Frank Merrill stated that he just wants to put the binder down for the entire roadway but not put a top coat until after all of the houses are built. He does need two Class VI Road waivers so that he can get a building permits for the two lots that are under contract.
The Board signed the two Class VI roadway waivers for Map 9 Lot 32A-1 and Map 9 Lot 32A-2.
Department Heads
Police – Chief Clarke stated that I only have one thing. Kate Mara contacted me regarding a raffle permit for the school.
The Board signed the raffle permit.
Emergency Management – John Martell stated that there is nothing to report.
Fire – Chief Quimby stated that we have our ALS contract with the City of Concord, there is no price increase. The Board will need to sign the contract.
A motion was made by Mr. DeBold and seconded by Mr. Paveglio to enter into a three year agreement with the City of Concord for ALS Intercept Services. Motion Passes.
While the Hilliard Road culvert was being replaced we were able to install a dry hydrant at the same time.
The surplus equipment that we no longer are in need of we would like to donate to Randolph VT, Fire Department. They recently had a fire and lost the majority of their equipment.
Consensus of the Board was to allow the donation of this equipment.
Mrs. Pinard stated that roughly two weeks ago we had a flood at the Safety Building. The fire trucks were being washed and it flooded the holding cell in the Police Department. We called Clean Harbors to check the oil separator tank. They have recommended flushing the drainage pipes and pumping out the oil separator tank. The cost of this would be $2,050. I am asking the Board to approve this so that we can prevent this from happening again.
A motion was made by Mr. Paveglio and seconded by Mr. DeBold to approve Clean Harbors to complete flushing of the pipes and emptying of the oil separator tank at the Safety Building to be paid out of the Town Facilities Capital Reserve Fund. Motion Passes
Highway – Jim Plunkett stated that the Hilliard Road culvert has been completed. I finished reclaiming Smith Sanborn. I have started Hutchinson Road. Last Tuesday I had the catch basin company come in and they cleaned all of Garvin’s Hill and Staniels Road. Advanced Excavation and Paving is coming in to start their shimming and overlay on Thursday. Last Monday we had a RAC meeting. Today I worked on the final bid documents for the road reconstruction projects. We are working on two different bids for roadway reconstruction. One will be for Bear Hill Road and the other is for Horse Corner Road. RAC’s intent is to complete Horse Corner but they wanted to get an idea of what Bear Hill would cost as well. RAC has a new chairman and it is Allen Mayville.
Library – Lucille Noel stated that we have a book sale on the 19th and the Library Trustees are meeting Monday to discuss the proposed lift to be installed in the Library.
Tax Deed - Map 3 Lot 68B
Mr. DeBold stated that this has been something ongoing. Six months ago we decided that we would grant the interested parties a six month reprieve. The back taxes have not been paid.
Mr. Austin asked that the discussion be held in non-public as it regarding personal finances.

Financial Audit 2015
