TOWN OF LYME
BOARD of SELECTMEN
Minutes
January 31, 2007
The Board of Selectmen met at 8:00 am at the Fire Station Training Room for the regularly scheduled meeting.
Present: Dina Cutting, Vickie Davis, Carole Bont, Judy Brotman, Dick Jones, Charles Ragan and Pauline Field.
1. The Board voted by unanimous roll call vote to go into Non-Public Session under RSA 91-A:3 II (a) to discuss compensation of an employee.
2. The Board returned to public session, having voted by unanimous roll call vote to seal the minutes.
3. The Board signed the Fireworks contract for the July 7th celebration.
4. The Board approved the use of electricity at the public works facility for the engine block heaters for the school buses. (However, the buses should be parked at a location approved by the Road Agent – and not in a manner that compromises the Transfer Station operation.)
5. The Board approved the minutes of 1/24/07.
6. The Board signed the Manifest.
7. The Board approved the Intent to Cut for Hewes, Map 401, Lot 39
8. The Board reviewed two Current Use applications, and requested additional information before making a decision on the applications.
a. Purcell, Map 401, Lot 45, 84 Dartmough College Highway
b. Wohlforth, Map 490, Lot 9, 62 Pout Pond Lane
9. The Board reviewed the ARC Mechanical air quality quote and the Carpet King carpet replacement quote.
10. The Board has received a request from the Selectmen in Canaan for a perambulation of the Canaan/Lyme town line. Vickie Davis will prepare a response for the Board’s signatures and, as the designated “perambulator”, will set up a date.
11. The Board discussed a request to use the Lyme Center Academy Building for 6 weeks this May & June. The Board is not comfortable giving a blanket permission for this amount of time, but did discuss an alternative, which would be 9 am to 7 pm, Monday through Saturday, with the stipulation that the previously scheduled, and customary users, would be able to continue with their use. The fee for this use would be $5 for each hour the building is in use, with a $125 deposit. The group would be expected to keep the place clean and secure.
12. The Board reviewed Dave Washburn’s request to be appointed as a Temporary Supervisor of the Checklist for the upcoming March town meeting. The Board was reminded that Dave was previously appointed a Temporary supervisor through the March town meeting, so no new appointment is necessary.
13. The Board appointed George Hartman to a 3 year term on the Zoning Board of Adjustment.
14. The Board voted unanimously by roll call vote to go into non-public session under RSA 91-A:3 II (a) to discuss a personnel issue.
15. The Board returned to public session having voted by unanimous roll call vote to seal the minutes.
16. The Board voted unanimously by roll call vote to go into non-public session under RSA 91-A:3 II (c) to discuss an issue which could affect the reputation of an individual.
17. The Board returned to public session having voted by unanimous roll call vote to seal the minutes.
18. Recycling Pays! - Just a brief “pat on the back” to the Transfer Station Committee, the Transfer Station employees and all the Transfer Station Users:
a. Lyme Recycled 191 tons of paper – saving 3,247 trees
b. Lyme Recycled 45 tons of scrap metal – conserving 45,000 pounds of coal
The Meeting adjourned at 10:02 am.
Respectfully submitted,
Judith Lee Shelnutt Brotman
