1) Director of MACC Base, Mark Schultz attended the meeting.  He informed the Board that he was there to respectfully request that they rescind their letter withdrawing from MACC Base effective December 31, 2009.  He presented them a packet detailing the exceptional service provided by MACC Base and a discussion ensued.  He informed the Board that he feels that the withdrawal of Wilton will force Milford and Mont Vernon to look at other dispatching and is affecting the operations.  Mr. Rockwood stated that he feels that Milford is going to resign from MACC Base also and Mr. Schultz stated that they have to stay at least two more years.  He feels that other members of the Board of Selectmen of Milford do not want to leave MACC Base.  Mr. Schultz also stated that he is actively looking for other towns to join them.  He is in the process of gathering information from other towns and to see what it would take to make other towns consider MACC Base.

Mr. Schultz stated that he would like to appeal to the Board’s good sense.  Mr. Donovan stated that he thought they should look into what it would take to be ready for other dispatching services.  Mr. Schultz agreed that Wilton should be co-licensed for federal frequencies.  The Board stated that they would discuss the issue and get back to Mr. Schlutz at a later date
