Summary

Porta-potties were delivered to Fairfield Pond Beach and the Selectboard said Friends of Lake Champlain (FNLC) will discuss potential beach and boat-launch work from an approved grant; separately, Brian Dubie reported Fairfield initiated a multi-town letter of concern about Act 181, which was amended in the Vermont House and is now with the Senate.

Cathy Ainsworth reported that porta-potties have been delivered to Fairfield Pond Beach and the Community Center. She reminded the Selectboard that Friends of Lake Champlain (FNLC) has an approved grant that, among other projects, is expected to address an issue identified at the boat launch and the beach through the Fairfield Pond Watershed study. The board asked FNLC to come to the Selectboard to discuss project specifics.

Separately, Selectboard member Brian Dubie reported that Fairfield was the first town to write a letter raising concerns about Act 181; approximately 20 other towns followed. He said the Vermont House amended the bill — removing the 'Road Rule' and Tier 3 — and the measure has moved to the Vermont Senate.
