Town Attorney met with the Board to discuss the VCDP grant that the town is considering applying for. Fletcher outlined the points that the town should think about and how the town should go about writing a repayment plan. Larry Williams of Redstone and Bob Fries of Bolton Valley joined the meeting to continue the discussion regarding the VCDP grant. Bolton Valley is looking for a thirty- year repayment plan with zero interest. A sub-committee was formed consisting of Board members John Devine and Pat Mallow and Town Clerk Deb LaRiviere. The three will come up with some guidelines prior to the public hearing.

The Board then discussed the proposed zoning changes with Williams and Fries. They presented their ‘vision plan’ and indicated that they would like to see changes that allow development along the ‘Broadway’ section. Currently the Broadway section will be zoned as Forest with 1 dwelling per 25 acres and the area along the Access Road as RR2 with 1 dwelling per 10 acres. They would like to see the Forest District minimized and the RR2 district made larger. The Board discussed the parking problem at Bolton Valley during heavy ski times. Bob will contact Road Foreman Eric Andrews and discuss what might be done.

Fire Chief Mike Gervia met with the Board to discuss the possible  purchase of a new vehicle. He has gotten information regarding leasing pro-grams from E1 but would like to see what Bank North offers. Deb will call.

The Board signed off on the 2003-04 Grand List.

The Town is in need of a rep for the Chittenden Solid Waste District.
