Minutes of the October 31, 2006 meeting
In attendance: Linda Dowling, Chair; Carmine Fabrizio, Karen Moran, Bonnie Moroney. Excused: Ken Mills, Tom Gately, Pam Walsh. Others present: Evan Karpf, Joan Karpf, John Goodney, Bill Dowling.
Chair called the meeting to order at 7:00.
Bonnie motioned to accept the minutes of the 10/24/06 meeting, Carmine seconded, all in favor.
Chair contacted the Moderator regarding the Elections and Registrations portion of the budget. He is not responsible for the budget, suggested perhaps the elected supervisors of the checklist would know. Karen will contact Sue K at the office and get detail gl printout so the committee can review the budget and actuals for reasonableness.
Evan Karpf discussed the budget for 2007 of the Planning Board. Board meets monthly, has 7 members including 2 alternates. Board reviews major applications for site plans, developments, Mount Washington resort plans, etc. Master Plan line item is a new account. Discussion ensued about the legal expense line item. Leave within the Planning Board budget, is only combined into one legal account for the DRA MS-7.
Chair asked if the selectmen simply used last year’s budget for this year’s budget. (Although the budget worksheet showed different figures) Evan said he had provided a detailed budget request.
Planning Board fees include engineering and application fees, mylar, certified mail, etc, with most of those offsetting the expense side.
Provan & Lorber review subdivisions and some site plans. Stan Borkowski is the code enforcement officer
Account 4191.10-903, Maps, refers to map overlay of property lines for things like the aquifer protection warrant that passed in March 2006. Discussion followed about the Planning Board map costs and the Tax map costs in account 01-4150.10-250. They are probably related.
Evan suggested that he would consider a fee increase proposal such that subdivisions would pay for themselves.
New account called Good/Welfare is a “donation” account.
Chair offered to make photocopies of Evan’s proposal at a later date. Joan also had a proposal for the committee for the Zoning Board. A recess was called at 7:30 while photocopies were made. 7:40 called back to order.
Joan Karpf discussed the Zoning Board of Adjustment, saying they do not meet monthly, rather as needed. Secretary salary was based on an average $ per 2 hour long meeting. 5 member board salary set at 12 months, $10 per member per meeting or $600 per year. Chair asked if alternates could vote, if they can and/or should attend meetings, if they are paid if not needed. Joan indicated alternates do not have to attend, and if not needed, would not be paid, even if they attend. Bonnie provided chair with the NH Planning and Land Use Guide for 2005-2006.
Chair asked about the time spent by the ZBA secretary during her regular working hours, and if that is segregated. Discussion ensued about the minimal amount of time involved.
Joan indicated the postage expense for the ZBA would involve mailing information to abutters. Further discussion about the legal expense line item, as with the Planning Board.
Chair asked Evan about possible warrant articles, despite Committee having no authority over them. Evan suggested perhaps 3.
Evan and Joan had new budget items for the Conservation Committee and the Health Officer. Chair stated that was not on the agenda. Karpfs then excused themselves.
John Goodney for the Emergency Management section indicated the radio line item of $100 could go away, as he had a radio from the Fire Department of which he is a member. He suggested the following:
01-4290.10-100 Director Salary $300
01-4290.10-200 Training $200 down from $800 because he said most training is free.
