Recreation Committee Chair K. Shelvey reviewed the wish list and stated
that the four priorities for the fall are a new roof for the lake building,
installing a retaining wall on the beach, adding topsoil and grass seed, and
adding sand to the beach area. The
only estimated costs available were for the landscape timbers for the wall,
which would cost approximately $480 at Home Depot, and $2,000 at rk Miles and
$2,400 at LaValleys for the metal roof. Keith

discuss this issue further. Other Business. On
behalf of Delinquent Tax Collector Lee Perry, Julie reported on the three remaining
properties and tax amounts that are scheduled for tax sale on September 15th
– B. Cullen; T. Skakel, and F. Johnston. The
Selectboard must decide whether to appoint a representative to bid on these

offered to the state for District 3. This
