Marvin Withers called the meeting to order at 6:00 pm. Selectboard present were, Doug Pastula, Marvin Withers, Michael K Walsh and Steve Larrabee. Also present were Merton Leonard, and visitors Barb and Gary Fontaine.

 Michael K Walsh moved to accept the minutes of the January 21st meeting as written; Steve Larrabee seconded the motion, which was approved. Michael K Walsh moved to accept the minutes of the January 26th meeting as written; Doug Pastula seconded the motion, which was approved.

 Andrea Lawrence returned to request an answer to her previous day time rental request for the town hall. She proposed to use the town hall auditorium for a small group of dancers on Tuesday afternoons. Denise had made a list of proposed special requirements for daytime usage but there wasn't a copy available at the Feb 4th meeting. After some discussion in which the Board expressed their concerns again, they tabled any action until the next meeting when Denise would be present.

 Kevin's written road report noted that things remain rather quiet at the garage, still waiting for the next big storm to arrive here. The crew has been doing various things, including painting the garage walls, fixing and painting the "Men Working" signs and barricades where needed, welding on plow frames, and continued cleaning and organizing the garage. Kevin noted that Donald and Bill attended an automotive painting certification class, now required by EPA for spray painting equipment in the garage.  The backhoe will also be getting some scheduled repairs next week.

Merton reported that he has had additional correspondence with the Danville, Quebec representatives, as they continue planning for their big 150th anniversary on July 3rd. They are looking for a commitment from the local people to attend their festivities. Merton had retrieved information from the 100th celebration, where a hundred people from Vermont went to Quebec. Seems that was quite an event and appears they are looking to duplicate that celebration. Merton also reported that in 2002 several people from Quebec journeyed down to Vermont and spent the day, had lunch at the town hall, and have returned to several Autumn on the Greens. They have maintained contact with several local people as well.

The Board reviewed the expenditures and signed the orders. The Board also reviewed the 2009 Waste Water Treatment Budget expenditures and the 2010 proposed budget for this year. Michael K Walsh moved to approve the Waste Water Treatment Budget as presented, Doug Pastula seconded the motion which was approved.

              With no other business, the Board adjourned the meeting at 7:05pm.

             Respectfully Submitted,

Merton Leonard

Clerk of the Selectboard
