<span style="font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;">Tim said that they have received a letter from Becky and Jeremy has seen it as well.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;">Becky said that this is an ongoing issue every year regarding the way the town plows the town hall driveway that leads to Church St. Becky said that she is willing to work with the town - if the plowing is always toward her house then she gets a lot of runoff onto her land. If there is too much snow then it might make sense to plow toward her.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;">Tom said that the town plows only plow into one direction so the road crew would plow toward Becky’s house or toward the town hall hill.</span></div>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; list-style-type: lower-alpha; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3800000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;">Jeremy offered to use a loader to move the current snow on her property.</span></div>

<li dir="ltr" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; list-style-type: lower-alpha; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3800000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;">Becky said he doesn’t need to do that now she just doesn’t want it to happen regularly. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;">Tom said that one option is to not plow that driveway for the winter and everyone can access town hall via Peacham/Danville Rd. David doesn’t think it’s a good idea because it would also restrict pedestrian access.</span></div>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; list-style-type: lower-alpha; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3800000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;">Tim will call Jeremy and then call Becky to work out this situation. David and Annette agreed to let Tim handle this and then report back to David and Annette.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;">Handicap ramp - there is not a guardrail outside the upper gym door. There is nothing that prevents people from falling off the side, just the handrail. This winter we closed the lower gym door because of the challenge for maintenance with all of the snow/ice falling off the roof in front of the door. This winter, they requested everyone use the upper door on the ramp, and suddenly seems like an issue. Tom said that the town has never been cited for it. It’s a short section that needs the guardrail.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;">Tom said that we are all done. He shared the budget maintenance report with the Selectboard and Becky. He said he has gone through the budget with a fine tooth comb. Now the town is accounting for every cent that comes in and goes out, which is not the way it had been done in the past. So compared to last year’s budget, it looks like we spent $300,000 more and received $300,000 more in revenue. This is the most thorough way to track everything and it was inspired by Annette’s inquiry. </span></div>

The roads have a large amount of ice on them. The ice blades on the
graders can't touch it and seem to make it worse. Jeremy said that
there is at least 2 inches of ice on the roads and that people need
to slow down.</div>

Melissa said that the town plan expires on 3/1/17 so the bylaws
need to be approved by then as it will take the Planning Commission
at least 1.5 – 2 years to finalize a new version. She said she is
still waiting to hear back about whether or not the Village Center
Designation can be renewed before then. If so, David and Annette
would like to move forward with the renewal. If not, Alison Low of
NVDA will work with the Planning Commission to make sure our town
plan qualifies for the designation and she will help us re-apply.</div>

Annette said that she was unable to attend the school board meeting
but that Jock Gill did and reported back. She brought the “A
Practical Guide to Modern Woodheating” document from Adam
Sherman, the expert for the State. Annette would like to invite him
to survey the town hall and write a report to see what the town
would need to heat with biomass. With this report the town would be
able to apply for grants.</div>

<li><div align="left" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The installation is a lot more expensive than replacing the boiler
but there is an immediate cost savings on fuel and potentially you
can recover that expense quickly.</div>
</li>
<li><div align="left" style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Jock thought that the town might be able to get away with the
largest residential unit, which is much cheaper than a commercial
model.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #1d2129; font-size: small;">Peacham's
road crew is extra diligent this year. But they are not magicians!
The ice deposited in early winter will not disappear any time soon.
Plowing, sand and salt are not perfect. Road conditions change
rapidly whether snowing or sunny. They are horror struck when they
see drivers tailgate, speed, then swerve around bends and vehicles.
Please be safe and drive SLOWER in the winter -- even when the
weather is good (and especially when it’s not). Thanks.</span></span></div>

<ol start="2" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<li dir="ltr" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; list-style-type: decimal; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline;">Annette introduced Geoff Sewake, Chair of the Planning Commission. He let everyone know that his mantra is outreach and feedback from the community during this town plan process. His plan is to not incorporate personal bias but to represent the community. Broadband is one of those issues that the Planning Commission would like feedback on.</span></div>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; list-style-type: decimal; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline;">Annette introduced Clay Purvis, the Connectivity Development Manager for the State of Vermont.</span></div>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; list-style-type: decimal; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline;">Clay passed out a handout to the audience with information about Peacham’s current state of broadband access. Clay spoke at length about the ins and outs of broadband service and the State of Vermont and he fielded questions from the audience. Highlights are below.</span></div>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; list-style-type: decimal; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline;">Clay said that the State did some mapping of Peacham and there are 557 locations in Peacham that are listed in the database - 163 locations have access to 25 down, 3 up, which is the federal standard for broadband. 154 have something between 4 down 1 up and 25 down 3 up. 240 addresses have something less than 4 down 1 upl. </span></div>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; list-style-type: decimal; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline;">There are a couple of projects going on that will impact Peacham. VTEL WOW project is a thoroughly funded wireless project. They are deploying statewide 4ge territory. He brought a VTEL wireless router and there was 2 down 3 up here in the library. They were planning on building a tower in Cabot but had to move it. If they do that there should be service coming into the western part of Peacham. </span></div>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; list-style-type: decimal; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline;">Second major project is the Connect America Fund - the largest statewide investment in broadband to date - 50 mill over 6 years given to fairpoint. A program run through the Universal Service Fund. Expected to bring 10 down 1 up to 24,000 addressses statewide - they also have a designated territory - in Peacham that includes 330 addresses including mostly the 240 under 4/1 and mostly avoiding where cable is available. But there are 33,000 addresses that need it within their territory so will not do all of it. What we have been encouraging towns to do is to speak with fairpoint, let them know that you are interested and see if they will do a project here. If not, they provide a statewide grant program to support additional projects. The other solution for north on Bayley Hazen would be the extension of cable - if you request video service, they will extend it (legally have to it) but there is a fee and tariff and it’s based on the number of addresses. About $30,000 a mile and the tariff determines how that’s born between addresses and service provider. Did a project on Oneida Rd in Danville that was 11 addressses - cost about $24,000 - partially funded by addresses - $100 per person - and then was grant awarded though that program is not available anymore. </span></div>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; list-style-type: decimal; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline;">They do fund - they do not expect any match from the recipient. The cost is born by state and service provider. There are two Fairpoint companies in Vermont - he explained difference. </span></div>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; list-style-type: decimal; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline;">For Peacham, it seems like the best route is to talk with providers and Clay would be happy to set that up with the Planning Commission or Selectboard to see what projects are available. </span></div>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; list-style-type: decimal; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline;">If the town has the ability to raise or commit any money, the provider then comes to seek a grant from the community initiative it makes it much more attractive for the grant. </span></div>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; list-style-type: decimal; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline;">Brian said that he is a manager for Fairpoint but is speaking as a citizen of Peacham right now. Currently under caf 2 we are building on the backside of Peacham Pond and Martins pOnd sites - Peacham Pond in the next couple of months, Martin Pond by June-ish. On drawing borde for future - two sites being debated. We have hit 2 yerar milestone in first year so looking more for capital funding from Fairpoint itself. If successful would be looking at far end of Bayley Hazen Rd or Thaddeus Stevens Rd. Would have at least 25 up 3 down most likely. </span></div>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; list-style-type: decimal; vertical-align: baseline;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline;">Annette thanked Clay for his time. </span></div>

Village Pathway Winter Maintenance</div>
<ol type="a">
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
David said that the meeting about
safe routes to school that he had with Jock and Adam was good. They
looked at three different possibilities for a way to school, two of
which go through Adam Kane’s property. One also goes through the
Fitsue's property and one goes along the roadway. The school’s
responsibility would be to keep the pathway clear. Jock emailed us
a map with all of these routes on it. A lot of it is school
responsibility to make these things happen and there is some
property ownership issues. Adam was quite fine with it. The other
thing is to make the crosswalk a 90 degree – recommended by state
engineers, the state paints it so will have to be done next year.
David threw out a survey to the school. The survey was there for 2
weeks. Got 8 responses out of 36 families. 6 of 8 go by car, 1 by
bus, 1 by car/walk but do have these letters from a couple of
people on the Bayley Hazen Rd. Another option was have the bus stop
at café and pick up kids that cant quite make it from there to
school safely in the winter time.
</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
David said that he is beginning
to lean toward not maintaining the path in winter and to have
school set up a bus. Mainly because the path is low and will become
dangerously icy and the town is just not set up to deal with that.
The end of the path is steep. He thinks the town needs to work on
figuring out how to improve that path in a way that maintaining it
in the winter time will be safe as well. He thinks we should look
at all the alternatives. The town can buy a weed burner to burn
weeds off of staymat instead of roundup. It wont cost a lot to do a
staymat pathway. He thinks the goal should be doing something about
the path next summer.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Jock showed Annette the picture
of the proposed paths. They also talked about traffic calming
measures so people don’t speed up the hill and know there is a
school there.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
As far as safe routes to school
for winter, David recommends that we do not maintain the pathway
but that the bus stops at the Peacham Corner Guild and that
transportation is provided for any field trips into the village.
David will talk to Ashley at the school about the bus. David will
flag the trees and Jeremy will take them down. David will research
rumble strips.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Mike said there is also town
property that abuts the school property that might be an option for
an alternative path. Mike will look into the right of way on the
Palmieri property as well. David said that to get kids off the road
in the fair weather is a great option.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The State said that Elkin’s Way
should be a right angle as well. David will contact Judy to see if
she has a file on the safe routes to school.</div>
</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
School Board Minutes</div>
<ol type="a">
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Melissa had sent an email about
the school board minutes posted online not meeting State
requirements.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Tom said that VLCT recommends
keeping the municipality and the school board separate.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Annette will contact the school
board members to talk about this to see if they can ask the CCSU to
make this a priority.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Annette said that the best source
on Open Meeting Law is the statute itself. VLCT is not always
accurate. The Orange Book is not accurate as well. Annette will
train the Selectboard and Melissa on how to use the state statutes
online when we have a light agenda.</div>
</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Zoning Regulations Update from
Planning Commission</div>
<ol type="a">
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Annette had asked the Planning
Commission to answer some questions which they answered at their
last meeting. She will make a final round of edits and send it to
the Planning Commission to make sure that the changes make sense.</div>
</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Connectivity Meeting</div>
<ol type="a">
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Clay Purvis, the Connectivity
Development Manager Department of Public Services in Montpelier
will make a presentation at 7pm on Tuesday December 13<sup>th</sup>
at the Peacham Library. Notice it as a special meeting. Change the
Planning Commission Meeting. Annette will look into having pizza
for the event.</div>
</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Highway Department Update</div>
<ol type="a">
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Now that the paving job is done,
he filled out this TA65, which needs three signatures. He is going
to meet with Shauna in the morning and pass the file on the job to
her so that the town can be reimbursed for $175,000.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b>Annette moves that the
Selectboard sign the Request for Reimbursement Form TA65. David
seconds. All in favor. So moved.</b></div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Jeremy received a new application
from someone with a CDL. He has four applications total. Jeremy
will schedule an interview with the Selectboard and an applicant.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Jock said that there is a crushed
culvert on Ha Penny.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Mike said that the roads are in
great shape.</div>
</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Town Clerk Update</div>
<ol type="a">
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Tom said that right now the town
has $260,000 in the bank and that puts us at a negative $115,000
because the town borrows against itself for the working capital
fund. If we get the $175,000 that puts the town at a surplus of
$59,000 but will probably still end up negative $8,000. He ran the
final numbers for East Peacham Rd – it cost $99,000 in addition
to the reimbursement. He thinks the town was able to shoulder that
$100,000 but it means that purchasing the loader doesn’t look
promising. If the town has any surplus and the town doesn't use it,
it has to be put toward reimbursing taxes or the town can put it
into working capital fund but the town only has $1500 left in that
line item as it has a $150,000 cap. Tom will call VLCT and confirm
the laws around how to deal with surplus. May add an agenda item
for town meeting day about how to spend surplus.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Jeremy will start shopping for
loaders to see whether it’s worth purchasing this season. Jeremy
thinks that time wise the town is cutting it close. He would have
to spend a lot of time on this ASAP to make it happen.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Dewesburg Land Records – John
Reiss brought it to Tom’s attention that in 1810 when they split
the town in two the records would be put in Danville. Tom contacted
Danville. <b> Annette moves that the Selectboard authorizes money
from the restricted fund to be used for restoration of land records
for the Dewesburg Land Records for up to $2000. David seconds. All
in favor. So moved.</b></div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Tom would like to increase the
percentage of recording fees that goes to preserving records. Right
now for every $10, $2 goes to it. Would like to increase it to 30%
to 40%. Ideally one day would have a dedicated laptop for people to
search in. He thinks would be about $4,000 for computer and
software.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Auditors – for comp time it
says not more than 40 hours of comp time but its unclear whether
its 40 hours in one year or at one time. Annette said that it is at
one time. She wrote that.
</div>
</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Preliminary Budget Idea</div>
<ol type="a">
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Annette said that through the
years, since we don’t have a town manager style of government
here the town clerks take on a lot of stuff that is really a
manager issue instead of town clerk/treasurer responsibilities.
This can be remedied with a part time position that is divided
between assistant town clerk and town administrator. The clerks are
coming up with a list of all of the things that they do that are
not part of their job description as clerks. Annette thinks this
could work out really well where the Selectboard won’t feel like
they are imposing on the hired officials. Jeremy currently has more
health insurance benefits than anybody else in his road crew. He
feels like ethically we should offer a family plan to everyone. And
to offer health insurance to Rebecca, too.</div>
