Mr. Romond recommended that the Committee improve communication between our group and the town. Mrs. Carvellas added that we ask what is expected of us.
It was suggested that Mr. Romond meet with Bryan Osborne, Public Works Director, and clarify the pilot project on Mills Point, the septic system inventory.
Subcommittees
Education - it appears that UVM extension will assist to some degree, perhaps limited to working with summer community.
In general, next steps were discussed.
We need to recruit members for subcommittee:
* newspaper announcement - Mr. Nichols will write;
* contact people who have expressed interest.
We need to consider combining on-site and off-site committees.
