      9,681.78
      Taxes: 5,043.57
      IRA: 2,164.00
    6. Department/Liaison Updates
      Highway: Truck Sale: Allegiance wants the code, which Rick sent. Henry Cesari has yet to get a new
      number of what price Allegiance would pay for the truck. Put a for sale sign on it? Put it on a list serve?
      Put it on VT Local Roads? Action: Sell truck soon. Mowing: Cesari stated Vershire might be done with
      their mowing machine and might rent it to us. Cesari stated he could get a cost estimate from Vershire.
      Cole stated townsfolk are concerned about mowing in general. How much is mowing costing? How
      much mowing is being done? The Recreation Committee has not responded about mowing costs. Road
      Crew employees doing the mowing could be costing us more. Mark Whitney stated he wants to
      compare costs between town road crew mowing and contractors mowing. Cole stated public works
      dept. is an option. Cesari stated people have asked the Selectboard to use ARPA money for mowing. This
      would be problematic, but we could do it. Frank Keene stated the cemeteries have the best mowing
      crew they’ve ever had. Keene suggests no changes to cemeteries mowing.
      Transfer Station: Cole stated safety cones and high visibility vests for employees are requested. Cones
      for safety in front of the compactors. Clayton stated street signs with metal poles would be better for
      safety. Vehicles backing up and hitting the metal doors on the compactors, or people that may be
      standing there, is the safety problem. Action: procure vests and metal signs. Bear remediation
      container: Clayton stated there is a piece missing from the shed and it has yet to be assembled. Clayton
      stated people should say something if they think something will not work, like the bear shed. Other
      solutions to the problem can be considered. There is no personal investment in one solution over
      another.
      Riverside Cemetery/Bridge: Clayton stated the bridge is on a town right of way. Clayton recommends
      allowing the VAST snowmobile group to expand the bridge. Cole stated some months ago we approved
      the use of Bradshaw Crossroad to expand the VAST trail. Kate MacLean, previous Selectboard member,
      advocated limited ATV and snow machine use at Bradshaw Crossroad in November 2020. That is in the
      minutes and the Selectboard has not heard any complaints about that action. Because of that action in
      November 2020, we need a motion for this. Clayton stated VAST people will have to go thru the DRB and
      advise the adjoining landowners.
      Geoff Clayton moved to approve the VAST request to expand and improve the “North Snow Machine
      Bridge” (Riverside access bridge) for snowmobile use, provided the project meets all State
      requirements and any Town Zoning requirements. Mark Whitney seconded the motion. Motion
      passed unanimously.
      Frank Keene stated the snowmachine club is not paying for a different bridge at present. I’m not sure it’s
      necessary to go thru the DRB. Clayton stated the request is to widen the bridge. We need to see the
      plans. Keene stated Pat Ross needs to approve it, and then they can just build it. Keene asked is the
      snowmobile club paying for it? Yes.
      Pear Ridge Productions/Adventure Dinners: Request to Cater Malt, Vinous and/or Spirituous Liquors;
      violation follow-up: Clayton summarized action taken since the last Selectboard meeting. Clayton stated
      a letter was written to the VT DLC about the violation (serving liquor without an approved liquor license)
      on June 25, 2022. The VT DLC response was a fine of $260.
      Bruce Hook stated he wanted to know what the Town will do. Cole stated he would not advocate for
      another license at this point. Merrill Whitney stated we told them no. I don’t think there is another
      question. We should notify the State that it should not happen again. Clayton stated I would like to
      recuse myself from dealing with Longest Acres Farm. Cole stated if we have future issues with this
      applicant Mark Whitney will be the lead person. Tyler Hook asked are they applying for another license
      for July 22? Yes.
    7. Public Comments
      Frank Keene stated there are problems with speeding vehicles on Maple Avenue. One came over the
      bridge fast enough so that the wheels slammed down on the other side. This has been happening on
      several occasions. Can the 15 mph area be extended?
      Cole stated All the roads are listed out in the traffic ordinance. If we change anything with the speed
      limits, we must modify the ordinance.
      Keene stated some of the other roads say 35 mph.
      Cole stated Yes. All the unmarked roads are 35 mph. Cole explained he recently checked the traffic
      ordinance for another speeding complaint on Hall Road. Henry Cesari asked about the possibility of
      changing the traffic rules without changing the ordinance. Cesari will check into this. Cole stated some
      roads are enumerated specifically.
      Keene stated there was a hard rain last night. Highland on the further end took a beating. I may need
      some gravel. I’ll get the tractor out and work on the road in the morning.
      Cole stated if this will be specific to the cemetery, make sure Rick gets a reimbursement for the Highway
      Dept.
    8. Town Commons Tree Inventory with Peter Amber (walk to the Greens to inspect tree conditions)
      Cole stated there is some controversy about the trees/Greens. We are being told the trees are dying for
      a number of reasons: climate change, soil compaction, salt. Whitney suggested put in the Use of the
      Village Greens request form, that you cannot drive on the Greens. Cole suggested a public service
      announcement. It was noted, there exists a town policy that Selectboard approval is necessary to drive
      on the Greens.
      Peter Amber stated whatever you can stop (drought, soil compaction, salt) you should. We should plant
      the right tree in the right place. Salt tolerant, drought tolerant trees. Amber named the varieties of trees
      and pointed out which were doing well, which were dying, what types of trees that should replace the
      dying trees, what growth habits should go in what location. Amber provided a thorough and extensive
      overview of the South and North Commons for the Selectboard that ended around 8:52 pm. Amber
      recommended to knock down the dead sugar maple, start a replanting program of Celebration Maples.
      Topsoil, reseeding, fertilizing trees, and pruning and cutting was also discussed.
      Cole stated he would like for this board to take action on a plan for the Greens, parks maintenance, and
      tree purchases. Mark Whitney will put something together for the town, considering tree planting and
      best practices for tree and Greens maintenance. Amber stated he donated some trees previously,
      including a spruce tree near the church. The church offered to pay me to dig the spruce up and get a
      prettier tree as a replacement. The Selectboard agreed Mark Whitney will take the lead on approving
      this on behalf of the board.
    9. Administrative Assistant Report
      United Church of Chelsea requests use of the Village Green for August 6, from 12 to 8 pm, for an Ice
      Cream Social. Approved.
      Chelsea Area Senior Citizens Center requests use of the Village Green, from 1-3 pm, for nine Tuesdays
      beginning August 2, and ending Sept. 27, for Senior Croquet. Approved.
      Moxley Bridge file presented to Selectboard. (Geoff Clayton). VTrans requests Selectboard action about
      right of way, and Chelsea Questionaire. Action: Selectboard is in agreement that a Moxley Bridge rehab
      is not desired by the Town of Chelsea. Selectboard is in agreement that other bridge work is more
      pressing. Selectboard will contact VTrans.
      Liquor License request to Cater Malt, Vinous and/or Spirituous Liquors for an event date July 22, 2022 at
      Longest Acres Farm. Request by Adventure Dinner, same vendor as last license request. Letter written
      by Sas Stewart, caterer, to the Selectboard apologizing for late paperwork for the previous catering
      permit, and describing her catering business and the dinner event was presented by Admin. Assistant.
      Henry Cesari moved to approve the Request to Cater Malt, Vinous and/or Spirituous Liquors by Pear
      Ridge Productions/Adventure Diner for a July 22, 2022 event at Longest Acres Farm. Merrill Whitney
      seconded the motion. 1 yes (Cesari), 3 no (Whitney, Whitney, Cole), 1 recusal (Clayton). Motion does
      not pass.
      Discussion: Cesari stated with this second request, I don’t think bureaucracy is a good way to punish
      people. Merrill Whitney stated they went ahead and knowingly served alcohol without a license. And
      now they want another one. Cesari stated I think it’s our job to say ok unless it impacts the town. Mark
      Whitney stated it did impact the town. If this was a bar, we would say no. They basically thumbed their
      nose at the authority of the Selectboard. I have strong feelings against that. Clayton recused himself.
      Town web site link follow up: Cole stated I recommend we continue our policy of no advertising or links
      on the Town website. If the town had a chamber of commerce, I could support a link on the chamber of
      commerce’s website. Mark Whitney stated he was in agreement. It’s not our place to be promoting or
      not promoting business. Action: Leave policy as is. Cole will notify Cindy Allen.
      Window Dressers: Cole stated where to store the plastic window inserts is an issue. We will not store
      them upstairs. Whitney stated the Town Hall shutters might be an issue as well. Clayton stated he had
      previously ordered some window inserts for a company, and he believes in the long term inserts would
      save us $1,100. But, we are not really heating this space. We should meet in the library in the winter.
      Mark Whitney stated several times when we opened up the Town Hall for Meetings, the heat was up to
      70 degrees, with all lights off. Cole stated he was thinking of putting lock boxes on the thermostats.
      Whitney asked if the inserts are rugged enough to last for a while. Cesari stated there will be other
      chances to save on heating costs. No action taken.
      Randy Brown, Maple Avenue Springs request: Cole stated we have considered this at two meetings.
      Randy Brown did not attend either meeting. We are not directing our employees to have a meeting with
      Brown. If Brown wants to attend and make a request, he can do so under public comments.
      Mark Whitney stated the most reasonable thing would be a dead end sign. Whitney stated a UPS truck
      might have a hard time turning around there, and a sign would help drivers. Cole stated crime is partially
      controlled with environmental design. Placing a dead end sign is telling people it’s ok to go up there and
      do crimes because there is no thru traffic. Statistically, when you put up a dead end sign, bad things start
      happening. Geoff Clayton stated there are already concerns at the end of that road. A dead end sign
      would not do much either way. No action taken.
      Window Washing: Written window washing bid presented by Blakely’s Window Service because the
      Library is having the window’s washed, and at the same time an estimate for the Town Hall and the
      Town Clerk’s Office was offered. Action: Check with custodian. Perhaps a telescoping pole with a
      squeegee, or power wash.
      Regarding speed limit road signs, in response to an email request from Carolyn Boothroyd, Mark
      Whitney stated the State’s recommendation for 15mph is to place a speed bump. Action: email reply to
      Carolyn Boothroyd.
    10. Approve minutes
      Geoff Clayton moved to approve the minutes of July 5, 2022. Levar Cole seconded the motion. Motion
      passed unanimously.
    11. Town Treasurer
      Budget and Orders: Treasurer recommends option 2 for propane fuel fixed price plan. The set price
      would be $2.10 for 2157 gallons. There is an optional downsize protection plan. The Town used 3,000
      gallons last year. Selectboard has questions. Action: Mark Whitney will ask Treasurer where the propane
      is used. Treasurer’s recommendation is our decision.
    12. Appointments
      None.
    13. Executive Session for Human Resources
      Henry Cesari moved to enter Executive Session for Human Resources and inviting Marianne McCann
      into the session. Mark Whitney seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously.
      Levar Cole moved to exit Executive Session. Mark Whitney seconded the motion. Motion passed
      unanimously.
      Afterwards, Cesari will direct Road Foreman that the water sewer people will use the tractor to get the
      work accomplished. Cesari will direct Road Foreman to limit work to no more than 40 hours. Cesari will
      direct Road Foreman that he must be informed when Water Dept. needs a substitute worker. Mark
      Whitney will research potential mowing contract for town mowing. Admin. Asst. will make an RFP for
      mowing and snowplowing.
    14. Adjourn
      Meeting adjourned at 10:32 pm.
      Next regularly scheduled Selectboard Meeting will be Tuesday, August 2, 2022 at 7:30 pm in the Chelsea
      Town Hall.

    6. Department/Liaison Updates
      Town Forest Plan: Mark Whitney stated Kate Willard has been helping organize the Forest Plan. Kate
      Willard stated Dave Paganelli, Orange County Forester, has completed an inventory of the Chelsea Town
      Forest.
      Dave Paganelli addressed the Board, summarizing the history of the Town Forest. There are two parcels,
      and previous wood species, dates, and timber sales were noted. Paganelli stated it is ready to cut again.
      Paganelli also stated Moose are getting a lot of the young hardwoods. He advises someone ought to
      start shooting the moose. Paganelli noted a culvert is blocked and there is erosion gullying in the road
      path. He advises the Town to deal with unblocking and/or increasing the size of the culvert, as it will
      effect travel and the timber sale. Paganelli also noted a landing is plugged up with debris, and asked if
      the Town wanted that blocked off, or is that temporary? Rick Ackerman stated the Road crew has been
      putting stuff there, and will clear the landing with an excavator. Paganelli noted that the tree cutting
      should be done in the next year or two. The Town is advised to not wait 5-10 years. Ash Borer is on
      Chelsea’s doorstep.
      Action: Dave Paganelli wants to know the direction the Town wants to go with respect to the timber sale
      and the management plan. Paganelli will draft a Town Forest Management Plan and deliver to the
      Selectboard.
      Action: Mark Whitney is taking the lead on the Town Forest. Whitney will make a recommendation to
      the Selectboard after the Town Forest Plan is finished and public comments are heard.
      Cindy Allen asked if there will be walking trails in the town forests. Paganelli replied timber sales require
      access for equipment. If the trails are left open, not choked with brush, those trails could be for
      recreational use. We can set it up with the trails in mind, if that is what the Town requests, then the
      Town can finish up the trails. Cole stated the Town is considering trails. Andy Pomerantz stated the snow
      machine club has been helpful with trail maintenance in the past. Kate Willard stated the reason to have
      Paganelli do an inventory is to provide information to the Town in consideration of more public trails, as
      well as tree management. Phillip Mulligan asked if we could maintain a certain amount of larger trees,
      or legacy trees. Paganelli stated wildlife trees and legacy trees are tallied and included in the Forest Plan.
      Emerald Ash Borer: Mark Lembke, Town Tree Warden, passed out examples of the Emerald Ash Borer
      insect, examples of bark damage, and a paper titled “Town of Chelsea, Ash Tree Inventory, July 5, 2022”.
      Lembke stated he performed an ash tree survey in Chelsea along a 5.8 mile loop, that represents 10% of
      the total miles of Chelsea Class 3 roads. Ash trees were counted within the town road right of way. The
      survey showed 284 trees counted, with Lembke estimating that there would be about 2,840 trees total
      along the roads in Chelsea.
      Cole asked if Lembke will make a recommendation to the Selectboard. Lembke advised that some
      neighboring towns have started funds to prepare. Lembke advised putting some money aside to take
      some of the trees down. Lembke has not found a grant to cover this.
      Mark Whitney asked how fast is it moving through a forest that is thinner on ash? Would that slow it
      down? Or, are the ash trees doomed, no matter what? Paganelli stated the ash trees are probably
      doomed no matter what. Small trees will be unaffected. Infested trees will be damaged and ash does
      not hold together structurally, so effected trees are not safe to cut with a chainsaw after three years. In
      the woods, they will just fall down. Near the roads, it’s much more difficult to take the trees down.
      Paganelli stated some towns have hired Limlaw to take trees down on gravel roads. The power company
      would be responsible to take down the trees in the power line right of way.
      Cindy Allen asked if the landowner would have any ash tree responsibility. Allen stated some
      landowners may want to take their own trees down and use them for firewood. Some would want the
      wood. Some would not.
      Lembke explained he will not be recommending the removal of trees leaning away from the roads as
      they do not pose a hazard to the road. Lembke said when the hazard trees are cut from the right of way,
      the wood still belongs to the landowners, who can request it be removed or left in place.
      Highway- Truck sale – Roadside Mowing: Rick Ackerman asked, since Henry is not here, what is going on
      with the truck? Cole stated we will have Henry give you a call. I will be the back up person. Ackerman
      stated Vershire might be done with their tractor in a few weeks. There is a possibility we could use that
      for roadside mowing. Ackerman also stated Ken DeGrasse can go up to the Town Forest and put in a
      bigger culvert.
      Transfer Station: Geoff Clayton stated Snook requested an increase in Kristianne Gale’s hours by one
      hour for the summer. They have actually been saving us money by being able to more closely monitor
      the quantity of trash being put in the compactors/containers. Clayton also stated the bear protection
      shed for the compost has been purchased for $549. Clayton stated he and Snook will assemble the shed.
      Anyone can volunteer to help. Clayton stated it is possible that the bears could tear the whole thing
      apart.
      ARPA Outreach: Phillip Mulligan and Andy Pomerantz presented a list of ideas for spending ARPA
      money. The list is based on public input from a June 14th meeting, and other public input, organized, but
      not prioritized. Mulligan stated people are mostly interested in making an investment in the community.
      Mulligan suggested hiring a “clerk of the works” for overseeing a complicated project, if a complicated
      project is chosen. Pomerantz stated there are people who are really invested in certain projects. It
      would be possible to develop a list serve of interested persons. Vital Communities might help with this.
      Although this list is in the context of ARPA, there are lots of ways we could pursue these ideas.
      Cole stated the Selectboard is still getting feedback from townspeople that they want to spend ARPA
      money on (operating) costs. Washington is telling us to spend the money right away, due to inflation.
      We could use the money for matching funds for grants. For example, the sewer plant upgrades. We
      might get a grant for that. We would consider using ARPA funds in addition to the reserve fund for the
      matching portion. Thank you for your work collecting this public input. We are keeping all of this in
      mind.
      Clayton stated some of these ideas we might want to include in the Town Plan. Maybe food resources
      could be put in the town plan. Everything is not going to be accomplished with ARPA money.
      Mulligan suggested the Selectboard make a date for final proposals for ARPA projects. The Board agreed
      to put this on the agenda for September 20, 2022.
    7. Public Comments
      Phillip Mulligan stated he measured the windows in the Town Hall for the Window Dressers plastic
      window inserts. Even if we did half of the windows it would make a big difference. We could create
      some sort of storage for the inserts. The Selectboard would have to address that in the next month or
      so. Mulligan submitted an invoice to the Town.
      Phillip Mulligan stated he has contacted VLCT about an energy audit for the Town Garage.
      Andy Pomerantz asked about the format for the ATV Vote Informational Hearing Meeting. Should he
      prepare a presentation for the Informational Hearing? Cole stated the Informational Hearing would be
      run like a regular Selectboard Meeting. We will open it up to Public Comment.
      Bruce Hook asked a question, maybe for the zoning administrator, regarding Longest Acre Farm. Is the
      barn on the land which is zoned agricultural a commercial business? When you start serving dinner for
      170 dollars a plate, I don’t believe it’s agricultural. There is a problem with serving dinner and alcohol
      without a license. What will be done about this?
      Cole stated, to confirm, this complaint is about Longest Acre Farm and your concern is it appears as if
      there is commercial activity, not farming/agricultural activity.
      Mark Whitney sought clarification this was about the existing barn, as opposed to the new barn.
      Cole stated the Selectboard did not approve the Liquor License. That license was not given to us in time
      for approval. This board has not taken up issues prior to being warned and on the agenda.
      Bruce Hook stated I saw the flyer. Is there a fine?
      Geoff Clayton stated the liquor control for the state will be called. We will put this on the next agenda.
      Jeremy Hook asked if he came back in two weeks, would this issue be resolved?
      Cole stated we cannot commit to a time. We don’t know what Clayton will find out. We will put it on the
      next agenda.
      Mark Whitney asked do you know for sure that liquor was served? A flyer was presented.
      Cole asked Hook to give us whatever information you would like to support your statements.
      Cindy Allen stated Heidi Chapman has started a group to publish a newsletter. The newsletter will be
      quarterly, with the first issue planned for October 1st. The newsletter would like to list the organizations
      and businesses in Chelsea. There are 50 Chelsea businesses that Allen came up with. The newsletter
      requests to have a link on the Town of Chelsea Website.
      Cole stated the previous Selectboard had a policy of no links, no advertisements, on the Town website.
      We will bring this up again for discussion.
      Clayton stated the physical phone books were the old way to spread contact information. That would be
      nice to have.
      Clint Rogers stated he previously spoke to Geoff Clayton, Selectboard member, regarding widening a
      bridge for the snow machine trail. Rogers stated he already had approval for the trail up to the bridge.
      Rogers stated the bridge is a public right of way. Rogers is waiting for permission from the Selectboard,
      after which he will proceed with paperwork and constructing the wider bridge. Rogers stated there is
      some urgency to this request, as the season is 5 months away.
      Clayton stated he thought Rogers was going to talk to the landowners. Clayton stated we need to make
      sure that’s a town bridge. We need to get the permits from the State. Clayton stated he will double
      check and get back to Rogers.
      Kate Willard stated she would like help getting public input on the town forests and trails.
    8. Executive Session for Human Resources
      Outgoing Zoning Administrator, Tim McCormick, stated there are loose ends in the applications.
      McCormick suggests he meet with the new Zoning Administrator and go over the computer set up and
      ongoing permit applications. McCormick stated he will be in this Friday, and that would be his ultimate
      last day. I sat down one morning with my predecessor, and I will do the same for the next ZA. Action:
      Selectboard states as long as you have the records available for the next person, that is acceptable.
      McCann suggests officially turning in the keys and laptop at the end of the day, Friday, in order to avoid
      another trip to town.

    Selectboard Meeting Minutes June 21, 2022

    Chelsea Selectboard Meeting Minutes
    Tuesday, June 21, 2022, 7:30 pm at Town Hall
    Selectboard Members present: Levar Cole, Mark Whitney, Merrill Whitney, Geoff Clayton
    Other Town Officials/Employees present: Marianne McCann (Administrative Assistant) (Herald), Gayle
    Durkee (Treasurer), Karen Lathrop (Town Clerk)
    Members of the public present: Kasey Peterson

    1. Call Meeting to Order
      Meeting convened by Levar Cole at 7:35 pm.
    2. Conflict of Interest Disclosure
      None.
    3. Changes to the Agenda
      Add a couple items to Admin. Asst. Add Liquor license to Town Clerk section. Add Treasurer. Add
      Transfer Station.
    4. Town Clerk
      Karen Lathrop presented a packet of information regarding dog licensing and dog violation complaints
      (tickets). The Animal Control Officer had requested information on the process of fines or penalties for
      dog owners who are not in compliance with the law. Lathrop presented ticket books and written steps
      to move forward with ticketing. Lathrop also presented a report listing 33 dogs that are unlicensed, and
      a copy of a “Second Notice” letter she is sending out to dog owners, showing license fees and delinquent
      fees. Lathrop stated we were very nice to people during Covid, and now no one wants to license their
      dog.
      Mark Whitney stated this is actually two issues. 1.The nuisance issue. 2. The license issue.
      Geoff Clayton stated the biggest concern is people who are not controlling their dogs. Problem animals
      are the highest priority. We should give out the tickets.
      Lathrop stated the Town Clerk is not enforcement. Someone needs to show the Animal Officer how to
      fill out the ticket. The ticket must be handed to the person, or certified mail. Animal Officer must appear
      in court. We need to have a certified copy of the ordinance.
      Board members mentioned instances of residents notifying Town Clerk of deceased dogs, and the
      deceased dogs remained on the unlicensed list. Cole summarized by stating there is no interest from the
      board to address the license issue at this point. Perhaps there is something we can do to help with
      record-keeping. The board will address the problem animals first. The license issue can be put on the
      agenda again.
      A liquor license request was received just this afternoon (June 21) for an event on June 25. A copy of the
      request was emailed to Selectboard members at 3:41 pm. Selectboard members did not see the
      information prior to the meeting. There was no motion made. There was no action taken.
    5. Department/Liaison Updates
      Levar Cole stated Henry Cesari is not here, but we have been in contact, and I will relay what he told me.
      Cesari is still working to sell the truck. Allegiance is working with him. What about the engine light?
      Remember the board must approve any more expense for this truck. We should not be paying an
      invoice for an engine light.
      Cesari and Cole previously discussed sidewalk snow removal. As a town government, we are obligated
      by statute to maintain the sidewalk. We can make it a shared obligation. We must have an ordinance.
      We are required to meet the ADA sidewalk standard. We want to do that. Cesari will see if people can
      volunteer to do certain sections. Or, we will make changes in budgeting.
      Cole stated Cesari also mentioned that folks in town are upset about the lack of roadside mowing. He is
      aware that there is a petition to use ARPA money for roadside mowing. That would be a non-binding
      petition. If we use ARPA money for roadside mowing, the people in town that want big projects to get
      done, will have to know there will not be enough money left.
      Clayton stated we will be in the hole. I will not support anything but maintain our town and capital
      improvements. We cannot go into next year with a big deficit.
      Gayle Durkee stated Chelsea does not have any money left in the budget for heating fuel, diesel fuel, or
      gravel.
      Mark Whitney stated there are minor safety issues at some intersections. People can take care of these
      themselves.
      Clayton volunteered to weed whack at intersections, if necessary.
      Cole stated, given inflation, we do not know what the cost of roadside mowing will be. It will cost more
      this year. Also, availability of equipment is an issue.
      Re: Grant Writing and Administration
      Kasey Peterson Introduced herself to the board. Peterson briefly explained her grant application for the
      Town Hall. Peterson described a visit with Meeting House Restoration. The balcony needs to be cleaned
      out before an estimate could be given. A good idea for fundraising was given. People buy a chair. As a
      fundraiser, you buy a chair, you get your name on the chair for a donation. We might be able to match
      the grant that way. I’m not sure what else to work on.
      5a. Treasurer:
      Gayle Durkee stated we got locks for the Transfer Station. Combination and master key.
      Order Amounts totalling:
      Payroll 6-22 2,866.73
      6-15 6,149.18
      4,483.92
      6-8 3,324.39
      General Orders 6-22 28,118.24
      Highway 6-22 15,558.08
      Water/Sewer 6-22 1,251.40
      Library Payroll 6-15 1.177.94
      Accounts Payable 377.71
      Cole wondered if Cesari can call Allegiance and ask about the invoice amounts. Cole noted Cesari is
      looking for other providers that will be better able (closer and cheaper) to service vehicles for us.
      Re: Transfer Station
      Geoff Clayton stated the bears keep getting into the compost.
      Geoff Clayton moved that the Selectboard approve a cost of up to $750.00 for a shed to enclose the
      compost, with the understanding that Snook will be a second person approving the purchase. Levar
      Cole seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously.
      Clayton briefly explained his idea of purchasing a metal shed for around $499 and materials needed to
      beef up the door to make it stronger. That’s the basis for the suggested amount of $750. Clayton and
      Snook will go and get one and install it.
      Mark Whitney requested that the Town Forrest be put on the agenda for the July 5th Selectboard
      Meeting.
    6. Public Comments
      None.
    7. Administrative Assistant
      Two Village Greens requests presented and signed. One for an event on 6-20-22. Another for an event
      on 7-3-22, a “God and Country Worship Service and Cookout” on the North Common.
      One Roberts Gould Field request presented and signed. Chelsea Flea Market parking set up and event on
      July 8 and July 9.
      Special Town Meeting Logistics: Cole stated the Town Hall set up is scheduled. McCann presented a
      draft warning for the informational hearing before the vote, which must be warned separately. Cole
      made changes. McCann will edit and re-present for approval to the board. Brief discussion about what
      date the notices should appear in the newspaper. The Informational Hearing on July 25 and the
      Australian Ballot vote on July 26 are posted on the town website calendar, and posted around town on
      the bulletin boards.
      ARPA citizen advisory committee debrief: McCann summarized the Public Input Meeting that was held
      on Tuesday, June 14 for the Selectboard. There were over 40 people in attendance. In this
      “brainstorming session”, the majority of the ideas presented were initial and vague. The organizers will
      have more meetings and then make a presentation to the Selectboard.
      A list of grant projects underway and grant applications pending, with amounts expected for matching
      funds was prepared for the Selectboard. McCann stated that when a grant opportunity came through
      the email, she was forwarding the information to the relevant people in Chelsea.
      Levar Cole moved to approve the orders. Mark Whitney seconded the motion. Motion passed
      unanimously.
    8. Approve minutes
      Levar Cole moved to approve the May 31, 2022 Selectboard Meeting Minutes. Geoff Clayton seconded
      the motion. Motion passed unanimously.
      Levar Cole moved to approve the June 7, 2022 Selectboard Meeting Minutes. Geoff Clayton seconded

    Selectboard Meeting Minutes – June 7, 2022

    Chelsea Selectboard Meeting Minutes
    Tuesday, June 7, 2022, 7:30 pm at Chelsea Town Hall
    Selectboard Members present: Levar Cole, Merrill Whitney, Mark Whitney, Geoff Clayton, Henry Cesari
    Other Town Officials/Employees present: Marianne McCann (Administrative Assistant)(Herald)
    Members of the Public present: Gregg Herrin

    1. Call Meeting to Order
      Meeting convened by Levar Cole at 7:35 pm.
    2. Conflict of Interest Disclosure
      None.
    3. Changes to the Agenda
      Admin. Assistant adds a couple items. Geoff Clayton adds presenting information on the riverbank
      erosion near the horseshoe area under Hazard Mitigation.
    4. Town Treasurer
      Orders presented.
    5. Department Liaison Updates
      Re: Highway Dept. Henry Cesari stated no offers for the truck for sale have been received yet. Cesari
      proposed sending a letter out to Chelsea residents explaining the highway budget issues and what the
      Selectboard is doing to save money. Sample letter presented. Brief discussion about sample letter.
      Clayton suggested presenting a cost comparison between our highway dept. and other towns highway
      depts. Cole stated in the unlikely event that we have a surplus this year, we could carry a cost over into
      the next year. It’s likely we will have a deficit. Next year it will cost more. Clayton stated we need to
      clarify with Road Foreman re: grading. The Highway dept. needs to not be hesitant on grading.
      Henry Cesari moved to approve a letter to the Town of Chelsea regarding the Highway budget and a
      notice about the roadside mowing. Motion seconded by Mark Whitney. Motion passed unanimously.
      Action: Prepare letter on letterhead for signing Thursday night.
      Action: Henry Cesari will contact Road Foreman, making it clear that roads should be passable even if
      running a budget deficit.
      Discussion about gravel stockpile at the Town Garage.
      Re: White River Valley Consortium. Levar Cole reported the history and the state of the Consortium of
      the 14 towns in the White River Valley which are working together to apply for funding from the Federal
      Reserve. Cole stated the group’s vision for the current round of funding is housing. Vital Communities is
      doing all the legwork. Housing options are being investigated. Towns owning housing? Accessory
      dwelling units? Ways to reduce costs and make housing available? Workshop on June 30th. Goal for that
      meeting is to re-connect with Selectboards and organizations. If there is any interest, Cole will forward
      info.
      Re: Creamery/School Water Drain. Geoff Clayton stated he is waiting for copies of the deeds. The drain
      was made so long ago that there might not be easements in the deeds. Clayton stated the stark legal
      reality is that the Town does not own either parcel. The drain is on the school property and the Button
      property. Clayton stated water has been going under that building for 50 or 60 years. The issue is
      between Button and the school. Clayton stated there is no connection between the town and the
      Creamery and the drain. Henry Cesari stated the Selectboard does not have responsibility for this issue.
      The drain should continue somewhere and then flow into the river.
      Action: Clayton will contact Button. For hazard mitigation, flooding, maybe there is a grant available.
      Action: Drop this item from the agenda for now.
      Gregg Herrin stated he was interested in understanding the water drain issue. It was suggested Herrin
      could offer another opinion to Mr. Button.
      Re: Riverbank erosion at the Horseshoe/Sewer Plant. Geoff Clayton recommends shoring up the
      riverbank, likely with rip-rap. Clayton suggests maybe it’s a use of ARPA money.
      Gregg Herrin stated if adding rip-rap to protect that area, you might also want to look at where the
      water is directed from and where it will be directed to. The State will come up with a plan.
      Clayton stated that one thing that has changed over the years is that the horseshoe area has enlarged
      and bushes with roots that stabilize the bank have been removed. Clayton suggests this might be a use
      of ARPA money.
      Re: Grant Writing and Administration: Levar Cole spoke with Kasey Peterson. There is no feedback yet
      about the status of the Town Hall Grant. Cole suggested to the board that when we have Peterson do
      more work we pay her at the same rate. Cole seeks continued approval of the board to deal with further
      grant writing work. Kasey Peterson will attend the next Selectboard meeting at June 21. Bridge grant
      possibilities are being investigated.
    6. Public Comments
      None.
    7. Administrative Assistant Report
      Special Town Meeting: June 9th at 7pm at the Town Hall. Floor vote to decide if Chelsea will vote in the
      future by Australian Ballot. Town is prepared.
      ARPA citizen advisory group meeting date is Tuesday, June 14th at 7pm in the Town Hall. Action: Admin.
      Assistant will put on calendar on Chelsea website. Also, paper versions on bulletin boards.
      Downtown and Village Center Tax Credits: Kasey Peterson reviewed paperwork. Not for Municipal
      buildings. Potential money for private property owners in Downtown and Village Center areas. Deadline
      for application is July 1, 2022. Interested people should go to the Vermont Agency of Commerce and
      Community Development website for more information.
      Letter of Intent to Participate in the SFY23 Municipal Roads Grants-in-aid program was presented to the
      Selectboard to sign. Deadline to submit is June 24, 2022. This is for a multi-year project with
      hydrologically connected road segments. Action: Selectboard agreed and signed letter of intent.
      Prouty Map showing route through town has been distributed to Fire, Highway, and Police, as requested
      by Prouty. Prouty bicycle ride will be Friday July 8, 2022.
      A sample job description was presented to the Selectboard as a language example of a job that
      combined two departments into one job for one employee. Brief discussion about a Public Works
      Director and supervisory roles.
      Geoff Clayton stated The First Branch Ambulance and/or the Fire Department want to have a Fourth of
      July Parade. Clayton asked if they have to get a permit? How would we plan for this? Mark Whitney
      stated he went to the Tunbridge Memorial Day parade and chicken barbeque. Whitney expressed the
      view that Chelsea should be able to have a Fourth of July Parade. Clayton agreed. It was suggested to
      piggyback an event with the Chelsea Flea Market. It was suggested to have a dance in the Town Hall.
      Action: In general, the Selectboard supports these kind of community events. No specific plans.
    8. Approve Minutes
      Approval of the May 31st Selectboard Meeting minutes moved to the next Selectboard meeting agenda.
    9. Appointments
      None.
    10. Executive Session

      McCann into the Executive Session. Seconded by Mark Whitney. Motion passed unanimously.
      Geoff Clayton moved to exit Executive Session. Mark Whitney seconded the motion. Motion passed
      unanimously.
      Afterwards, no action was taken.
