REVIEW OF MEETING WITH BURLINGTON FIRE COMMISSIONERS Mr. D'Acuti, Chairman of the Board of Selectmen, reviewed the conversation at the meeting with the Burlington Fire Department Commissioners, and he reported that Burlington's request for South Burlington fire protection was $50,000.00 per year.

Mr. Douglas, Town Manager, was requested to get all the necessary information concerning cost of operation, equipment, and total cost of maintaining a fire department should South Burlington decide to have their own department. ACCEPTANCE OF DEED TO AUSTIN PROPERTY The Board of Selectmen voted unanimously to accept the deed to the Austin property, as approved by Mr. Mikell, Town Attorney. PIZZAGALLI DRIVEWAY Plans for the Pizzagalli development on Kennedy Drive for the apartment buildings were reviewed. Mr. Douglas, Town Manager, and Mr. Ladd, Highway Superintendent, recommended that the driveway be a private driveway so that the town would not have to maintain the road. After much discussion the Board decided that this should be a town highway, built under the specifications of our Sub-division rules and regulations, as there would be over forty families involved. The Board of Selectmen unanimously agreed that this must be an accepted street in order to protect the tenants in the apartments. MAJOR MEDICAL INSURANCE The Assistant Town Manager, Mr. LeClair, reviewed the major medical breakdown with sickness and accident benefits, life insurance policies, etc., as presented by the Blue Cross-Blue Shield Company. The Town Manager and Mr. LeClair were instructed to get further quotations from other insurance agents and companies and report to the Board at a later date. OTHER BUSINESS Mr. Frederick G.
