Stated that they store their cooking equipment in there for events they host at the town hall and in the area. If they cannot have storage unit at the hall, they would like to obtain 5 acres of Town property that the Town owns next door to put it on. Chairman Conner reviewed the issues with storage unit on town property with being it requires a County land-use permit (now double the amount as after-the-fact that unit has been placed), town insurance was not keen on having a non-town owned container on town property, WTA attorney advised town to err on the side of caution to protect the towns interest, assessor would need to create a separate tax parcel number and be subject to property tax. And allowing the use of town property may lead to other community groups making similar demands. Conner suggested that if unit was donated to the town, then the town could “lease” it back to them to use. Approval to lease it back to them would need electors vote at a Town Meeting such as Annual Meeting in April, then approval from Board at a Town Board Meeting. Clerk Jones stated that the property next door is unavailable as it still has a loan on it. Jones will investigate the cost and liabilities of insurance if unit was donated and then “leased” back. Jones also requested that the Lions Club will need to name the town as additional insured on their insurance policy for public dinners, will need a copy for town file and town insurance. e.
