carried (4-0) with N. Tift abstaining. 2011 Summer Recreation Program.
Kim and Cheryl Maniery were present to discuss the summer recreation
program. Kim announced that school
will now end on June 21st, thereby delaying the start date until June
27th. Therefore, the program will
only run four weeks this summer. Job descriptions for the summer recreation
program were reviewed, and the Board would prefer to have one counselor with
lifeguard certification. Kim
reported that she’s waiting to hear back from RSSU on using their bus for
field trips, which should help cut back the cost.
Clarendon has agreed to pay for one field trip.
The Selectboard agreed to charge residents $60 for one child, $110 for
two children, and $165 for three children. Non
residents will pay $65 for one, $120 for two, and $180 for three.
The $25 registration fee per child will remain in place.
This fee schedule was approved on a motion made by C. Angel and seconded
by F. Bruce. Motion carried (5-0). J.
Gilman stated that all monies should be given to the Treasurer and that she and
the Director should meet weekly to review finances as well as combine forces to
see how much funding is available for scholarships.
Cheryl will provide a form for parents to complete if they wish to apply
for a scholarship. As stated at the
last meeting, scholarship donations should be kept in a separate account and
rolled over and accumulated year to year if not spent.
J. Gilman added to the Director’s job description that “the Director
will regularly give copies of all financial reports to the Treasurer”.
Kim reported that three employees will be needed for 40 children, and
possibly a fourth as a back up if over 40 children.
F. Bruce made a motion to approve all job descriptions as amended as well
as hiring the number of employees as stated earlier; motion seconded by J.
Gilman. Motion carried (5-0).
Cheryl questioned the program budget, and there is $400 available for
recreation field supplies and $500 for field trips.
Cheryl gave an update on the grant writing process. The Selectboard approved the Scholarship
Committee Appointment. F.
Bruce was reappointed to serve on this committee on a motion made by J. Gilman
and seconded by N. Tift. Motion
carried (5-0). Road
Commissioner Appointment.
With no letters of interest received in response to the advertised position, C.
Angel made a motion to reappoint Frank Bruce as Road Commissioner.
J. Gilman reported that he spoke to Charlie Woods about taking the
position; therefore, he made a motion to appoint Charlie Woods.
Mr. Bruce discussed his accomplishments over the years.
N. Tift made a motion to appoint Robert McMahon.
Mr. McMahon praised the road crew as well as F. Bruce and offered some
suggestions to assist them. The motion to appoint F. Bruce failed by a vote of
2-3 with B. Brooks, J. Gilman and Annual
Appointments.
J. Gilman made a motion to appoint Joan Crowley and Kathy Ross as
Auditors; motion seconded by N. Tift. Motion

four years on the Conservation Commission; motion seconded by N. Tift.
Motion carried (5-0). J
Gilman made a motion to reappoint DRB members Larry Miller and John West for
three-year terms. He did not wish to
reappoint Ed Crelin because of the browbeating he gave the Selectboard over the
engineering study on the “pit” and would like to appoint Ben Clark.
The motion was seconded by N. Tift. Motion
carried (4-0) with C. Angel abstaining. Joyce
suggested that next year’s DRB appointments be given three-year terms so the
terms don’t expire all in the same year. J.
Gilman made a motion to reappoint Dog Warden Ben Morgan and E911 Coordinators
Eric and Dale Davenport for one-year terms, and Energy Committee members Ralph
Nimtz and Doug Blodgett for two-year terms, and Bert Jones and Jay White for
three-year terms; motion seconded by F. Bruce.
Motion carried (5-0). Joyce
did not wish to be reappointed to the Fire Protection Budget Committee and
