Some New Year's Resolutions

A wish list for 2012. Please add your ideas.

1. Fix the fire department roof immediately before it collapses on personnel and equipment.
2. Take last year's budget and cut it back by the amount of proposed warrant articles.
3. Establish capital reserve accounts for each department.
4. Implement an austerity program that limits spending to essentials, reduce the town's debt, begin to build capital reserves, and take advantage of grants.
5. Make Parks and Recreation a profit center.
6. Develop a long term capital improvement plan.
7. Develop a long term energy plan to include solar, wind, and hydro.
8. Continue plans to develop the receiving station.
9. Conduct an independent audit of the town and the utilities.
10. Develop a plan for economic development, start a chamber of commerce, begin to implement ideas from the Charrette, and support local business.
