*** MEETING MINUTES PROCEDURES: Mrs. Thompson stated that it has been brought up more then once that
we can tape record minutes. It was brought up a couple of weeks ago by Mr. Parker that something that was
said in a meeting was not in the minutes, this was not the case, the statement that was made was not made
during a Board of Selectmen meeting. Yesterday a citizen tape recorded the meeting and she feels that we
should have a tape recording. The board agreed to tape record the board meetings in the future.

paneling. The board feels we should leave this as is.

Thompson stated that one of the request of information Mrs. Wittenborg requested, Mrs. Thompson gave her in
March. She has enclosed a copy of her response to Mrs. Wittenborg. Mrs. Thompson questioned if we are
obligated to add up every assessment, this is not information we have readily available. Mr. Parker stated that
he does not feel that we are obligated to produce material we do not have. Mr. Clukey questioned why this is
coming up after our meeting yesterday when Dave Arnold explained all of our questions thoroughly. Mrs.
Thompson copied all of her e-mails as requested. One of the e-mails states we would be doing the upgrade the
