Selectmen’s Conference Room 2:15 P.M.
First Selectman Mailhos called the meeting to order at 2:20 P.M. with the following in attendance: Selectman Millix & Blessington with Lynn Nicholls, Donna Latincsics and Residents.
A. Budget Workshop
The Board went over draft #7 of the revised budget. Discussion was held about reducing the Land Use Attorney fees. Jim Poole offered insight on the Planning and Zoning perspective.
A decrease was made for the Land Use Engineer as well as the Public Works Engineer to save $8,250 and $14,000 respectively.
Public Works vehicle maintenance was reduced by $5,000. There is an immediate need for a used truck. If Lynn’s operating budget has an extra $15,000-$20,000 at the end of the fiscal year. The plan is to purchase a used truck. Discussion followed.
First Selectman Mailhos motioned to add $15,000 for a new pick up truck with a plow to go into the CIP Plan and to change the following line items: 0141-Land use attorney decrease by $8,000, 0183-Engineer – land use decrease by $8,250, 0183-Engineer – PW decrease by $10,500, 0311 PW vehicle maint. decrease by $40,000 for a total savings of $35,250
Selectman Millix seconded the motion.
Vote: 3 Yes (Mailhos, Millix & Blessington) 0 No.
B. Discussion of Planning and Zoning violation
Discussion was held on the violation and options to remediate. Sue Yorgensen joined the meeting at 3:25 P.M. She went over the options that were previously discussed with Lynn and Karl. The discussion was either to apply for a reserve land zone change or sand and gravel permit. Mr. Poole said that the Town cannot apply for a gravel operation permit, and just store it without using the gravel. You can’t have it both ways. The Town could also apply for phasing but there seemed to be a difference of opinion with what would be done with the area, and future plans for it.
First Selectman Mailhos adjourned the meeting at 4:03 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,
