Old Business
1. Credit Card Policy signed by Jerry and David. Patty will look for a vendor.
2. Town of Pittsfield Vermont Civil Ordinance – Variable Rate Pricing By Volume or Weight for Municipal Solid Waste Collection. David researched this topic further. The reference to “enforcement” in White River Alliance Solid Waste District ordinance is for the haulers not for littering/dumping. He contacted the Sheriff’s department about enforcement for littering and they will investigate if called. Dave also contacted the town attorney Marylou Scofield to review the document but has not heard back. Patty has details on how to do an ordinance. Dave stated the three options for trash removal: curbside pick-up, transfer station drop-off; or fast trash (roll-off or truck set-up at designated time(s) and place for collection). Dave verified anyone can utilize the Rutland transfer station and pay a fee for trash with free recycling. Dave is also investigating composting options. Patty and Soo attended the workshop on Act 148 in place of Dave due to scheduling conflict. Patty verified townspeople can go to any transfer station; there can be different fees for residents versus non-residents. Dave would like to table signing the document until he hears back from Marylou. Topic will be on the next agenda.
3. Universal Recycling (Act 148) Town mailing to all residents to make them aware of the change in trash removal. Patty read the memo out loud and shared documents that would be enclosed. Jerry motioned to prep and send the mailing; David seconded.
4. Bathroom and Library door closers update – David has not taken care of yet.
5. No one responded to the notices for a WRVA Representative or a Select Board member. Jerry nominated Matt Corron to fill the vacant position until Town Meeting 2016; David seconded; motion carried.
6. Conflict of Interest Policy – Matt reviewed and signed.
7. Select Board Rules of Procedure – Matt reviewed and signed. Patty also handed out copies of the Vermont Open Meeting Law.
New Business
1. Original Store submitted their Second Class Liquor License renewal for beer and wine sales. Jerry motioned to approve application; David seconded; application approved.
2. Clerk/Treasurer Report:
a. April Financials reviewed by board. Note Town Officer Education budget line is over budget by $65.
b. Patty shared her vacation schedule with Select Board
3. VLCT Open Enrollment for Dental notice will be forwarded to George Deblon for review.
4. Farm to Fork Fondo organizer contacted the state to allow 2 or more bicycle riders abreast onto Route 100 at the start of the ride. The state permit requires a letter of support from the town. Jerry signed the letter. The event is bringing business to town and is a fundraiser for the region.
Other
1. Jerry Drugonis tendered his resignation from the Select Board for personal reasons effective tonight as this will leave two members to operate as the Select Board. He is also resigning from his appointment as representative to TRORC commission.
2. Patty will re-post the Select Board Vacancy Notice and the WRVA representative opening.
3. Due to Jerry’s resignation the Select Board will need to re-organize at the next meeting scheduled for June 2, 2015.
