Gilman was recognized for 15 years of service.  

F. Bruce reported on the wandering bull in South Wallingford owned by Beverly Farone.  

There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 6:45 p.m.
