Chichester Board of Selectmen
Minutes of Meeting
Tuesday, December 2, 2014
Member Present: Richard DeBold, Michael Paveglio, Jeffrey Jordan, Town Administrator Jodi Pinard
Others Present: Ann Davis, Philip Hitchcock, Alan Mayville, Donna Chagnon, Lucille Noel, Jim Plunkett
Call to Order: Mr. DeBold called the meeting to order at 6:30pm.
Appointments:
Jim Plunkett stated he has reviewed his budget to see if he had enough remaining to purchase a new poly sander for the one ton truck. I have spoken to the Board about this in the past and had given quotes. I’ve waited to ensure that I would not go over budget. This sander would be used for town buildings and smaller roads off of Route 4. This also assists when we are called out for a spot treatment.
Mr. Paveglio asked if he had any repairs that would be charged to the Government Vehicle Maintenance Trust Fund?
Mr. Plunkett stated I believe the transmission repair for the one ton and the towing of the 2013 dump truck should be taken out of that trust fund.
A motion was made by Mr. Paveglio and seconded by Mr. DeBold to authorize the purchase a new 1.8 yard poly sander for the one ton truck from EW Sleeper in the amount of $4,650. This will over expend the sander maintenance line but will not over expend the bottom line of the highway budget. Motion Passes
Jim Plunkett stated the department is still waiting for the truck to come back. The 2013 was having a misfiring issue with the regeneration system. It was brought to Liberty International today. The truck was repaired while it was there and it was covered under the warranty.
General Business/Board Discussion:
Personnel Policy Changes
Mr. Paveglio stated there really are not that many changes as I remember talking with Nancy about this. The Personnel Policy will be reviewed at the next meeting.

Rmon $14,592.00
