New Business:

1. The Board reviewed the monthly Budget for the Town. The budget, so far, looks good. Lou then went on to discuss the budget shortcomings for the year. The full property revaluation will be this year as opposed to 2017, adding $6,500 to what the expected expenditures would be for Property Reassessment. Also there is the $2000 needed toward the new cruiser. Lou also discussed an email he had from Dennis McClary asking for the Heritage Commission to be repaid by the Town $14,000 from 2014. The Board discussed looking further into this matter.

2. The Board discussed the time line from Griffin Construction on the roof repair for the Old Fire Station.

3. The Board reviewed and signed a letter to the Trustees asking for the release of monies from the Highway Department Capital Reserve Fund to help pay for the backhoe.

4. In an update from the Road Agent: the sand is complete for the year and two culverts are in the works.

5. The Board was notified that the Food Shelf had changed the locks on the back door of the building in an effort to prevent unauthorized entrance and theft.

6. The Board reviewed an email from Bart Centre concerning the flagpole at the Meetinghouse. Lou recommended having Todd see if he could do the painting, replace the rope and fix the pulley system.

7. The Board discussed having conversations with Jim from BMSI concerning the new tax billing software, checking out the pricing for prior years and talking to some of the towns that already use Summit before coming to a decision.

8. The Board reviewed and signed POs for the Road Agent. The Board asked to have Todd join next weeks meeting. Lou discussed going to the bank to set up the paperwork to purchase the cruiser and truck cab/chassis.
