WOODBURY ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
Date: June 17, 2026
Re: Swenson Granite Company, LLC, Michael Sylvester
Application: September 9, 2025 – Amendment to Non-Conforming Use Approval
Summary:
On September 9, 2025, an application was submitted by the above landowners, requesting
amendments to the previously existing approval for Non-Conforming Use. On September 11,
2025, the application was referred by the Zoning Administrator, Robert Martin, to the Zoning
Board of Adjustment for review as a change to the Non-Conforming Use Permit.
On October 27, 2025 a Notice of Hearing was issued, setting a hearing date of November 18,
2025. The hearing was held in recess to allow for additional fact finding.
On January 23, 2026 a Notice of Hearing was issued, setting a continuation of the recessed
hearing for February 12, 2026. The hearing was held in recess to allow for responses from the
applicant posed by the ZBA.
On June 15, 2026 a Notice of Hearing was issued, setting a continuation of the recessed hearing
for June 17, 2026.
Finding of Fact:
Due to the complexity of the application, the findings are impractical to list completely here. The
conclusions reached by the board were based on information gathered from the following
sources:
1. Application materials (on file at Woodbury Town Offices)
2. Two letters from Swenson Representative, Civil Engineer, Colen Johnson, Bowman (on file
at Woodbury Town Offices)
3. Information gathered at the two hearings. Recordings found here:
a. 11/8/25: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqs1UdrIKiI
b. 2/12/26: https://hctv.us/woodbury-public-hearing-february-12-2026/

While there were several significant issues raised in the hearings the ones that came up the most
were:
1. Effects of increased traffic, including; road wear and tear, dust, safety for other non-
quarry vehicles and for the school.
2. Environmental effects, including; loss of natural beauty, pollution, excessive noise
3. Unforeseen, long-term impacts on the town associated with approving a permit change
for 60+ years.
The Board reviewed the application with the general standards of the Zoning Ordinance, Section
2.11 “Non-Conforming Uses…”. Regarding the proposed use, the Board must find that “…no
greater detrimental effect on the community will result.”
Conclusions:
Woodbury Zoning Board of Adjustment (ZBA) met on June 17, 2026 at 5:30pm. The board voted
unanimously to approve, with the following conditions, Swenson Granite Company’s application
dated September 9, 2025 to amend the previously approved non-conforming use granted to
Swenson Granite Company, LLC. the operator of the granite quarry, located at 1127 Cabot Rd,
Woodbury, VT.
The ZBA would like to note that the conditions below are informed by input from both the
community and representatives from Swenson. The one condition that stands out as diverging
from previous discussions is Condition #6. Swenson’s has stated that 40 trucks per day will be
required to make the crushing operation viable. The ZBA is approving a lower number based on
testimony from Swenson that it is not currently operating at capacity. This will allow time for the
community to get used to the larger truck volume and for Swenson to demonstrate the ability to
operate the increased volume without need for additional conditions regarding traffic impacts. If
business conditions become such that increased trucking capacity is needed, Swenson can apply
to the ZBA for an amendment to these conditions. The ZBA is committed to supporting Swenson’s
ability to successfully run a business while positively cohabitating with the Woodbury community.
Non-Conforming Use Amendment Approval Conditions:
1. Maintain the current regulatory and traffic restriction for trucks traveling to and from the
quarry. Including no trucks leaving between 7:15am-8:00am and 2:45pm-3:30pm during
the school year.
2. All dump trucks shall be covered prior to leaving the site.
3. No more than two loaded trucks shall exit the site simultaneously (within 5 minutes)
to avoid convoying.
4. Year-round, all haul dump trucks (gravel trucks) shall only enter and exit the property via
the original Swenson Quarry Road entrance which is closer to town. Not the new
entrance, which is farther from town.
5. During winter months, all haul trucks (including flatbed trucks) shall only enter and
exit the site via the original Swenson Quarry Road entrance which is closer to town. Not
the new entrance, which is farther from town.

6. The maximum number of truckloads per day shall not exceed 32 truckloads (combined
haul trucks – gravel and block).
7. Swenson will be responsible for sound monitoring for a minimum of 5 days when the
crusher is running in its first year. Results of the monitoring must be submitted to the
Town Clerk no more than 60 days after completion of the first day of monitoring and
successively for each additional day of monitoring.
8. Sound monitoring will occur as outlined above any time a different type or model of
crusher is used.
9. The expansion and proposed crushing will not impact environmental natural resources,
and Swenson will implement the stormwater improvements as shown in the application
materials.
10. Swenson remains committed to ensuring that no disruptions to the Town emergency
communications services occur. As such, Swenson will work with the Town to relocate the
services to another portion of the property prior to the tower being removed in the
future.
11. Swenson will follow the Phase timing outlined below. If adjustments need to be made due
to site or business conditions, Swenson will apply to the ZBA for an amendment to the
permit conditions. The phases below correspond to the Phase called out in the application
documentation submitted to the ZBA.
a. Approximate Lifespan at Full Production
i. Phase 1 ~ 2-8 years (Ending 2028 – 2034)
ii. Phase 2 ~ 6-14 years
iii. Phase 3 ~ 9-19 years
iv. Phase 4 ~ 5-11 years

The approval of the application is based on the plan outlined by Swenson in their application and
hearing response materials. These materials will be kept at the Woodbury Town Offices for future
reference. If there is a conflict between something in the application materials and the conditions
in this decision, the decision takes precedence.
Any failure to comply with the conditions set forth in this decision, will result in the termination
of approval of the entire Non-Compliance Amendment.
This Amendment is approved for a term of 8 years. After which time Swenson will need to return
to the Woodbury Zoning Board of Adjustment for ongoing approval.

Town of Woodbury Select Board Meeting Minutes
June 9, 2026
Attendees
Select Board Members: Diana Peduzzi, Chris Casey, John Gordon
Town Officials: Lilly Baron (Town Treasurer)
Town Employees: Peter Dailey (Road Commissioner ); Michael Gray (WSB assistant)
Members of the Public: Carol Ray
Media: Jerome Lipani – HCTV
Call to Order Chris called the meeting to order at 6:04 P.M.
Adjustments to Agenda add David Barber’s request to declassify TH 21 and bridge repair
Approval of Previous Meeting Minutes
The minutes from the May 27, 2026, Select Board meeting were approved.
Public Comment Carol Ray requests a discussion and more transparency about the Swenson Quarry
expansion and permitting processes. Carol states she is not concerned about the reimbursement rate the WSB is
negotiating, her greater concern is about the quality of life in Woodbury. The WSB discusses this with Carol,
pointing out their role within the Act 250 process and the ZBA’s role, stressing that the ZBA is the entity Carol
should bring her concerns to.
Road Commissioner’s Report with Peter Dailey
Peter has not been able to meet with David Barber to look at the bridge on TH21. Peter has met with a resident on
Cabot Road who is requesting a permit for a curb cut and wants to bore under the road to run a power line. The
landowner was advised to pick up three permit applications at the Town Office – access (curb cut), Work within the
Road ROW and a zoning application. On Friday Peter met with VAST on site along West Woodbury Road to review
their proposed work to improve the road for snowmobile travel. They have requested the road be closed for the two
weeks the work is being done. The work is anticipated to occur in t he fall. The WSB approves closing the road as
long as it does not affect any residents. The permit for the road work was signed. Peter is still waiting for McGee
Ford to get back to him with a trade-in offer for the 550 and pricing for a smaller truck. Peter has met with the
NEK/CVFiber reps and the permit to allow placing underground fiber in the ROW of Scribner Road, was signed with
the condition that the conduit for the cable will be underneath the culvert. The culvert replacement and fiber wiil
have to be done simultaneously. Discussion then turns to the garage ceiling/roof project.
Garage Roof Repair Chris met with Steve Connor of Connor Contracting (who lives in Woodbury) to review the
roof and ceiling repair. They established there was no water leakage with the chimney but there was water damage
to the roof sheathing, most likely from condensation. Steve felt the $40k PACIF had proposed as compensation for
the repair work would not cover the work that would be needed. There will be another on site meeting wi th PACIF
to take another look at the project. Chris feels it may be too late to hire a contractor to do the work this year. He
feels the town may have to come up with a short-term fix for the coming winter while also working out a long -term
plan/vision for a new garage. The board realizes that the garage is not in good shape and is deficient in many ways.
He will be meeting with the Calais SB to see if there might be the possibility of sharing garage space there. Options
for a new garage and ways to get more space for use at or near the present garage , were discussed. Another local
resident, Chris Temple of DeWolfe Engineering, might be helpful.

Grant Updates: with Michael Gray
Michael has received the VTrans grant agreements for the culvert engineering /design work of Church Street and
Bailey Bridge Road. He is also anticipating grant agreement forms for the paving of Foster Hill Road and the Better
Roads Valley Lake Road project. The WSB authorized him to sign the grant agreements on behalf of the town.
Town Treasurer’s Report with Lilly Baron
The General Fund is currently operating at a budget deficit of - $73,235. The town is just slightly under
$100,000 off from our budgeted revenue. This translates closely to the $92,498 still sitting in our
delinquencies for the current year. The Highway Fund has a budget surplus of $108,378, and remains in
a strong position. Our Highway fund has exceeded our budgeted revenues and is currently underspent
for this period. Overall, the FY26 budget remains in a net position of $35,143 year-to-date when considering both
funds. Total cash on hand is $905,310. As a reminder, $527,301 of our current cash balance is restricted FEMA
funding that will be repaid once we receive formal notice to return the funds.
Given the substantial FEMA funding received last year, a direct comparison of total cash balances is not
an apples-to-apples comparison. Excluding restricted FEMA funds, our current cash position is
$378,010, compared to $562,854 at Period 11(the month before the end of the fiscal year) last year, a decrease of
$184,844 year over year. One driving factor of this decrease is purchase of the new truck and deficit in the HERF
fund. In the General Fund, we should still be receiving a large refund from the School District for an
overpayment on the State Education Tax payment which will increase our General Fund before the end
of the fiscal year.
The end of the fiscal year s approaching. Lilly will provide a report on the month of June at the first meeting in July,
followed by a full fiscal year-end review at the second meeting. Over the next few weeks, we will gain a clearer
picture of our cash flow needs and whether it would be prudent for Woodbury to utilize its line of credit to bridge
the gap between the end of the fiscal year and the receipt of tax revenues.
Lilly then informed the WSB of a town tax policy that is not compensated regarding the town’s tax payment for its
school tax. Woodbury provides a veterans' property tax exemption that is not recognized by the State for
education tax purposes. As a result, while the exemption reduces the Town's taxable grand list, it does not reduce
the amount of state education tax that Woodbury is required to remit to the State. Under 32 V.S.A. § 5404a(d),
municipalities that offer this exemption are expected to establish a separate tax rate to recover the state
education tax associated with the exempted value. Woodbury has not historically done this. As a result, the Town
has effectively absorbed this cost rather than collecting it through taxation. The impact on taxpayers is expected to
be minimal. In simple terms, the Town must raise the amount of state education tax attributable to the veterans'
exemption and spread that cost across the entire tax base. This is a topic that should be part of our tax-rate
discussions for the new fiscal year.
Lilly then shared that she has learned that temporary employees working more than 20 weeks in a year are
considered eligible for sick time. Both temporary employees have crossed this threshold. Lilly will begin tracking
their sick time. Temporary employees are not eligible for VMERS.
Updates on Buyouts with John Gordon
John states that there is not much new to report. The site inspection for asbestos at the two buyout sites will occur
the following day. If asbestos abatement is needed, the work may need to go out to bid according to the town’s
purchasing policy. The led to a discussion of the Purchasing Policy and whether it should be updated. The policy is
more than ten years old. It is also stated that the policy is not law and has been overridden in some instances in
the past, always with good reason. Compliance with a local policy is required by FEMA and other funders.

Emergency Generator The emergency generator failed to kick in during a brief power outage over the
last weekend, causing concerns from the school. When they arrived on Monday and realized there had been an
outage, Michael was called by the school and he discussed this with the maintenance person at the school.
Michael provided the MOU for the generator to the school and Diana. Under the MOU, the town is responsible for
the emergency generator and it’s fuel (LPG). Discussion followed on how to remedy the situation. Chris will call
Brookfield Services to discuss an automatic weekly firing of the generator and Diana will contact Joe Houston,
head of OSSU building maintenance, to also discuss. John will check with Paul Cerutti to ask if the WVFD is still
checking the fluid levels during their monthly truck check.
FEMA Status Update There is no change in the town’s status with FEMA. Lilly noted there is a small
discrepancy over the amount she and Skip came up with for what is owed and the amount FEMA has indicated .
Appointments The WSB appoint ed the following town residents to the Woodbury Fund Board – Robin
Durkee, Alex Peltz, George Sawyer, Gary Smith and Natalya Zahn.
Updates and Other Business
Bills and Payroll: Bills and payroll orders were signed at the end of the meeting.
Swenson/Polycor Quarry Act 250 Hearing Request: The hearing Is scheduled for June 26. The SB has
worked with John Reid and the town’s attorney to prepare Pre_Hearing Testimony that was submitted by the June 3
deadline.
Adjournment The meeting was adjourned at 7 :42 P.M.

Strengthening Local Democracy Forum – June 22, 5 p.m. – Greensboro

by
Forum to consider local democracy, June 22
GREENSBORO – The Hardwick Gazette is sponsoring a public forum “Strengthening Local
Democracy: Exploring ‘Both/And’ Ideas” at Highland Center for the Arts, Monday, June 22, 5
p.m., to consider questions about ways to strengthen local democracy.
With support from the Hardwick Equity Committee and Greensboro residents, the forum will be
led by Susan Clark, author of several books examining local democracy, including “Slow
Democracy” and “All Those in Favor,” a book about Vermont town meetings.
Greensboro has a special town meeting scheduled for June 30 to consider moving all Town
Meeting Day voting to Australian balloting,
Hardwick held a special town meeting May 19 to consider the same question and deferred the
decision while the select board appoints a task force to study the issue.
Craftsbury recently worked with Clark as they considered moving a portion of town meeting day
votes to Australian balloting, and explored a number of options to strengthen democracy
throughout the year..
This forum will feature both informative content and opportunities for conversation. It will be an
opportunity to pause, consider the values each of us brings to this discussion and investigate
democratic innovations emerging from communities across New England.
Clark has worked with towns throughout the region by helping them explore ways to improve
both democratic access and local engagement, valuing both the breadth and depth of
community decision-making.
Free dinner and free child care will be provided.
The event will begin at 5 p.m. with snacks before Susan Clark’s presentation on community
values around strengthening local democracy, traditional town meetings and Australian balloting
to make town decisions.
There will be a break for a light meal with more ideas to consider, followed by a presentation by
Clark about what is being tried in Vermont with some time for comments, thoughts and
discussion
The forum will adjourn at 8 p.m.
For more information contact editor@HardwickGazette.org. Those needing child care should
email editor@hardwickgazette.org with “June 22 Childcare” as the subject.

Call to Order Chris called the meeting to order at 6:04 p .M.
Adjustments to Agenda John requests the LEMP be added to the agenda under the Buy Out Update.
The FEMA Status Update is moved to follow the RC Report
Approval of Previous Meeting Minutes
The minutes from the May 11, 2026, Select Board meeting are considered. John brings up the correction Lilly
requested regarding the school insurance -from $14,000 in the draft to $16,796. WSB minutes are approved as
corrected.
-------.Public Comment David Barber would like to repair the stone bridge located on TH 21, an old unnamed,
untraveled, dead end road on his property. Peter will look at the bridge with David to see how best to move forward
with the repair. One option to be considered is to discontinue the road, which does not serve access to any
property beyond Barbers'.
Delivery of a Petition for a Special Town Meeting with Ana Peltz
Ana, a former MVUESD board member for Woodbury, has been researching and talking to various groups about
issues concerning the consolidation of the school districts and how that might affect the Woodbury school. From
her inquiries, it appears to many that the MVUESD board could move to close the Woodbury school, relocating its
students to Hardwick's elementary school. Ana and other residents would like to have a town meeting to gauge
town sentiments about this closure and to explore options for the education of its students. Diana pointed out
technical issues with the petition and explained that a special town meeting should not be warned just to discuss
a subject. There must be an article that can be voted on. The voters of the town do not have the authority to take
action on subjects regarding the school. The WSB is supportive of a town gathering to discuss the school issue,
and such a gathering can be organized by anyone.
Road Commissioner's Report with Peter Dailey
Wheeler Hill Road Plugged Culvert: Peter brings up an issue of a plugged culvert on Wheeler Hill Road. A resident
near the culvert is having work done to break down ledge by his home. Peter would like to hire the contractor to
break up ledge on the downstream side of the plugged culvert. The ledge on the downstream side of the culvert
does not allow the water flowing through it to go anywhere and is the primary cause of the culvert plugging. He
spoke with the contractor and was given the price of $2,500 to do this work, while he has his equipment on the
site. The WSB approved this work and its expense. Old Trailer: There has been an offer of $1,000 for the old
transport trailer; the WSB approved the sale. Scribner Road/CVFiber conduit: Peter has spoken with

NEK/CVFiber about the burying of conduit along Scribner Road. They are not sure when they will be doing the
project but will coordinate with Peter so that the road crew can replace a culvert in the section of road as the
conduit is being put in place. The permit application should be approved at the next SB meeting. West Woodbury
Road: No progress since the last meeting. Ford 550: Peter is getting calls from the Ford dealer concerning the 550
and the town's decision about it, as it sits on their property. The recent history of the 550's breakdowns and
related expenses is reviewed once again. Peter has a quote of $130,000 for the replacement of the 550. Chris asks
if a smaller truck (and less expensive) would be adequate for the work the 550 performs. Peter suggests a 350 or 1
ton dump truck could seNe the same purpose. Peter will look into prices for a smaller truck. Backhoe Rental
Request: The road crew is aware that there is a need to clean and unplug many culverts. Peter is considering
whether to rent a backhoe to do this work as using the excavator for this work is slow and cumbersome. The rental
of a backhoe would be $3,900 for a month of use. Larry Ferno suggests the town hire a contractor to do this work.
The WSB asks Peter to look into the rental of the backhoe and the hiring of a contractor to decide which would be
the best option. Garage Roof/Ceiling: The town garage ceiling damage was recently assessed by PACIF for
insurance reimbursement of repair costs. The insurance adjuster looked at replacing the ceiling, but not the
associated roof damage. Chris would like PACIF to also consider damage to the roof and possibly help pay for
those repairs also. It is decided to have a contractor look at that damage to give an assessment and estimate for
roof repairs that could be submitted to PACIF for their consideration. Peter closed his report with a statement
about the difficulty of getting out to grade the roads with the frequency of rain showers we have been experiencing.
Grant Updates: with Michael Gray
The BRIC grant for the Buck Lake Brook Watershed study has been submitted to VEM/FEMA by Keith Cubbon of
CVRPC. There are no other grant updates.
~FEMA Status Update with Skip Lindsay
Skip reported that the status of the two bridge projects hasn't changed. The projects are still in the "pending
award" category but not considered completed by FEMA. The town has received payment for the projects so funds
are in the town coffers for the bridge replacements. Mark Johnson of VEM has told the town VEM will not pay
Category z payments for expenses in 2026, but this decision could be appealed. The WSB will not appeal. The
amount in question is$ __ _ Skip also has not received a revised financial report from the Department of
Safety. In general, little communication from FEMA and VEM has been forthcoming from Skip's inquiries.
Town Clerk's Report with Graham Christie
Graham reports that he is benefitting from Robin's assistance in learning the town clerk's duties. He also states
that 167 registered voters in Woodbury participated in the third school budget vote and that the school budget was
passed.
Town Treasurer's Report with Lilly Baron
Lilly requests direction from the WSB regarding paid leave benefits for the appointed Town Clerk position. Neither
version of the Personnel Policy provides clear guidance on leave benefits for appointed town office employees.
Lilly states that when she was appointed, the WSB chose to prorate her leave benefits based on her scheduled
hours. Lilly recommends applying the same approach for Graham on an interim basis while the WSB
continues work on a revised personnel policy. Under this approach, Graham would receive prorated
leave benefits totaling 60 hours of sick leave, 12 hours of personal leave, and holiday leave calculated
3t 6 hours per day, adjusted for the remainder of the year. The WSB agreed. VLCT/PACIF Garage Claim: The town
has received the settlement agreement for the garage insurance claim. The total amount would be $40,993.95,
based on the adjuster's estimate and inclusive of the $1,000 deductible. Once the agreement is signed, the funds
will be released. If contractor estimates differ from the adjuster's estimate, the claim may be reopened for review.

Lilly recommends accepting the funds and depositing them into the Town Building Fund for safekeeping as we
proceed with the repair process. The WSB does not agree and will leave the offer in abeyance until a contractor
estimate can be obtained. Annual Internal Controls Checklist: Each year, the Selectboard is required to receive
and acknowledge this internal controls checklist by statute 24 V.S.A 1571 (d). While the checklist is somewhat
outdated, it must still be formally presented. Lilly has signed the document and the WSB also signed the
document at this meeting. Lilly noted that, with a new Assistant Treasurer and Town Clerk coming on board, Lilly,
Graham and Bonnie have begun reviewing and evaluating the town's internal controls and identifying potential
updates or improvements. Personnel Policy: Lilly and the WSB will convene a special WSB meeting for a final
review and approval of the town's revised personnel policy, on Thursday, June 11
1
5:00 p.m. at the town office.
Village Trust Initiative: Graham and Lilly attended a meeting with the Village Trust Initiative. The Village Trust
Initiative works with Vermont communities to support locally driven village revitalization projects that strengthen
community connection, preserve historic village centers, and create shared public spaces and local gathering
places. One well-known example locally is their involvement in the recreation of the East Calais General Store. The
organization expressed interest in exploring a partnership with Woodbury to help identify and support similar
opportunities locally. This partnership would not be with the town directly, but rather the town would offer its
support to a local group of citizens. These individuals would form a 501 c3 and work with the initiative to find a
community focused project and local partners to work with. Graham and Lilly would like to begin promoting this
initiative within the community with the support of the WSB. Lilly emphasizes any involvement they have with this
program would be on their own time and would not be billed to the Town. Graham and Lilly request the WSB's
support to help encourage community awareness and participation in this initiative. The WSB expressed its
support. Lilly also mentions this is the last round of funding for this initiative. There are currently no ideas floating
around for such a project.
~Updates on Buyouts with John Gordon
LEMP: John has an updated LEMP for the WSB to sign; WSB signed. Buy Out Update: John went through the RFP
for the demolition of the old store and would like the WSB to set dates for the RFP for the demolition of the two
village buyouts. There will be one contract involving both buildings. The setting of these dates will allow John to
also submit a request for an extension of the demolition work. Dates of May 29
th
for the RFP posting, a walk
through/site visit on June 10
th
were discussed. Larry Ferno then suggested that it will be unlikely that contractors
will be able to bid while there is uncertainty regarding asbestos in the buildings. The town should consider doing
an assessment at a minimum, and possibly doing the abatement, prior to going out for bids. John will check in
VEM to see how to proceed regarding the asbestos inspection and abatement.
Updates and Other Business
Bills and Payroll: Bills and payroll orders were signed at the end of the meeting.

Worcester Rangers/VAST with Ivan Niles
Ivan Niles representing the Worcester Rangers Snowmobile Club, requesting permission to work on the Class 4
Town Highways in the Woodbury Mountain Wilderness Preserve. These road segments are rutted and eroded by
years of use by recreational drivers, making it impossible for the snowmobile club's groomers to get through in the
winter. The town does not maintain these roads. The link between the Woodbury roads and the Elmore roads is
especially bad. West Woodbury Road -TH 3 -the Class 4 section goes from the Class 3 section, then turns west
for the short segment (.3 miles) toward Elmore. South from that intersection is Slayton Pond Road TH-17. These
form an important connection route to other snowmachine trails to the north. The WRSC has cleared trees off the
trail in the past but would like permission to do further repairs including widening, ditching and adding material to
the road surface. They are hoping to get a grant from VAST to do this work. It may be a multi-year project
depending on funding. Ivan reviewed the project with Alfie, former Road Commissioner, and now requests a site
visit with Peter Dailey, an excavating contractor and NEWT to work out a plan and scope of work for improvements
to the road. The WSB voices support for this effort; Peter is willing to be a part of the site visit and the ongoing
project. The Clerk will forward a PDF version of the application for Work Within the Public Right of Way. There
was discussion about how to limit use of the road during the construction
~ NEK Broadband/CV Fiber ROW Permit with Geoff Whitchurch
Geoff has submitted to Peter the town ROW permit requesting the laying of a 1,000 feet of conduit in the town's
ROW on Scribner Road between existing poles. The WSB looked at the permit and map of the proposed area for
the buried conduit. The project description was missing in the permit. Peter mentions that there is a fairly deep

culvert in that 1000 foot section of road that needs to be upgraded to new standards. Peter suggests the conduit
and culvert replacement projects be coordinated to be done at the same time. The project description will be
-made available to the WSB and the WSB will make a decision on this at its May 27
th
meeting.
Road Commissioner's Report with Peter Dailey
Peter has received the report from PACIF that includes a suggested scope of work and the amount PACIF will pay
to cover damages to the roof at the Town Garage. Contractor estimates need to be solicited. It is believed that a
new generation of the racoon family have moved back into the ceiling. Peter also had a quote from McGee Ford for
the motor replacement of the 550 -$15,000. Mc Gee is not willing to accept any responsibility for the blown
motor. They feel that the fact that the motor failed a few days after the 550 was returned for the $12,000 exhaust
repair is an unfortunate coincidence. Peter met a Ford dealer from Rutland area at the "Truck Show" last week,
who said they could replace the 550 with a new truck for $130,000. Chris asks about replacing the motor and
keeping the truck going until 2028 when the 550 has been scheduled to be replaced and wonders how long the
road crew could function without the truck. Peter answers that the 550 is primarily used as the winter salt truck.
No decision on the 550 was made at this meeting. Peter mentions that he will be scheduling the pumping of the
garage septic tank. Diana suggests he call Michaud's; Peter will give them a call.
Diana asked about the road crew part time employees who signed on to help with snow plowing. Peter reported
that they are both still being scheduled for part-time hours, but are not committed to stay on. Only one person
has shown interest in the full-time position but he does not have his CDL and said he was studying for it. There has
been no other response to the published ads for the position. Peter suggested posting on the VLCT site.
Work for this week will be focused on grading and cleaning out culverts. Peter is working with the crew to get them
trained on all the road equipment, Tim is learning to run the grader. It was also announced in the reading of the
----.. executive session for the April 27
th
meeting that Peter has been appointed as the town's Road Commissioner.
fawn Highway Grant Updates with Michael Gray
Michael received notice that the VTrans grants -paving of Foster Hill Road and engineering and design work for
culvert replacements on Church Street and Bailey Bridge Road have received recommendations for approval. The
final notice of these grant awards is anticipated soon. The road crew has also received notice of a grant award of
$20,000 for work on the section of Valley Lake Road as the road descends into the village. This work will be done
after the culvert replacement on Valley Lake Road scheduled for this summer. Michael also shared that the
property owner for the County Road portion of the EWP project does not want the town's road crew to do the work;
they would prefer the work be done by the contractor who will doing the work on the Cabot Road/Buck Lake Brook
project. The BRIC grant application for the Buck Lake Brook watershed study has been completed. However
VEM/FEMA now requires two additional forms. One of the forms asks for a listing of relevant town officials and a
bio/resume for each. Michael requests that the TTR, The EMD and the WSB chair put together a simple bio/resume
for inclusion in this application. Michael and Keith Cubbon, CVRPC will also be providing bios for the application.
Town Clerk's Report with Graham Christie
The Select Board signed the Certification of Election of Town Clerk form, to confirm to the Secretary of State that
he has been duly appointed. Graham, with Robin's help, will be overseeing the MVUSD special school budget
election on May 20
th
along with learning the job, also with Robin's help. Robin will stay on in the post of Assistant
Town Clerk while training Graham, which may take up to two months.
Graham reported receiving two Notices of Dog Bites, which came in from hospital emergency rooms. These
usually go to the Town Health Officer who determines whether any action is needed. In both cases, the dog bites
happened with domestic pets, in the owner's homes. Concurrently and conveniently, Kathryn Saunders arrived at
the meeting. Chris had spoken with her about taking on the position of Town Health Officer for the Town of
Woodbury. Kathryn shares that she is the THO for Calais and Worcester, has many years of experience as a nurse
and would be interested in serving as Woodbury's THO. She does not receive a stipend from the other towns and

would not expect one from Woodbury. The WSB accepted her offer and appointed her as the town's THO. Graham
will put together an appointment letter for the next meeting. Chris offers to Kathryn that he is willing to be a backup
-for her on THO issues in town, if Kathryn feels that is needed. She accepted the two dog notices and will follow up
with the owners.
Town Treasurer's Report with Lillian Baron
The General Fund (GF)is currently operating at a deficit of $66,058 though the GF balance has increased to
$37,377, due to the $20K transfer of funds from the HF to the GF. As a result of this transfer, the HF balance has
decreased to $231,467. The Highway Fund (HF) has a budget surplus of $143,912. Total Cash on hand is $922,457.
The HERF received a Swenson Quarry payment this month that brings that fund to a current~e tive $37,874.
The town has received its final PACIF invoice for FY 26. The town has also been reimbursed k y the OSSU for
insurance paid by the town for the elementary school. The town has also received all funds fr m VTrans for town
highway aid for a total of $80,911. / ,b..1 174,
The town has received the final FY 26 cash flow report from the state for education taxes to MVUESD and Hazen. In
September of each year the town receives a preliminary cash flow report that tells the town what is owed to
MVUESD and Hazen. Because town taxes are paid once a year and the school taxes are also paid once a year, the
town pays the full projected amount from the state's preliminary cash flow report to MVUESD and Hazen. Later,
after these payments, the town receives a final cash flow report that states the actual amount owed. For this year,
it appears the initial payment is $40,000 higher than the actual amount owed. Lilly is expecting money back before
the end of FY 26 from the state education department. Lilly has signed up for a June 5
th
NEMRC day long seminar
on tax billing; the cost of the seminar is $175.
Lilly asks the WSB to reconsider the TTR's weekly scheduled hours from the currently stated 22 hours a week. She
_____ is finding that the responsibilities of the position consistently require approximately 30 hours per week, depending
Jn the time of the year. This change would affect the TTR's eligibility for VMERS, paid leave and employer offered
health insurance. All changes could be directly addressed in the Elected Officials Agreement (EOA)
of the personnel policy to fully outline the benefits and hours for the TTR position. The WSB requests that Lilly
make those changes to the EOA and will discuss any proposed changes at a future meeting.
Updates on Buyouts with John Gordon
John has a draft RFP for the demolition work of the two properties and states that the RFP should go out ASAP;
WSB will review the RFP. Logistics around power and water are discussed. John spoke again with Tim Higgins and
was given an estimate from Tim for the full transfer of the electrical line and transfer box from the old fire station to
the Town Hall -$3,000. He could temporarily disconnect the electrical equipment for later installation {after the
demolition) for $1000. The WSB agrees to this plan and approves hiring Tim Higgins-Woodbury Electric, to do the
work. John will also ask Tim for an estimate to fix the deteriorating electrical line running out from the back of the
Town Hall. It has already been decided the well/waterline work will be done in conjunction with the demolition.
There is a request from WEC about creating an outdoor spigot to provide water for the skating rink, as part of the
water configuration. Diana asks if there are any rules that will need to be followed with the water line work
regarding public water. Where would the outdoor spigot be placed? Since the water from the well behind the Post
Office building will only serve two buildings it may not be considered a public water supply. John will check into
that.
John has suggested that part of the Shattuck property be used as a parking area for access to the two adjacent
parks. Permission from VEM and Vtrans may be needed.
Town Official Appointments
The Town still needs someone to serve as the town's contact person with FEMA.
