- The Board discussed potential dates for the June special town meeting and the articles that will need to be on it. June 27 or 28 are the potential dates, M. Noe will check with the Moderator and Clerk for their availability.
- The Board discussed the scheduled meeting for next week and the need to move it out a week to the 23rd. All agreed.
- The Board began discussions about the Memorial Day parade and festivities that follow.
- The Board met with Kim Wetherell to discuss the Conservation Agent position we are looking to create and fill. This is a position that would be funded from the Conservation Wetlands Revolving Fund. Kim was provided with copies of our Scenic Mountains Act and other forms that we use in Monterey. It was agreed that based on our number of RDA’s and NOI’s submitted the position would require up to 20 hours a month. Her schedule is very flexible and she would be available to attend the Commission meetings. The Board all agreed she would be a great choice and will offer her the position.
- The Board discussed the opinions from our Accounting firm and Town Counsel with regards to the Community Center operations. M. Noe will send an email to Joe and Mary letting them know that all monies collected will have to be submitted through town hall as well as requests to pay any bills. We have also been advised that a lease is no longer necessary and a Memorandum of Understanding will suffice. M. Noe will ask for their input on this as well.
- Kenn shared his view of changes that have been made in town hall over the last couple of years, where we are right now, how the Board functions with regard to policy and day to day items, M. Noe’s current role and how this might evolve in the coming year. It was agreed that over the next few meetings we need to solidify the details.
- Broadband update: Carol recused herself from the conversation. Kenn provided an update on working with the state to get the $1.2million released to hire Fiber Connect to finish lighting up the town. There will be multiple upcoming Broadband meetings to get a proposal ready for the June special town meeting.
- Warrants were signed.
