•Donna Nashawaty reported that it was decided at the last School Board meeting that the School will produce their own annual report this year.
•Donna Nashawaty and Tony Bergeron met with the DOT regarding the development that was foreclosed on about six months ago that is located on Brook Road. The subdivision has not been completed and the road has not been accepted. There was a road bond for $100,000, which Donna Nashawaty called a few months back The DOT is concerned about the driveway permit that was issued to the Builder. The DOT purchased two large culverts and the builder was supposed to install them, but the drive was not constructed according to the subdivision plan approval. Donna Nashawaty has to send this back to the Planning Board because the DOT would like a bond and it’s up to the Planning Board subdivision approval to hold the Builder accountable.
Chairman Gallup asked if the bond was pulled and Donna Nashawaty said it was, but only for the road. DOT did not ask for a bond covering the drive, but now are stating any future work will require a bond to NH DOT. The Planning Board can call a halt to the subdivision until it is brought up to “specs”. The current owner is being told by his Attorney, that all the agreements were with the previous owner and he does not need to comply with any of them.

Selectman Brown asked if the town issued permits, could the town make the person requesting the fireworks permit is responsible if fireworks are set off under that permit. Donna Nashawaty stated that you can’t charge someone for violating a noise or fireworks ordinance unless you can prove it was them. After some discussion, the Board will wait to hear the Town Attorney suggestions.
•Chairman Gallup said the Board should think about having a non-public session at the next meeting to discuss the Fenton/Mt. Kearsarge contact.
