     The town no longer has the crisis riding officer. The Sheriff's office has a new program. This will be more of a follow-up service provided to towns. The Sheriff's department has staff to work with residents in crisis situations. They are looking at grants and there will be no cost to the town at this point.

     General Discussion...
     Criteria for the town to become a Climate Leader were discussed. Establish a local committee, work on a decarbonization roadmap, establish goals by 2030 for 2050, and zero emission goals for town purchases. Zero emission goals are loose for heavy machinery and emergency vehicles. Efforts will be made for these areas.
