Arlan will check out the complaints. There was discussion about the Town’s right of way and what Town is willing to do in repairs. Julie reported that the reason the flag has been moved is because of the new tabulator. The Secretary of State replaced all tabulators. It’s bigger than the old one. She needs to get rid of the old one; as the State is not taking the old ones back. Julie reported that VHFA is doing some kind of grant that helps pay taxes, mortgage and other residential things. If someone qualifies for the VHFA grant program, they pay the vendor or town, not the qualifying person. The town needs to sign up to be an approved vendor so the town can receive this money. Tax sale is April 21st. Road Foreman: Arlan reported that Cory Naylor needs a new 15” driveway culvert and it needs to be moved. Cory put in the first one.
