The Chairperson called the meeting to order at 5:34 p.m.
Proposed Warrant Articles: There was some discussion regarding the current 1997 truck with 121,000 miles on it and where the funds for purchasing the new truck would come from. Theodore G. made a motion to approve the 2008 warrant articles as printed, seconded by Aaron S., Charles S. stated that he would like to vote on each article separately and questioned what needs to be done at the pump stations. David B. read a list of repairs and upgrades that need to be done at the various pump stations. Charles S. questioned if the amount of the warrant article could be increased to 75,000. There was some discussion regarding what accounts the funds would come from and that some of the repairs might be classified better as maintenance items and should come from the regular
maintenance budget. Aaron S. suggested that there might be a better strategy for future funds to cover these types of upgrades. After much discussion regarding the pump stations and the needed upgrades, voted unanimously in favor, so declared by the Chairperson.
Charles S. would like to see the warrant articles state that there will be no tax impact. Holly
L. stated that this type of wording is not allowed on the ballots but she will check with Donna
N. to see if it is allowed.
Charles S. made a motion to allow Donna N. and town counsel to change the wording of the warrant articles if needed, seconded by Aaron S., voted unanimously in favor, so declared by the Chairperson.
Aaron S. mentioned the grant money available for security items for the water systems. David B. will be looking into securing some grant funds for this purpose.
6:24 p.m. Charles S. made a motion to adjourn, seconded by Theodore G., voted unanimously in the affirmative, so declared by the Chairperson.
Submitted by Holly Leonard.
