K.  TOWN ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT
Express Line #4 published
Maxine did good work on this

recycle holiday wrappings, etc
Tree pick up Jan 9th

H1N1 Flu clinic
last week and today, thanks for all helping
well attended moving smoothly
a huge success


10-12 year history on snow budget

highlight in Express Line
in 1998 vs 2009 police statistics
more calls with less folks
thanks to the employees for doing this

Fire Dept calls are up, DPW road miles have grown

DPW is down 6 positions so handling the snow will be a little be slower this time around
trying not to fill jobs until the budget picture clarifies in a couple of months

belt tightening across many departments
some positions are critical and can't go unfilled but for others we are waiting to see what the numbers from the State will be

Community Development
application scoring increased from 83 to 89 (need to check the numbers)
this helps with grant applications
