Mr. Ben Pratt and Mr. Ron Hagget presented the proposed Capital Improvement Plan.
Lisa Hennessey and Melissa Galagher representing the Grapevine and Joan Gorga and Celested Lunetta representing the Parks and Recreation program gave an overview on the need for the Before and After School Program to be run under the Town of Antrim Park and Recreation department. In September the State of New Hampshire Child Care Bureau informed the Grapevine that the partnership between the Grapevine and Park & Recreation department did not meet the guidelines for what qualifies as a Recreation program and was no longer exempt from licensing. The recreation department must administer the program in order for it to fall under the licensing exemption. The selectboard agreed to administer the program under Parks and Recreation department for two years. This will give the Grapevine time to
license the program and bring it back under the administration of the Grapevine. The Grapevine will be billed monthly for all cost to the Town of Antrim for the program while it is under the Park & Recreation program.
- Preliminary Department Budgets were presented for Park & Rec, Arts, Ambulance, Fire, Town Clerk, Elections, Tax Collector, Street Lighting/Misc., Equipment Leasing, Animal Control, and Highway. A new line item will be added to the Fire Department budget for physicals. $2,000.00 will be taken from Training for this purpose.
- The Selectmen’s report for the Limrik was reviewed.
