Appointments:
Department Heads:
Police – Chief Pat Clarke stated that Officer Clark graduated on Friday. He is back in Chichester and we are finalizing the schedule.
Mr. Jordan stated that it is great to see the police department on the side roads watching for speeders.
Emergency Management – John Martell stated nothing to report.
Building – John Freeman stated that we have had a little more activity. 6 total permits 2 of which are commercial.
Fire – Mrs. Pinard read the report submitted by the fire department:
As reported at the last dept. meeting all vehicles are inspected with the exception of Car-1 which has some brake and wheel bearing issues which are being repaired at the garage. All vehicles have new registrations which expire in 2020. As I type this the NH Bureau of EMS has arrived at the station to do a spot inspection of the ambulances. (this is to make certain they meet state requirements) Working on quotes to repair the radiator in Rescue 2, as a reminder the rear tires need to be replaced as well. Spoke with Jim about crack sealing the driveway as the cracks have all opened up again. Fire permits for outside burning are now required, permits can now be obtained online for $3 fee. The skid unit is back on Forestry 2 and both Forestry 1 & 2 are ready for brush season.
Library – Lucille Noel stated the biggest thing right now is the Book sale coming up on the 17th. The meeting room is very busy. Also we have a photography workshop coming up with Brad Towle. On April 30th we are doing a workshop on bees for kids. We are also working on the 10 year plan and getting input from the residents.
Highway – Jim Plunkett stated that we are putting gravel down and filling the potholes. We are hoping to start grading next week. I have also contacted one person regarding the door for the salt shed. But the shed needs some work. The 2004 dump truck went in for inspection and the truck needs brakes. I think a full time person is the way to go. I would need to hire 2 part timers if I did not hire a full timer and it works out to be roughly the same amount of money.
