1. Cont review of the 2011 Selectmen’s Meeting schedule
The Board reviewed their schedule for the year and made note of when they are unable to attend due to scheduled vacations and work commitments. The Board set their next meeting for Thursday, January 13, 2011 instead of Monday, January 10, 2011 due to a scheduling issue.
IV. New Business
A. 2011 Default Budget
The Board reviewed and approved the final 2011 proposed budget for the town’s insurance prepared by Town Administrator Nancy Wrigley for a total of $80,062.00
The Board reviewed and prepared the default budget per RSA 40:13, IX(b) which after making an additional reduction to the legal budget, the default budget came in the same as the 2011 proposed operating budget at $2,829,762.00.

The Board reviewed a prepared list of warrant articles from Town Administrator Nancy Wrigley. The Board made some changes/recommendations; the Board will review the revised warrant at their next meeting scheduled for Thursday, January 13, 2011.

VIII. Other Business
- Sign Manifests, Requisitions, Abatements, Tax Credits, Correspondence and Appointments
- The Board approved the Payroll Manifest for the pay period ending January 1, 2011.
- Selectman Donovan signed the request for payment to Yvette Nicol for $112.44 to be paid from the recreation programs budget. This expenditure was approved on December 29, 2010 but did not include a signature from the Board and it was unclear which budget line item to apply this amount.
- The Board prepared a letter of response to Deb Holden due to her request for reimbursement for locks for the picnic tables at the town beach. Due to Holden’s resignation as a member of the recreation commission prior to the date of the purchase of locks makes it impossible to approve this reimbursement request.

Mary B. Winglass, Office Manager
