Pete Bleyler called this meeting to order at 11:35 am.
1. Dick Jones made the motion to approve the minutes of public and non-public session of meeting held October 10, 2006. Frank Bowles seconded the motion and the motion passed in the affirmative by voice vote.
2. Geoff Thornton relayed concerns brought forth by Chief Pauline Field about the current layout of the proposed building and addition on the Tuckaway property. In short, Pauline would rather have her office space more toward the rear of the building, for better privacy and closer to where the cruisers would be garaged. Geoff and Frank will see what they can do to address this.
3. Pete advised the committee that a Purchase and Sales document had been received from the Mather’s (Tuckaway) and later a revised P&S was received. Town Attorney, Walter Mitchell has been sent this for review and Carole and Pete have participated in a conference call with Mr. Mitchell to discuss the terms, which included but are not limited to : A non-refundable down payment (to be applied to the sale price if accepted) and relief from property taxes until the sale becomes final. The down payment could come from the Public Land Acquisition Fund. The Planning Board and Conservation Commission should be consulted before committing to a signed P&S.
4. Motion was made by Carole Bont and seconded by Frank Bowles to enter Non-Public session in accordance with RSA:91-A2,II(d), in consideration of the purchase, sale or lease of real property which if discussed in public would likely benefit a party or parties whose interests are adverse to those of the general community at 11:58AM. Motion was approved by roll call vote.
5. Motion was made by Dick Jones and seconded by Frank Bowles to exit Non-Public session. Motion was made to keep the minutes of Non-Public Session sealed under RSA 91-A:3,II(d) as divulgence of the information would likely render the proposed action ineffective. Voted in the affirmative by roll call vote.
6. Carole reminded us that Budget Committee presentations start November 8th.
7. Geoff asked if he should proceed with changing the plans as previously mentioned and obtaining “hard” estimates for budgeting purposes. The committee agreed to continue with the planning process, getting as much accurate information compiled as possible for Town Meeting.
8. Next meeting will be Monday November 6th.
9. Meeting was adjourned at 12:30.
Patty Jenks, recorder
