Public Hearing – Hawkers, Peddlers, and Itinerant Vendor Regulation
A hearing was held to receive public comment on the proposed Hawkers, Peddlers and Itinerant Vendor Regulation Ordinance. Mr. Paveglio and others wanted to hear what the opinion of the Police Chief was. Chief Clarke said it is good to know who will be going door to door. He also said it would provide the Police with some “teeth” to stop those who are not licensed. He said he would like to see a sticker or quick identifier issued to those with licenses.
Richard Millette is not in favor of more regulations. He feels the State already has regulations in place for vendors. State Licensure of vendors was discussed.
Mr. Jameson felt it would be good to know who the vendors are, but felt the fee should cover costs only.
Mr. Houle feels that the Ordinance will not accomplish the safety goals. He feels that people who do not have good intentions will not come to the office to obtain a license.
Mr. Jameson felt the number of people at the hearing was a small representation of the Town and asked if it could be brought up at Town Meeting. There could be a non binding resolution at Town Meeting.
The general feeling was most of the people in attendance did not feel the ordinance was necessary.
Mr. Paveglio made a motion seconded by Mr. Jordan not to adopt the proposed Hawkers, Peddlers, and Itinerant Vendor Regulation Ordinance. Motion passes (DeBold voted no).
Other Business
Michele Plunkett: Michele Plunkett said that she was bothered during last weeks meeting when Mr. Paveglio looked at his phone during the interview with the McAnneys. Mr. Paveglio gave apologies and will contact the McAnneys to apologize as well.
Comcast: Mr. Paveglio reports there are still about five items that Comcast has not addressed. He feels we should not enter into a long term contract at this time. Nancy will set up a final meeting with the Cable Committee.
Abatements: Map 2 Lot 32-B – The Assessor recommends denial for the following reasons:
1. Tax Abatement was granted for the 2008 tax year to account for the mold issues in the dwelling.
2. All property taxes shall be assessed on the inventory taken in April of that year and the dwelling was not torn down until May 11.
Mr. Jordan made a motion seconded by Mr. DeBold to deny the abatement request for map 2 lot 32B. Motion passes.
Map 2 Lot 51-17 - The Assessor is recommending an abatement to reduce the overall assessment by $15,700.
Mr. DeBold made a motion seconded by Mr. Paveglio to approve the abatement request on map 2 lot 51-17 as recommended by the assessor to reduce the overall assessment to $406,900. Motion Passes.
Noonans: Nancy received a letter from the Noonans stating that the camper was moved to the ROW where it is for sale.
