Appointments:
6:00 – Rebecca Reed – Mrs. Reed requested a sign be posted between the State Park and the center of town stating “no littering”. She further indicated she has discussed this with Frank and they agree it is a problem in that area. It is possible that trash is falling off vehicle when going to the Recycle Center. A sign might help, it was suggested Chief Giammarino sit there and ticket those who are violators, as he has indicated he would ticket anyone who is caught littering, it is a $250.00 fine.
Selectman Dumas discussed the Recycle Committee and the spring clean-up are both positive steps, they may help.
Selectmen will check with DOT in Swanzey and ask that two signs be posted, a sign posted at the recycle center reminding people to tie their trash down efficiently may help. We will write to the State Park to also remind their campers and let them know they will be fined. Police will patrol and they will fine violators. Minutes to Chief Giammarino & Mr. Pelkey. NH The Beautiful might be able to provide a sign, this will be looked into.
The GIVers are having a meeting next month, Mrs. Reed will discuss this matter at the meeting.
Mrs. Reed presesnted a written complaint to be presented to the Code Officer for review of junk vehicles ordinance etc. The Administrative Assistant will put it in Mr. Hopkins mail box.
