2.A.B.L.E Waste-Response to proposal – At this time the board is not interested in contracting for this service.
3.Green Up Day – Saturday May 4, 2019 is green-up day. Rebecca Steward is the coordinator.
4.Sand Shed – There is too much disparity in how the bids were submitted.

3.Discussion on current road damage and power outage: The Emergency Operations Center (EOC) was contacted to document the situation for possible assistance/funding for repairs. Several roads in town were damaged by flooding including Upper Michigan at Manning's and Hawk Mountain; Liberty Hill and Guernsey Hollow. Charlie motioned to have George place ‘road closed/local traffic only’ signs on Upper Michigan Road and Liberty Hill; Ann seconded; motion carried. The town office does not have a generator which makes operations difficult in emergency situations. The board would like to pursue a generator and two-way radios due to intermittent cell phone coverage. The two way radios would be used by Emergency Management Coordinators, the Road Commissioner and one Select Board member. Trish will contact EOC for grants/funding for these items and Ann will ask Herb to contact TRORC for possible grants/funding.
