Joe Austin
Joe Austin wanted to address the Board in reference to a Planning Board meeting at which he was told he no longer had a project due to a subdivision and another proposed project. He was advised by the Planning Board to seek legal council. Mr. Austin referred many times to a tape of the meeting and what was said. Mr. Austin is on the Planning Board’s agenda and he would like Mr. DeBold to be present. Mr. DeBold is no longer on the Planning Board, however, Mr. Austin feels that since he was present for this meeting it would be beneficial for Mr. DeBold to be there. Nancy reported that Jamie Pike was still looking into the situation and it appeared that no decision by the Planning Board had been made.
Fuat Ari
Mr. Ari was asked to come to the meeting as a follow-up to his driveway/road frontage issue. The Selectmen explained that they could not give Mr. Ari the road frontage because they no longer own the land. The Selectmen also discussed the fact that the driveway easement could not be found at the registry. The Selectmen will work with the owner of record to have the proper paperwork filed for the easement. Mr. Ari is interested in the strip of road frontage that abuts his property. This would have to be worked out between Mr. Ari and the owner of that lot. Richard DeBold will follow-up.
David Kenneally
Mr. Kenneally wanted to speak with the Selectmen because he feels that the Road Agent is blaming him for current issues. Mr. Kenneally spoke in reference to the notes on different roads that Mr. Plunkett is using to know what to do with which roads. He said that he did not create any of those notes, they are not accurate, and should be discarded. He also spoke on files that are believed to be deleted from the Highway Department’s computer. Mr. Kenneally stated he did not delete the files. There was discussion about some of the roads in town including Mason Road which is getting worse.
Mr. Kenneally suggested that the Town engineer should have been consulted about Center Road and not Pike, who provided work for that road.
Mr. Kenneally stated that he has done all he can for the Town and he is tired of being “thrown under the bus”.
Other Business
Forest Fire Warden: Steve Stock presented nomination forms for Mike Paveglio and Paul Sanborn. Those were signed by the Board. The Department is looking at a truck in Bath, NY for purchase instead of the one in CA.
Granny Howe Road: Bette Bogdan brought in some large rocks that she found in the roadway after our highway department delivered and spread material on the road. She and some of her neighbors worked to clear out most of the large rocks. She feels this is dangerous and wanted to inform the Selectmen. Mr. Jordan spoke to the Road Agent about that section of road and the Road Agent’s intentions are to pave that section.
Town Hall Roof: One other estimate was received. The two received so far are:
Gerard Leone Slate Roofing - $1,600
Jim Place Construction - $2,050
Mr. DeBold made a motion seconded by Mr. Paveglio to award the bid to Gerard Leone Slate Roofing for $1,600 conditional upon not having received a third proposal by the end of the week. Motion passes

Toilet (dependant upon choice) $221.31 or $351.76
Replacement of well tank and associated work $802.28
The Selectmen would like to see other estimates. Jeff Jordan will follow up.
