Appointments:
7:00PM Highway Director: Scott Hazelton
Scott Hazelton updated the Board on the paving projects one and two have been completed and have both come in under budget. With the remaining money in the budget, Scott Hazelton is proposing to redesign Winn Hill Rd., the paved portion from Rte. 11 up to the crest of the hill. Selectman Gottling asked what Scott Hazelton meant by redesigning Winn Hill Rd. Scott Hazelton stated that it was redesigning the roadway within its existing physical space. Scott Hazelton stated that there are many rocks and boulders within the road along with other issues such as drainage that need to be reconfigured before the road can be tarred. See attached sheet for more detail. Scott Hazelton also updated the Board on the Covered Bridge. The shingles and copper top ridge will be in tomorrow. It will
take them about a week to put on the shingles. There is no official date for the setting of the bridge because they are still negotiating with the crane companies. John Augustine asked if they thought it might be finished before the Fourth of July. Scott Hazelton stated he thought it might be done by the Fourth of July.
Public Comments: John Augustine stated that there is a Harbor House Livery Committee Meeting tomorrow, Tuesday June 18, 2013 at 5:00PM at the Livery. He encourages someone from the Board to attend the meeting. John Augustine also wanted an update from Donna Nashawaty on the Memorandum of Understanding with Better Future Alliance. A draft has been worked on and sent back to the Better Future Alliance. Everything is still in the works. John Augustine wanted to know if there was a deadline for it to be done. A deadline has not been established as of yet.
Peter Urbach stated that in the future it would be nice if the public who attend the Board meeting have access to the paperwork that is being discussed.

Town Manager Reports
Katz Abatement Request
The Board stated that although they understand the request, the property owner had many opportunities to appeal and did not file the appeals. The letter would state that the request would be denied as not to set a precedent for the future. Donna Nashawaty was asked to send a letter to the taxpayer.
Monthly budget through end of May
Donna Nashawaty stated that the budget was on target. No major issues to be concerned about.
Employee issue-
Donna Nashawaty approached the Board with a request to make an exception to the policy but not an official change. The employee out on medical leave has used all their sick and vacation time and another employee has offered 40 hours of their sick time to be given to the employee out on leave. The Board authorized this exception for this instance only. There was no policy change.
A motion was made by Chairman Gallup to allow the transfer of forty hours of sick time from one employee to another outside of the personal policy seconded by Hastings, unanimous.
