Mike Cole, chair of the Energy Committee, asked the Selectboard to take no action at this time while he reviews upcoming invoices and the results of an energy audit of the Library and Community Center; he noted the buildings had recently had windows replaced. The item was recorded as informational with no board action requested at that time.
On budgeting, Julie Isaacs reported the municipal tax decreased from the previous year. Chair Stuart Coleman proposed taking funds from the Fire Equipment Reserve Fund to replace an outdated snowmobile and ATVs used for wilderness response; Coleman said it is very likely the Fire Department would receive a grant for the equipment and suggested selling the old units. The Selectboard agreed to move forward; the transcript records consensus but does not show a formal motion with a recorded vote tied to a specific dollar amount.
