HWY: Dave has received quotes for winter sand if town picks up at Decatos cost would be $5.85 a yard all other quotes are $5.95 and up delivered. Dave feels that they can pick up on off days and save the town the extra money and the sand from Decatos is better than most.
The town can place new signs on Hutchinson Road but state regulations would be imposed and the posting would be 30 miles per hour, Dave will post when the selectmen tell him that is what they want.
Center Road will be approximately $10,000.00 to grind and $6,000.00 for gravel, the road is showing extreme ware and the winter will be even harder on the road. Dave feels he has enough in the summer budget remaining to fix the road. The Selectmen will discuss it in the next couple of weeks and let him know what they think.
Dave will go see Mr. Wolf at Millican Nursery to discuss Pleasant Street.

There are logs in place for each truck, each driver is responsible for signing in and stating the purpose of the use. The dispatch association will have a significant increase up to approximately $4000.00, because of increased use.
Mr. Paveglio wanted to clarify the issuance of radios, they have purchased enough for ride positions not every member.
Handicapped parking spot is painted and now needs a sign. They would like to move the building sign to the other side of the parking lot, Mr. Paveglio will work on this the PD is willing to help with the cost.

What was Exxon/Gulf approved for, that is what the brought to the Planning Board that they would not exceed what was existing. Board to discuss with Planning Board about signage at Hess. Hess requests to be on Planning Board agenda.
SUBJECT: Brandon & Katrina Giuda Current Use Change
Mr. Giuda presented the Board with a well-defined area of the property in question. When the assessor came to the property the woman may have looked at 7 or 8 acres but misclassified 17 acres. The house site is 3.25 acres and 34 acres is farmland, the remaining acreage should be classified as Current Use. The Driving Range was there before the Giuda’s purchased the property and they feel they should not be penalized for the change that occurred years ago. The Driving Range will no longer operate. The Board will take the assessment under advisement.

SUBJECT: McKenzie Property Map 9, Lot 8
Mr. McKenzie came to the Board tonight after being notified by a postal friend that he had a piece of certified mail that was returned.
