- Mike will submit his entire spreadsheet for Vehicles & Equipment to the committee for review. Discussion followed concerning the need to repair, renovate or replace the existing department structure. Mike felt strongly that there was no need for a new building, and had some definite ideas about a restructured roof and insulation. He was asked to pull together a ballpark number for building improvements.
#4. Town Clerk Patty Jenks briefly visited the committee. She is not aware of any capital needs for her operation that would need to be a part of the CIP.

#7. The meeting adjourned at 1:15 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
