•Scott Hazelton reviewed the follow-up inspections of the 1990 Caterpillar Grader and 2006 International 7400 Dump Truck with the Board. The inspections will assist the Highway Dept. with developing an approach to repairing and/or to replacing the aforementioned equipment in the future.
•It came to Scott Hazelton’s attention that the Water & Sewer Dept. is selling their 2004 F550 1-Ton Dump Truck.

The Water & Sewer Dept. has received a private offer of $6,000. However, as a town entity, Scott Hazelton would like to see if they would accept the trade-in value. His intent would be to eliminate the need for a new vehicle for himself for another three (3) years. The vehicle would be put into service plowing parking lots, intersections, and small one-way roads. Chairman Gallup asked how soon the Board needed to make a decision. Scott Hazelton stated that he would like to know sooner than later.
Chairman Gallup asked if a decision at the next meeting would be soon enough, so the Board can digest the request. The Board will decide at the next meeting.
•Donna Nashawaty went over the details regarding the lease/purchase agreement for the road roller.
•Chairman Gallup asked when the Town stands with the road postings, since in the past the roads have been opened as close as the first of May as possible.
Scott Hazelton has been checking the roads daily and will be takings down postings in the village district tomorrow.

•Don Bettencourt regarding Harbor House Livery meetings not having public comments on the agenda, if so, why do they have public meetings? Chairman Gallup stated that the committees are responsible for the content of their agendas. Don Bettencourt also asked if there was ways to project some of the things you are looking at up on the wall, so the audience could follow along. Donna Nashawaty will make sure copies are available to the audience.
•John Augustine asked what the recommendation of the Harbor House Livery was regarding the role of the Thrift Shop. In addition, is the Thrift Shop on the Board of Selectmen’s agenda regarding their current operation and goals?
