Selectboards review MOU edits and operating spreadsheet for jointly owned pit
Summary
Putney and Dummerston members reviewed edits to a Memorandum of Understanding (mostly pages 2–3) establishing a joint reclamation fund and examined an operating spreadsheet; members emphasized accounting for blasting cost increases in projections.
During the joint special meeting May 20, members of the Putney and Dummerston selectboards reviewed a proposed Memorandum of Understanding governing a jointly owned gravel pit. Lee Chamberlin said most changes to the MOU were on pages two and three and confirmed the MOU establishes a joint reclamation fund at Community Bank.
The operating spreadsheet was shared with both boards; Lee Chamberlin and Town Manager Karen Astley told members the current numbers are acceptable but flagged that increases in blasting costs should be baked into long-term projections. Members also agreed to reduce reporting frequency from quarterly to annual and noted the interlocal agreement was not discussed at length during this session.
