OLD BUSINESS:
The minutes of 8/28/01 were accepted as written and signed.

NEW BUSINESS:
SUBJECT: Paul Adams
HIGHLIGHTS:
Mr. Adams inquired about our web page. He was told that our new web page is chichesternh.org.
Inquired about the “No thru trucking” on King Road. Mr. Adams is concerned that the trucks will use Kelley’s Corner Road instead. The traffic on Pleasant Street is very heavy with single and double axle trucks hauling gravel and will increase with King Road posted.
Earl Weir is doing improvements to Hilliard Road at his expense. Mr. Adams is saying that the Board cannot allow this without a Town Meeting vote. Chairman Jordan said it would need to be voted by the Board to accept it as a Town maintained road. Mr. Adams said we need a public hearing or a Town Meeting before he improves it. Mr. Weir may have to go before the Planning Board for further approval.
SUBJECT: Fire chief, John Prickett
HIGHLIGHTS:
Submitted a copy of a numbering ordinance for the Board to review.
