The Tenco offer is $39,528 and includes some additions and exclusions that the town requested. Pat motioned: “To accept the Tenco offer for equipment at a cost of $39,528.” Ron seconded.

review the committee’s planned expenses. With the balance of the funds in their current budget, the group plans on purchasing the snow shoes the board approved, putting on the bike rodeo and purchasing new basketball bask boards for the Smilie playground. The group sponsoring the ‘My Anti-Drug Mural’ has asked for approximately $250 to complete their project.

§ Treasurer’s Reports for February were reviewed.

§ Warrants were signed.

§ Bob Fries from Bolton Valley has asked the town about purchasing

ortho maps. The MPO has a grant program whereby the maps, which cost approximately $1100 each, are available to municipalities only at the reduced price of $250 each. The Resort is requesting 11 maps and are willing to pay the 20% that the town would ultimately be responsible for. The MPO is agreeable to this. The board is also agreeable to requesting the maps for Bolton Valley.

§ Steve Jones from the Sports Car Club is requesting permission to hold

a ‘hill climb’ on Bolton Valley Road, June 5 and 6, 2004. This event is in conjunction with the Resort and has been done before. The Board insists the Sports Car Club take responsibility for traffic control, EMS, notification to residents about the event, supply the personnel needed to man the road closed location and provide proof of insurance to the town. Deb will check with the SCC and find out exactly where on the road the race will take place and let Jones know what the town is requesting.

§ Bolton Valley had a small indoor concert on Saturday April 03, 2004.

On Thursday, Melody Croshier from BV faxed down a Special Events Permit Application and Ron signed it. Since entertainment inside is a normal function of the Resort, Jerry motioned: “To forgo the necessity of applying for a Special Events Permit for any entertainment activities held indoors at Bolton Valley.” Ron seconded. The Board concluded that outside entertainment activities would be reviewed on a case by case basis as before.

There was no other discussion, all were in favor, motion passed.
