Other Business
Chair Lift: Mr. Sanborn asked about the chair lift for the Grange Hall that was talked about awhile back. Most seemed to remember there was a compliance reason why it could not be used, but could not remember exactly what it was. Mr. Paveglio will follow up.
Fleet Management Committee: The committee has a suggested change to the Charter. They would like to make clear that the appointed members are separate from the
Department Heads.
Mr. Paveglio made a motion seconded by Mr. Jordan to accept the amended Fleet Management Committee Charter as presented today. Motion passes. The amended Charter was signed by the Board.
Mr. Paveglio reviewed the information he has been working on with the committee. He asked Nancy to inquire about Fire Truck Replacement Insurance.
Paving Projects: Specifications were submitted for the following paving projects: Lane Road, Pleasant Street, Kelly Corner Road, and Smith Sanborn Road. The Selectmen approved the specifications with the understanding that we are asking for bids only and they could still decide not to do the projects at all or as proposed. The Selectmen would like to talk to the Road Agent about each project.
Ordinances: The Attorney’s opinion has been given regarding the Ordinances. The Selectmen would like to read over the letter and proposed ordinances. It will be discussed at the next meeting and a public hearing date will be set.
Payday: Nancy asked if the Selectmen would be willing to change the payday from Friday to Thursday when we switch over to bi-weekly. The employees will appreciate getting their pay a day earlier. The Selectmen agree. Nancy will re-write the policy to coincide with the beginning date of the bi-weekly payroll.
Library: Lucille Noel said the Library reading program will be beginning soon. They are looking for people to read or tell personal stories about different areas of the world.
The Library is looking for people willing to host a neighborhood get-together to talk about the basement remodel. The plant and book sale is June 4th.
Forestry: Mr. Colbert spoke to the Selectmen regarding a fire permit violation he received. He wanted to let the Selectmen know what the circumstances were. He felt the dispatching of two trucks to the scene may have been too much. The Selectmen have not received notice of the violation yet, but will take it under advisement.
Hilliard Road: Nancy informed the Selectmen that she spoke to Wesley Brown regarding the letter he received asking him to contact the Road Agent rather than doing work to the road himself. Mr. Brown said that his son had only raked rocks out of the lawn. Nancy explained to him that the letter was advisory and no action was being taken. She also referred Mr. Brown to the Road Agent to clear up the matter.
Pursuant to RSA 91-A:II (c) Mr. DeBold made a motion seconded by Mr. Paveglio to go into non-public session. The roll call vote was unanimous.
