Townspeople to Address the Board: Donny Welch and Mark Morse attended out of interest in the plans for the new addition to the town clerk’s office. Creating an ad hoc committee to plan for this addition then became the focus of the discussion. Fred Collins said that the goal of this committee would first be to find out what the space requirements would be and second to come up with a cost estimate by town meeting Fred took names suggested for this committee that included Fred, Ken Scott, Bob Severidt, Winston Rost, perhaps a lister, and perhaps a member of the historical society. Fred will contact these people about the best time to meet to begin organizing. Kelly and Robert Hurd-Burnell came to the meeting to express their concerns about a pull-off on their property that is causing a long list of problems for them and their family. They presented a letter and a set of pictures to the selectboard. (These will be filed with the approved minutes.) After much discussion between the board and the Hurd-Burnells Todd Liberty made the motion to allow David Quenneville to rectify the pull-off on River Road adjacent to the Hurd-Burnell’s property. The motion was seconded by Fred Collins and all were in favor of the motion. Old Business: Since the last meeting, the town received 4 applications for the open position on the road crew.

Craig Isvak seconded the motion and all were in favor of it. A discussion was held among the board members regarding rental of the town’s meeting space.
