Department Heads:
5:45 – Duffy re: Recycling Center - To discuss the design he made for the landing at the Recycling Center. Duffy gave the Board a drawing of the proposed loading dock. Duffy will check with the State to see if it is O.K. with them. Needs to move the sheds. Explained snow removal and drainage issues. Would make 4’ retaining walls. People would drop things into the demo dumpster and not have to lift items up and over. Sel. Brooks asked, Is Frank O.K. with this? Frank is concerned about how to get at it with the forklift. Paving will change the drainage. Pipes with ropes will block the areas to keep people from walking over the edge.
Sel. Rainier would like to have a site walk with the Board, Frank and Duffy. They scheduled next week (Thursday) at 5:30. Meet at the Recycling Center.

Assessing Files – Can the Building Insp. Have a key to the assessing office? He would like to have access to property files when he has office hours. Discussion followed. Put this on the agenda for the next staff meeting.
Assessing Changes – Catherine and Deb had a meeting with John from Avitar this week. We went over all of our questions. 4 cards needed to be changed. It was a good meeting. On the UC/No one home changes, John thinks we should call the people at night and ask them if they are done with construction. This will save money later.
Ask Avitar for a copy of the properties they are using for the statistical update. Maybe some of those will save a phone call.
