OTHER BUSINESS: Bill Ormerod reported that Joe Ryan, of Clean Green, will do a presentation at the
Elementary / Middle Schools on May 9 and at the High School on May 15. Al Daniels and Joe Ryan will
meet to finalize the details. Bill also noted that Carol Lizotte would like to know if the Egg Run scheduled
for August 5, 2006 could follow an alternate route. Carol would also like to have the Selectboard nominate
Myles Calhoon for the Citizen of the Year Award sponsored by the VCLT. Charlie Swanson said the
sidewalk permit from the State of Vermont is ready. Judy Cleary reported that the application to the Urban
and Community Forestry Grant Program had been denied. Jeff Blake submitted a request from School
Board Chair, Peggy Stewart. The Town has a five-year lease with the school to use the former principal's
home for town offices. Peggy would like the Board to pay the sum of $5.00 in one lump sum rather than the $1.00 per year payment. She also questioned a bill submitted by the town to the school for use of the
backhoe when the power went out. If the school is reimbursed by their insurance for this cost the Board
would expect payment for the invoice, if not, the town will assume the cost.
PUBLIC INPUT: Colleen Steen spoke to Charlie and Bill regarding meeting date.
The Selectboard meeting was adjourned at 10:43 PM.
