AGENT’S REPORT
Ice Storm – Dennis reported that the Emergency Planning Team met on Friday and opened the Townhouse as a Red Cross sanctioned shelter. Nick Baker (Fire Department) was in charge. The Red Cross supplied 25 cots and blankets. The Board of Health and Fire Department acted in an assistance mode. Some residents took advantage during the day, but nobody stayed overnight. The Team will meet again to discuss how it functioned and what can be improved (such as communication in town and possible use of reverse 911).
Hazardous Waste Site – An email was sent to Joe Connelly (Interim Town Administrator) on November 25th asking for an update on the progress. He did not respond. It will be forwarded to the new Town Administrator Nancy Colbert.
Budget – Dennis submitted the budget to Joe Connelly.
Permitting fees for youth sports was discussed and it was decided that the fee would be waived for non-profit youth sports staffed by volunteers.
