Tree Growth. After talking to the Assessors and Ms. Flint and contacting several state agencies, Ms. Curtis had called to say that the state will not be paying us what we expected for Tree Growth and will be short on Revenue reimbursements for 2007. This will leave the Town short a possible $25,000. Warren Noble asked if a comparison with other towns could be made concerning percentage payments by tax payers who own Tree Growth properties.

Warren Noble acting for the Budget Committee was present and asked that Ms. Curtis supply the ledgers including income and expenditures for 2007.

A final letter has gone out from the Lawyer to Judith Smith concerning the Knights Hill Road Property formerly owned by Mr. Jewett. She still has not signed the necessary documents.

A quote has been received from Galen Burke for the Town Meeting House Roof. It included putting felt over the existing shingles. $13,000 for an Imperial design roof, $18,000 for a ribbed standing seam roof. Questions were raised about the advantage of removing old shingles and about felt vs. Bituthene® (bitchathane). Other quotes are anticipated.
