Imre Szauter, Chair of the Building Committee, gave his report. He stated the Committee met March 1st and following the meeting a shuttle bus was available to take interested parties to the Franconia Public Safety building for a tour.
On March 6, Szauter and Allan Clark attended an informational session on a grant program and application process.
Szauter thanked Rena Vecchio and Mike Gooden for their supportive letters that were sent into the Democrat. He also thanked Mike for his time spent at the transfer station talking to people and answering questions on the project.
Szauter reported as of this date, no money has been spent from the budget line. There has been $34,692.36 spent from the warrant article and $25,307 remaining. Imre said he’d like to thank everyone who helped bring Article 2 before the Board.

Selectman Scalley asked what happens to the remaining money in the warrant article and can it be used to offset costs of the new building if it passes.

Selectman Bussiere stated he had followed up on the Intent to Excavate for Carl Brooks. Carl’s paperwork is good through 2019 and he’ll have to renew for anything done in 2019. Paul said he has also given the information to the ZBA and to Rena as the Secretary. Bussiere said Carl asked about getting copies of the original Intent. Selectman Scalley said he found the minutes and Carl’s Intent is good until January 9, 2019 and then he needs to reapply. Scalley told Brooks to make sure he renews early.
Selectman Scalley said he spoke with Vic from Franconia Gas. Vic cannot match the $1.54 as quoted by a previous Franconia Gas employee who no longer works there. The best price Vic can do is $1.64/gallon and will prorate any previous outstanding bills. He will also send a contract to lock in the price for one year. Selectman Scalley made a motion to approve the $1.64/gal to apply to past bills and to sign the contract for a year when the paperwork is ready. Selectman Bussiere seconded and the Motion passed.
Selectman Bussiere, as outgoing Selectman, said he wanted to thank everyone for their time and patience while he was on the Board. Bussiere thanked those in attendance and said he wished more people would come to meetings. Several people thanked Paul for his time.
The Secretary checked in with the Board on behalf of the Moderator that they had a schedule set to be at the election the following day.
Mike Gooden spoke stating he had been at the transfer station on Tues., March 6 and had spoken with people and handed out 58 of his personal letters as well as some of the Building Committee flyers. On Sat., March 10 he returned and handed out 41 letters and additional flyers.
Greg Hogan stated they had the chance to demo a sidewalk clearing machine and were pretty impressed with the results. Chris Pappas asked if it plowed or was it more like a snow thrower. Greg said it is Ventrac which is an all wheel drive articulating machine that they would use the snow thrower but it could plow. Options they would look at are a power broom for cleaning sidewalks and light snow, plow, heated cab and sander. Greg stated rough pricing with options is under $50,000.
The next meeting will be Monday, March 26, 2018.
