be accepting
bids.
8:00
Cemetery
Trustees - John
Thalheimer and
Terry Jelley -
discussed their budget
for 2001.
The only
major increase
in the budget is
a new line item
for signage,
including three
signs, two of
which are double
sided.
Chuck
Graybill
questioned what
would prevent
the state from
taking the signs
down.
John
Thalheimer
indicated that the
town would need
to get
permission from
the state as to
the location.
Terry Jelley
indicated that
the Page's
Corner cemetery
is set back and
difficult to see,
especially in
the spring and
summer.
Chuck
asked if the
trustees could live
with one per
year.
Mert
would like to
see one new sign
this year and two
next year.
The cost
is $2,000 per
sign. 8:20
Nick Holmes -
Ethics
Committee.
The
committee had
its first public
hearing, with
positive
responses.
Nick is
requested that
the proposed
ethics code be
on the town
warrant.
Nick
indicated that
the Code of
Ethics apply to
everyone who
represents our
town, including
volunteers as
well as
employees.
Chuck
questioned the
enforceability
of the code.
Nick
indicated that
we may need a
committee to
ensure that this
code has
"life in
it".
J.R. is
against parts of
the code and
doesn't think it
is necessary.
Mert is
in favor of
having it on the
town warrant in
a manner in
which Nick wants
it.
8:30

that Larry Cook
said to decrease
his budget by $100.

the group there.
