Next was a discussion regarding a request that was made for
Marcy Field use. Mr. Ferebee explained to the Board that the
High Peaks Radio Control Club has requested using Marcy Field
for a three day event this summer, which included a Friday,
Saturday and Sunday, he said the only glitch is that due to
their insurance, no other event can be running at the same
time.
The Board Members agreed that it wouldn’t be fair to “kick
out” the Farmer’s Market, who is there on Sundays, and serves
the whole community. They said it would be okay if the Radio
Control Club wanted a Thursday, Friday and Saturday instead.

interested in the Assessor position and 3 letters of interest
for the 2 Planning Board vacancies. The Town Board authorized
Mr. Ferebee to set up interviews for these 5 individuals.

#2 project. Mr. Ferebee reminded the Board that they had adopted
a resolution to pay Lynn Edmonds the proposed $30,000 for
the land for the new water storage tank.

expenses has been figured out and comes to $3,767.46.
