A thank you letter to JROTC for the assistance on Memorial Day was reviewed. Chairman Bussiere made a Motion to sign the letter and Selectman Mycko seconded. The Motion passed unanimously.

Chairman Bussiere followed up the discussion on the structural assessment of the Town Hall with a proposal from an Engineering company for $3400. Michael Hogan asked if the Engineers come back and say the building should be condemned, would the Selectman release this information to the public and shut it down? Greg Hogan asked if there was a plan for the current Town Hall. He asked if we should spend this money if we are planning on building a new Town Hall. Selectman Mycko said he believes we should go through with it. He said even if the Town approves a new building, it will take awhile. It should be done to be safe. Selectman Scalley asked if this money had been planned for in the budget. Greg said no but he can find the money for it but it will affect something else. Imre Szauter spoke and said liability is a huge issue if you suspect there is a problem and nothing is done. He also went on to say that a company like this is a disinterested third party doing an evaluation with the emotion removed. The results can be brought to the voters for future decisions on the building. Selectman Scalley made a motion to approve the contract and Selectman Mycko seconded. All were in favor.

The next follow up item was the open cellar hole on Route 3 South. Chairman Bussiere stated that the Town received correspondence from the Town Attorney and this is a civil matter. The recommendation from the Attorney is that unless the Selectmen determine that it is a severe danger to the Townspeople, that they don’t act. Selectman Scalley requested that a letter be written to the original complainant to inform him of the Town’s position.

Follow up items of town hall permit application, building permit procedure and employee manual were all tabled.

Other:

The Selectmen were presented with a Sign Permit from Michelle Palys. In the paperwork she states the sign will be temporary as the business will not be open year round and questioned whether a permit will be needed. A question was brought up whether she needed a permit from the State as well due to the location on Route 302. Selectman Scalley said he had a call into the State and hadn’t heard back. Chairman Bussiere stated he would look into it. The Selecmen’s Office will give the paperwork to the code enforcement officer as well for his input.

Greg Hogan asked the Selectmen their thoughts on switching over where the trash from the transfer station from Bethlehem to Berlin. Trucking would be a little more money but the tipping fees would be less. Greg said that we’ve been told that in 5-7 years the Bethlehem facility will be closing. People will be looking to take their trash elsewhere and we’ve heard that Berlin will not be taking everyone. By changing now, we will be sure that we’re all set. The new contracts need to be signed and we are not currently under any contract with anyone. The Selectmen said they’d like to review the contracts before they are signed and Greg said he would get them.

Bonnie Moroney said she’d like to thank all who helped with the Memorial Day Parade. She said in the past we’ve given JROTC a donation and she requested we do $100.00 donation again. Selectman Scalley made a motion to donate $100 to JROTC and Selectman Mycko seconded. All were in favor. Imre Szauter followed up by thanking everyone for the Memorial Day program.
