Acting Chairman Dowling spoke of the meeting regarding the Water Department debt update and the Secretary said it is still forthcoming, once the auditors are able to give us a date.

The Secretary checked with LGC about the appropriate way to handle the Ordinance which was approved by voters in March and was told to add the date of approval to it.

“No vehicle shall be operated within the Town of Carroll in such a manner as to create the spinning of tires, or an excessively noisy or disruptive manner. This shall include the over revving of a vehicles’ motor in the event of rapid and unnecessary acceleration. No person shall operate a vehicle within the Town of Carroll so that the lives and safety of any person may be at risk
a) Any violation of this ordinance shall be subject to a fine of not less than
$100.00 and no more than $1,000.00.

March 12, 2013 – Passed by Town Meeting”

Also, the Select Board needs to delegate the enforcing authority and vote on it at a meeting. Therefore, Selectman Moroney made a Motion to: Delegate the Police Department as the enforcing authority for the Ordinance. Selectman Dowling seconded and it passed unanimously.

The following items were approved and signed:

Melanson Heath & Company, PC – Engagement Letter
Mitchell Municipal Group, P.S. – Engagement Letter/Fee Agreement
Legal Representation Letter – 2012 Audit
Yield Tax Warrant & Certification – Hunt Properties, LLC
Property Tax Abatement – Cline, Caponette, Pouliot

The legal representation letter is to be sent to any company which did legal work for the town during the audit year so the Auditors may confirm the work and determine if there are any cases that overlap the next year.

The tax abatements were all campers that had either been registered or moved to another property prior to April 1.

Other:

The Secretary had a letter from Scott and Leslie Sonia about closing their shelter, “Claws and Paws” which they requested be read at the meeting. Selectman Dowling read it and asked that it be attached to the minutes.

Evan Karpf spoke about the Master Plan Committee and said there will be a poster and display at the July Fourth event here in Town. This will be a brief survey about what people like and/or dislike about the town, their favorite place, etc. They’re trying to get input and they encourage everyone to come to the display. He went on to say the regular Planning Board meeting will be Thursday, July 11, because of the Holiday. Prior to this meeting, the Master Plan Committee will meet at 6 p.m.

Greg Hogan, Road Agent, referred to the water line project recently completed on Paquette Drive. As there is some finish/repair work to be done and considering the condition of the road, he said it would make sense to repave it now and that he has received two written quotes as well as a verbal quote from Pike. Selectman Dowling asked how quickly he needed an answer and he responded the sooner the better as they can get on the paver’s schedule and get it done, as everyone is very busy. Selectman Moroney said the reason the pipe was changed was because of the condition it was in and there had been much water lost due to the leaking. Selectman Dowling asked if the pipe going across was done and the road paved. Dave Scalley said it is done and they are waiting to find out which company the town is going to use for paving so they can use the same one and coordinate with them. Mr. Hogan said the two written quotes are Central Asphalt Paving, $19,560 and Blaktop, $19,836, and the Town has used both. Selectman Dowling said he would recommend Blacktop and made a Motion to: Go with Blaktop to pave Paquette Drive. Selectman Moroney seconded and the motion passed unanimously.

All were encouraged to attend the Family Fun Event & Fireworks sponsored by the Parks and Rec Commission on July 4th.

As there was no further business, the Board was polled and went into non-public session for personnel and town aid matters at 7:15 p.m.

At the close of Non-Public Session, Selectman Dowling moved to return to Public Session and seal the minutes from Non-Public Session. Selectman Moroney seconded and the Motion passed unanimously.

There being no further discussion, Selectman Dowling made a Motion to: adjourn the meeting. Selectman Moroney seconded and the Motion passed unanimously. Acting Chairman Dowling declared the meeting ended at 7:38 p.m. The next meeting will be Monday, July 15, 2013
