Meeting called to order at 7:00 p.m.

Interview with Part-Time Police Officer Candidate Joseph Rheaume. Chris Morrell introduced Joseph Rheaume to the Board. Joseph currently works with Richmond Police Dept. where he is active in the school resource program at the elementary and middle schools. He will be working part time in Hinesburg. The Board welcomed him to Hinesburg and would like to see him work with the youth in Hinesburg if his schedule allows.

William Leggett / Water & Wastewater Fees for Property on Mechanicsville Road. Bill has 2 outstanding accounts in the amounts of $666 and $605. He is looking to have these past bills adjusted as he feels if the usage was metered it would show significantly lower usage.

Rocky stated that to his knowledge when new meters were installed for all users none were installed at the trailers due to space limitations. He spoke with Bill in the past regarding installation of meters and told him some plumbing may need to be done by him before the Town can install the meters and Bill agreed to do so. Bill did not contact Rocky after that to arrange for the work to be done.

The Board agreed that as the charge for usage was made according to the water policy in place and the bills clearly showed an unmetered usage charge, the accounts must be paid. If Bill wants to make the necessary plumbing changes for meter installation, the Town will install meters for future readings and billings.

Rocky addressed the issue of need for a site plan for the Town Hall area. Kathleen Ryan, landscape architect, has been contacted to do a master site plan for a cost of $5300.

The Board questioned if the money is spent on this site plan will there still be enough money in the budget to construct the road and install the required hedge. Rocky assured the Board there will be enough funds and this is necessary to the project.

Andrea moved the Board vote to spend up to $5300 to hire Kathleen Ryan to do a master site plan for Town Hall. Second by Randy and approved.
