IV.	Reports

1.	Rough-Draft Broadband Financial Statements--There were net gains
in June and July  and there is currently about $4,000.00 worth of
inventory on hand to do 8 installations. Reck encouraged the Board to
explore ways to make time payments for the initial $500.00 possible, but
Young said that there is insufficient capital left to support time
payments at this time.

2.  Town Coordinator Report (Appendix II) Highlights--There is a problem
on Gale Road involving a broken tree that has served as a telephone pole
but is now and currently hanging over the road and held up only by the
telephone wire.  Verizon had offered to cut the wire but not the tree,
and as of meeting time the wire had still not been cut.

Lemon MOVED that the board give Highway Superintendent Tim Kilhart
permission to cut this one tree as a one-time waiver to policy. Abbott
SECONDED. CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

*	Village Center facelift--Roumbakis has not only completed painting
the Town Hall, but, as long as they were here, anyway, offered to paint
other buildings in the vicinity--the Library, Inn, Copper Angel Bakery
and the Cooke house--at rates too good to be refused, as well. Our
summer youth employees finished the fence rails around the Common (Town
Park) and are now painting the latticework around the Police Station
before they start on the signpost.   Joe Paul is painting the Historical
Society building. So the Village Center's "facelift" should be complete
in good time for Old Home Days!

*	Old Home Days Satellite Dish Toss--There will be an
internet-satellite-dish toss on Sunday, August 30, at 2 pm on the Common
to celebrate our success in bringing broadband to Warwick!

3.	Highway Department Reports--see APPENDIX III

At 7:52 p.m., Lemon MOVED that the meeting be adjourned Arguimbau
SECONDED. CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
