---Action: Discussion:  VLCT wants to work with towns to purchase salt at the same rate the state purchases it for.  VLCT needs a figure from each town on how much salt they will approximately use.  They want each Town to take at least 80% of what they quote them they will use.  Bob made a motion that we quote VLCT 500 Tons.  Tom seconded.  Motion passed unanimously. 

---Action: Discussion:  Andrew Peterson handed the Select Board a Boundary Line Adjustment Document he created.  He wanted the Board to approve it.  The Select Board didn’t take any action on it.  The Select Board wants it to be brought to the planning commission immediately so they can take action on it, because it has to be done through the planning commission.
