New Business:
Discussion of By Laws changes. Kate thought they were recommendations, but not adopted by Selectboard.
Action: Gerry will call Ron for clarification.
Kate talked about zoning fees. She realized this wasn’t a ZBA meeting, but she wanted to make them aware that she was going to recommend dropping regular fees and increasing the more complicated permits. She recommends people pay their basic fee and for additional costs associated with permit.
They will work on zoning fees at ZBA Meeting on January 26, 2010.
