The Sheet rocking of the meeting room is done and they are looking for volunteers to paint.
Building Inspector: The Building Inspector has had a busy month. There were 16 permits with fees of $2,430.80.
Police: The new cruiser is in. There will be a checkpoint soon.
EMD: John Martell will provide a copy of the sheltering agreement for the Selectmen to sign.
Heritage: The members of the Heritage Commission are very concerned that Unitil began cutting trees on Scenic Roads without approval. The Commission would like it noted to the Utility. They are disappointed that the Planning Board had an opportunity to make impose stricter cutting regulations on them and chose not to. Lucille Noel noted that in the Master Plan people were concerned about maintaining rural character such as tree lined streets, stone walls and winding scenic roads.
Mr. Paveglio pointed out that Unitil is now on a five year rotation. The cut looks severe this year because it has not been done in a long time. Next time, if done timely, the cut should not be as severe.
The Selectmen seemed to agree that the cut was not appealing and they would like Nancy to draft a letter to Unitil.
Mr. Paveglio made a motion seconded by Mr. DeBold that all permissions for scenic roads go through the Selectmen. Motion passed.
The Commission would like permission to hang a banner on the Grange during the summer season for Historic Main Street. The Selectmen approve.
Alan Perron
Mr. Perron came in to talk about his property which is up for tax deeding. He is prepared to make payments on his property of $350/month which will pay off the 2009 taxes by the end of the year. In light of this information the Selectmen feel it would not be in the best interest of the Town to take ownership of this property. They have refused to accept the deed; however Mr. Perron knows that if he misses a payment the subject will be revisited.
Other Business
Grange Hall Ceiling: The Selectmen would like quotations on having the ceiling painted and the walls painted. Nancy questioned whether the walls needed painting. The Selectmen would like them quoted separately.
Rural Water Supply report: The Selectmen would like Matt Cole to review the report with them.
Carpenter Park Project: Mr. DeBold discussed the bids for the perimeter trail project at Carpenter Park. The Park and Recreation Committee recommends awarding the project to Northeast Landscaping who had the lowest base price bid.
Mr. DeBold made a motion to award the bid to Northeast Landscaping for $25,200 contingent upon Governor and Council’s approval of the time extension. Deadline for completion is July 27th. Mr. Paveglio seconded the motion. Mr. Jordan stated that he feels the bid should be awarded to Frank Merrill since he will most likely be doing other aspects of the entire project. The motion passes 2-1 (Jordan voted no).
Zoning: Michelle Plunkett brought forward a complaint about a neighboring property with too many unregistered motor vehicles and noise. Jeff Jordan will investigate.
Mr. DeBold and Mr. Jordan feel that the Patten property has now been brought into compliance.
Steed property: Selectmen continue to defer while Nancy attempts to locate the second property owner.
Fire Station fence: Mr. Paveglio feels that the fence should be replaced from the end of the building to the road. He feels that the trees are a good buffer for the remainder of the property line. He is working on getting pricing and will follow-up with the abutting homeowner.
Kelly Ayotte: A representative from Kelly Ayotte’s office will have hours at the Town Office on June 27th from 10 – 11am.
