This is needed for FEMA reimbursement. Nate has asked Lucille to put together the expenses for the road repairs on Bear Mtn. and Kendall Hill to see if any of this qualifies for help from FEMA.
Fire Dept. Lee is here as Fire Chief – is questioning how the Selectboard can override the order of a fire chief regarding providing the necessary fire hose – 500 feet of 5 inch hose for Raymond Lemay’s new development. Lee is requesting this in writing from the Town of Troy Selectboard - Lee notes the price of the hose has increased significantly since this was originally ordered. Lee also states that the ‘Brown property’ was going to be brought up to specs prior to having any water to his new development. Lee is requesting that a meeting be held to discuss this when both he and Raymond can attend along with the paperwork that was done at the time. Lee has checked and nothing on the Act 250 addresses this issue, this is solely based on the policies of the town. All agreed and this will be done at the April meeting.
Delbert Cote 6 month probation period is over the end of the month and Lee reports there are no issues.

Paul asked what is going on with the sheriff’s dept and the village – Nate reports the village is setting up their own contract for the village. Nate also reports that the village is still interested in having the town maintain the village roads – Lucille says she can separate the village and the town. There will be a future discussion. John stated there needs to be a means to ensure the hours for the sheriff hours if they were joint would be equal so most to the hours would not be solely used for one municipality over another.
Next sewer meeting is 3-19-09 in Jay.
BJ Putvain – via phone – is slated for 4-7-09 will be doing the initial preliminary test for entry to the phase 1 course for certification for law officer.

Board present: Nate Delandes, Roland Mayhew, Dexter Randall

Meeting opened at 6:40pm
Mark Higley reviewed the town map with the group regarding the town line between Troy/Lowell. Nanette questioned if the survey maps have been accepted – some are on mylar some are not. Maps were compared noting that the maps are not the same scale. Carl states there is approximately a 12 foot discrepancy in the most recent survey. The boards also reviewed additional areas of discrepancies along the town lines.
Mark feels that as long every one agrees – the surveys can go to Cardiographics and the corrections made. Richard asked if the maps in Lowell and in Troy matched in regards to the property lines, the consensus is that they do not. Alden points out that in correcting the property lines this will affect the Newport town lines. The properties that will be affected are Gelo, Harvey, Heck and Wurshtorn property. Lerry said the Gelo’s have been in and are in agreement with the property line as on the map.
The total of acreage will not change but the amount in one town or another will change. The question was asked if there is any landowner that previously had surveyed land solely in one town and now will have land in both towns – the answer is no.
Mark reports that the Lowell listers have met with the Troy Listers and have agreed upon the survey and property lines, now just need the two Selectboard agree on this as well. The survey maps reflect the property lines as on the tax maps for each town. Cardiographics basically do the maps from aerial surveys.
Motion made by Alden that both Troy and Lowell have accepted the new proposed evidence of the survey maps for purpose of tax maps boundaries, seconded by Richard all in favor – so moved.
Alden expressed appreciation for all that have worked to get this accurate.
No further business

The board conveyed to Mr. Quentin their appreciation of what Mr. Quentin has done with the property since he assumed ownership. Mr. Quentin asked why the board wants to spend money on lawyer fees for a situation like this. Paul explained that while the board is not singling out this particular situation but there are other properties that are presenting issues and the board is taking a stance on issues such as this. Mr. Quentin asked why the property tax on the Longe property was not adjusted once it was devalued because of the fire. He states he has asked for abatement and has not heard from anyone in the town offices regarding that. Mr. Quentin asked to be excused for a moment.
BJ Pudvain gave an update on the multiple calls he has been receiving. He presented a request to attend a class – phase one law enforcement certification – this will be required by 2010. He has been accepted and is requesting the class fee to be covered by the town – it is a 40 hour class at the police academy, the cost of the class is 300 dollars, as well as the cost of the hotel. Paul asked if he is doing stuff that the sheriff should be handling, (5 – 6 times per month not including animal control). He stated he would like to take the courses and would continue to volunteer as constable. He reports he deals directly with the state police.
Motion – approve the request for payment of the class fee as well as hotel expenses not to exceed $600. Paul/Nate – all in favor so moved.
Paul asked for more info regarding what Phase one certification gives us – asked BJ to get more info to the board prior to town meeting as this would be good info to present to the towns people.

He will contact Mr. Quentin with what information he finds out.
Solid Waste Transfer Station – next steps –reviewed the letter from the planning commission discussing the reasons for denying the permit for solid waste transfer station. Discussion as to the benefits of this to the town in that the cost of a solid waste transfer station would cover the cost of recycling expense in the town budget.
