Next scheduled meeting: July 21, 2010

The meeting was called to order at 6:00PM by Thomas “Hank” Pelkey, Chairman.

Select Board members present:  Thomas “Hank” Pelkey, Joseph Gagnon, Thomas Hooker, Linda Weeden, and Allen Hitchcock.   Also present:  Linda Drummond, Helen McKinlay, John Weeden, Jack Rogers, John Haverstock, and Kelly Giard, Recording Secretary.

PUBLIC COMMENT:

None presented at this time.

NEW BUSINESS

The purpose of this meeting was the setting of the tax rate.

J. Haverstock gave a history of the rate.  The proposal includes the $353,550 that was agreed to be paid back to the taxpayers.
T. Pelkey inquired about the carry-over amount that was proposed.  There should only be roughly $180,000 left in the General Fund balance, according to the auditors due to the calculations based on State formulas.

There was much discussion concerning the setting of the tax rate. H. McKinlay noted that any year-end General Fund balance was not yet audited.  H. McKinlay indicated that all the invoices that have been received through her office have been processed.  L. Drummond indicated that there is roughly $90,000 in bills to be paid with regard to the Fiscal Year 2010.

There was much discussion concerning the amount to be returned to the Taxpayers for this current year.  The members agreed to table this matter until the July 21, 2010 meeting so all folks involved could research the information necessary to make this decision.

Jack Rogers reported that the Grand List is slightly lower than in the past year due to the decrease value in the personal property that is taxed.

OTHER BUSINESS:

The Findings of Fact in regard to the Smart Dog Hearing were signed with no corrections.

The Water & Sewer packets will be distributed on Thursday, July 14, 2010 and the Select Board packets will be distributed on Monday, July 19, 2010.

Bruce Paynter has submitted a proposal for the purchase of used sound equipment.  The proposal is roughly $589.90 for 7 microphones, stands and a mixing board.  This equipment will be used by all Boards/Commissions and will be permanently located in the Conference Room.  The members agreed unanimously to purchase this equipment.

EXECUTIVE SESSION

J. Haverstock reported that there are contractual issues (Union negotiations) thus recommending Executive Session.

T. Pelkey made a motion and seconded by T. Hooker to go into Executive Session for contractual issues that may be jeopardized by public disclosure at 6:26 PM.   The motion was unanimously passed.  J. Haverstock was invited to remain for Executive Session.

In accordance with 1VSA 312 (b), where premature general public knowledge would clearly place the Municipality or person involved at a substantial disadvantage, the Board

unanimously agreed to enter into Executive Session for the purpose of Contracts at 6:26 PM.

The Select Board came out of executive session at 6:30 PM with no action taken.

The next regular meeting will be held on July 21, 2010.

The Special meeting adjourned at 6:27 PM.

Respectfully Submitted,

Kelly Giard, Recording Secretary

Week 1-June 28-July 2: Mythical Magical Fun

There is magic in the air. In this enchanting week of camp, we will have a magic show, compete in captivating and magical Olympic games, design a mythical creature, play capture the magic wand, build an enchanted sand castle and design our very own wizard hats. Open up your imagination and join us for a week of magical, mythical fun.

Week 2- July 5-9: Vermont Treasures

We live in a beautiful state! This week we will explore the wonders of Vermont. We will make a treasure chest, venture on a scavenger hunt, learn about Vermont plants and animals from a ranger, and make maple ice cream. This week will include a hike to Thundering Falls and an afternoon of indoor rock climbing.

Week 3- July 12-16: Act it Out!

Have you ever want to see what the world of acting is about? During this week we will all work together to practice our acting skills, be silly while trying improvisation, and get creative with set designs. No pressure! There are jobs for the behind the scene-types and stars alike! We will perform on the last day of camp for friends and family. A donation box will be available for the Pittsford Humane Society.

Week 4- July 19-23: Kids Create

All you need is a little imagination and inspiration. Get ready for a week of paints, beads, clay, and paper Mache. We will play Pictionary, create collages, construct salt dough magnets, make recycled mobiles, and have an art exhibit. Need I say more?!

Week 5-July 26-30: Space is the Place

Do you have the ability to work with a team to design a spaceship? Can you find aliens and search for moon rocks?  Let’s explore the world above the clouds. Capture your time in space with a photo of you on the moon, sculpt your own planet and create an alien. This week includes stargazing via our own ‘borrowed’ planetarium. It will be out of this world!

Week 6-August 2-6: Symphony of Senses

Delve into the world of our senses. Each day will be devoted to one of our senses; sight, taste, touch, smell and sound. Can you guess a food just by tasting it? During this week we will make some yummy foods, talk on a telephone the campers create, be blindfolded and touch grapes … umm… olives… or maybe cherry tomatoes? This week includes a trip to the Milky Way Organic Farm where we will use all our senses!
