Mr. DeBold reviewed the two public hearings regarding this subject.
A motion was made by Mr. Paveglio and seconded by Mr. Jordan to authorize a quit claim deed of the rangeway located on Map 7 Lot 4 to Jason and Melinda Weir. Motion Passes
Canterbury Road
Mrs. Pinard reviewed the meeting with the DOT and the town. We would send a letter stating the town is interested in entering into an agreement with the state to repair and reclassify Canterbury Road. Consensus of the board was to send the letter to the DOT.
Highway Department
Mr. Paveglio stated he saw a sander hanging and it is covered with salt. We still are not cleaning of the sanders in the salt shed. The impression is that it is not a priority. We need to speak to the Road Agent this is inexcusable.
Mr. DeBold will go to the highway department and see what is going on.
Outstanding Item:
Forestry Truck Bids
Mr. Paveglio stated I have a hard time with the plow on this truck. I just want to have this conversation one more time. If you have to plow the driveway this is an issue.
Mr. Cole stated that during major storms it is hard for the road agent to keep up. But during the smaller storms he does a great job. I have used my plow to keep up with it. We wanted the plow for emergency response and dry hydrants.
Mr. Weir would like to see the highway department plow the driveway and the dry hydrants as it is the highway department responsibility and use the plow on the forestry as a last resort.
Mr. DeBold stated that he sees this as the fire department being proactive if there is an emergency they can handle it.
A motion was made by Mr. DeBold and seconded by Mr. Paveglio to award the Forestry truck bid to Grappone Ford in the amount $27,842 and Skid Unit to Kimtek in the amount of $10,775 both to be paid out of the Forestry Truck Warrant Article . Motion Passes. 2 yea and 1 nay
Selectmen Office Printer
Mrs. Pinard informed the board that the printer in the selectmen’s office is no longer working properly and would like to purchase a new one.
HP State Contract $717.75
WB Mason $749.99
Newegg.com $565.98
A motion was made by Mr. Paveglio and seconded by Mr. Jordan to purchase the printer from Newegg.com in the amount of $565.98 to be paid out of the Office Equipment Capital reserve Fund. Motion Passes.
Charrette – Planning Meeting
Mr. DeBold will attend the April 28 meeting.
Library Issue
Mrs. Noel discussed with the board an invoice from Capital Alarm for $295 is the yearly cost and the repairs. The library would like some bulletin board space in the lobby if possible and they work with Jodi and Evelyn. Finally the Library Trustees would like to take some time and discuss with the board about entering into a Memorandum of Understanding regarding the building maintenance of the library.
Mr. Paveglio suggested separating the building costs in the next year’s budget.
Public Input:
Alan Quimby stated had a chat with the neighbor who inquired about the fence? If we do that it will only go to the tree line and the property line will have to be re-established and he may have to move his buildings. The Board of selectmen will take it under advisement.
Alan Quimby stated during a chainsaw training we cut trees down and trees are still there. It was stated that these trees would be given to the less fortunate residents in town but they are still there. Consensus of the board was the trees will be staying on town property.
Jason Weir stated I went through the abatement process. I would like to be contacted when the board reviews my abatement decision. The process went fine and reviewed the assessment with me.
Jason Weir submitted an ATV policy for consideration. The snowmobile trails cannot have wheeled vehicles on those trails. My goal is to start down a path to generate relationships between the snowmobiles and ATVs.
Mr. Paveglio suggested creating an exploratory committee with a selectmen, police chief, and fire chief.
Mrs. Noel stated I have to speak for the others in town who do not like these types of things. There has to be a balance to accommodate all of our citizens.
A motion was made by Mr. DeBold and seconded by Mr. Paveglio to adjourn the meeting at 8:05pm. Motion Passes
Respectfully submitted,
Not approved until signed
