Mr. Paveglio questioned Jim getting paid overtime for the Road Advisory Committee meetings. Nancy feels Jim is an hourly employee and if you require him to attend meetings he should be paid, however, the Selectmen have the option of asking him to adjust his hours so that he does not go over forty.
Mr. Jordan said that Bailey Road looks great.
Fire Department: Lt. Cole reported on Engine 3. Engine 3 was at Lakes Region Fire Apparatus due to some mechanical issues. It had to go in a second time for a noticeable loss of power.

If the department can get Engine 3 back in service by race day. That truck with a crew will go to Loudon.
