The Board had a brief discussion regarding the proposed zoning changes and the concerns presented by the Town’s attorney. Ms. Bonser asked Mr. Brown to contact Planning Board Chair Arthur Stockus and invite him to a meeting on December 3, 2011. Monday AM is preferable to the Board. Mr. Brown will confirm a time with Mr. Stockus.
Mr. Bock recognized Marge Carlson. Marge requested that the Board sign a number of checks for accounts payable.
Mr. Brown brought the Board’s attention to a draft warrant article that he has placed in the warrant which would raise additional revenue. Discussion revolved around the impact of an additional Motor Vehicle Fee and the requirement to create a capital reserve fund for such revenues to be placed in for the purpose of transportation improvements. The enabling statute is RSA 261:153. The final determination was to table this for this year and get more information from the Town Clerk and towns that have this fee in place.
Having no further business,
Motion: Bonser, second Bock to adjourn the meeting.
Vote: All in favor. Motion passed 3-0.
Meeting adjourned at 9:47 A.M.
Respectfully submitted,
Charles A. Brown
Town Administrator
