   • - Discussion and vote on request from Highway Superintendent and Town Administrator to decline the FEMA pre-hazard mitigation grant.

     General Discussion...
     The quote from the grant from 2016 was $280,000. This would be a 25/75 split with the town. As the cost of materials has increased, the town would end up spending much more than anticipated. The Highway Department can do the work for $100,000 without the government constraints on the project. This would ultimately save money and the project could be completed sooner with other projects in that area of town. The board asked for more documentation before making a final decision to refuse the grant.

   • - Discussion and vote on special municipal employee request from Meghan Arquin.

     MOTION, moved by Christopher Waldo, seconded by Erica Goleman: To allow Meghan Arquin to continue with the farm to school collaboration. .
