6. Shelley Nelkens questioned the about the board about the Fire Department’s request a few weeks ago to replace the overhead doors at the Clinton Street Station. The board restated their position that this was not a budgeted item nor was it part of the Capital Improvement Plan and that the board would review the building maintenance budget this fall to see if there was money left to replace the doors. Mr. Stearns said that he has spoken with the Fire Chief and has been told that they understood that budget issues and if they are able to replace the doors this year then he would want the doors at the North Branch Station replaced at the same time.
7. Mr. Stearns presented correspondence that has been received from the NH DOT informing us of the decision to remove the streetlight at the intersection of Routes 9 & 31 and that there will be a meeting held at the District 4 DOT offices on July 11th to receive input from the towns affected by the States decisions to remove lights in their town. Mr. Stearns and Chief Lester will attend and request that this light remain. Mrs. Ann Edwards was present and said that the letter was very timely as she was present to ask what the process was to get a streetlight installed at the intersection of Goodell Road and Route 202. The board said that the request would have to be made to the DOT as this is on a State road. Mr. Stearns said that with the State looking to reduce the number of
streetlights that they pay for it is very unlikely that they will install new ones.
