Present: Carole Bont, Judith Brotman, Charles Ragan, Pauline Field, Patty Jenks, Pete Bleyler, Earl Strout, Simon Carr, Maryra Klee, Steve Maddock, Katie Jenks, Cynthia Bognolo, Vickie Davis, Bob Jacobson, Gina Watkins.
Action Items / Administrative Matters:
1. The Board met with Meeting with Bob Jacobson, Gina Watkins and Harvey Brotman concerning a tower for Lyme’s safety communications. After much discussion, the Board voted 2/0 to grant a municipal exemption for a 65 ft. tower for emergency services communications for Lyme. The Board will purchase the tower and pay for its installation. At this time it is unclear where the funds will come from, but the Board felt the need for the ability for police, fire and rescue to communicate was a priority.
2. The Board met with the Transfer Station Committee concerning the proposed updated charge, and Transfer Station regulations. Also discussed was the proposed location of the compactor.
a. The Board said they would again review the proposed updated charge and the regulations in the near future when all three members of the Board were sitting.
b. The Board asked the Transfer Station Committee to provide the Selectmen’s office with a copy of each of the proposals for location of the compactor, which could be reviewed by the Selectmen and any member of the public who wishes to be informed of the choices under review. Options include utilizing the existing concrete slab, installing a slab and the compactor in the approximate location of where the present truck comes in, placing the slab and compactor just out from the existing fenced in area, or placing the compactor in the fenced-in area replacing the tire bin.
3. The Board met with Dina Cutting, the Beach Supervisor concerning the status of the Beach and the status of the Independence Day celebration.
a. The Board voted 2/0 to allow Dina to contact the Conservation Commission to request permission to lower the level of the water at the Pond by removing the top of the Beaver dam, pursuant to the Conservation Commission regulations for regulating the water level at Post Pond.
b. This year’s Independence Day celebration will be SUNDAY, July 2nd, at the Skiway. This change is due to the high level of the water at the pond and the standing water on the ball field.
4. The Board signed the appointment order for Dan Brand as a Planning Board member to fulfill the unexpired term of Jeanie McIntyre (March ’07 term).
5. The Board put off a discussion and/or decision on the right-of-way to Albert Pushee’s house. The Board will take up this matter next week.
6. The Board approved and signed the Manifest.
7. Charles updated the Board on the status of the Salt Shed. Charles said the Salt Shed is scheduled to begin construction in August.
Meeting adjourned at 10:30 am.
Respectfully submitted,
Judith Lee Shelnutt Brotman
