Meeting Minutes
August 19, 2019
“These minutes of the Town of Carroll Select Board have been recorded by its Secretary.

They are being made available at this time to conform to the requirements of New Hampshire RSA 91-A:2.”
Minutes recorded by Kirsten T. Hodgdon, Secretary
Board Members present: Bonnie J. Moroney, David A. Scalley, Robert W. Gauthier, Jr.
Members of the Public present: Imre Szauter, Jeremy Oleson
The meeting was called to order at 6:00 p.m. by Chairwoman Moroney.
Pledge of Allegiance.
The first item on the agenda was the construction contract from Ricci Construction Company Incorporated. Selectmen Scalley stated they had not received the contract yet and asked to have this tabled until the next meeting.
Next was discussion in regards to the building permit fees for the new municipal buildings. It was agreed upon that the permit fees are going to be waived.
Selectmen Scalley stated the Task Force has been discussing the walkways & sidewalks for the new municipal buildings. By switching those from concrete to asphalt it would save $20,000, but if we go with concrete, we would have the option to install heated sidewalks. The cost for this is an additional $20,000. He stated that concrete does breakdown quicker when it has to be salted and sanded but if they are heated it would not take on that wear and tear and would likely last the same amount of time as the asphalt. It would also be less man hours used to maintain them during the winter months.
The additional $20,000 to heat them is not currently in the building project budget. Selectmen Scalley asked the Board to think about whether they wanted to try and put a warrant article in for next year or if the money could be found in the budget, to use that. This will be followed up on at the next meeting.
The secretary presented the Board with the application for the voluntary lot merger for lots 206-017-000-000 and 206-018-000-000. This was discussed at the July 29, 2019 meeting. This application will go to the Planning Board on September 5, 2019.
Selectman Gauthier made a Motion to: Sign the application for the voluntary lot merger for lots 206-017-000-000 and 206-018-000-000. Selectman Scalley seconded and the Motion passed unanimously.
Selectmen Scalley stated that one of the Garneau boys approached Judi Scalley in regards to using the rec field for flag football for next year and that during the Community Day cookout on Saturday he was also asked by some families that are newer to town. He stated he assumed that town was insured but wasn’t sure what the process was for people to “sign-up” to use the field.
Chairwoman Moroney stated that at one point the same form was being used for the rec field as for the gym but it was typically organized through the rec department when it was fully active.
The Board asked the Secretary to look for the form that was used in the past and they would follow-up with what the process should be. It was stated that the rec field should be used for people who are residents of town.
The following items were approved and signed:
Application for Annual Payment of State Grant – FY20 – NHDES
Water Abatement – Negron; HWB Physical Therapy (3)
Certificate of Occupancy – Wheeler
Other
Chairwoman Moroney stated she spoke with Greg Hogan and asked him to come to the meeting next week to discuss the police station lease end process. She asked that he and Lori Hogan meet with Tadd Bailey to go through the police station before budget time so that any issues can be discussed and added to the budget if need be.
She stated she also spoke with Greg Hogan regarding mowing around the flower boxes that were put in by the welcome to town signs and that should be discussed at the next meeting as well. This prompted Jeremy Oleson to also mention that some of the roads around town, mostly the private ones, are getting very grown in and those should be addressed as well.
Jeremy Oleson let the Board know that the NH Legislature finally approved NFPA 1, 2015 edition and presented all the codes to see if the town will adopt them. This would be for the building codes, fire codes and any amendments as needed. He stated he has reviewed them and all changes seem reasonable.
Selectman Scalley made a Motion to: adopt the updated NH State Building Code RSA 155-A, the updated NH State Fire Code RSA 153 and any amendments to the NH State Building & Fire Codes. Chairwoman Moroney seconded and the Motion passed unanimously.
Next Jeremy Oleson let the Board know that he is going to start meeting with a sales representative from Desorcie Emergency Products in regards to getting a new engine. The rescue truck is due for replacement next year, being 15 years old. He stated he is looking at a lease/purchase option at an eMAX Commerical Pumper from E-ONE, they are a more local dealer. He is looking into possibly using some special revenue funds as well as additional funds raised by taxation. He said research is being done of new vs. used and grants are also being looked into.
He also stated that volunteers are also needed for the Fire & Ambulance and any ideas on how to recruit more people is welcome.
Imre Szauter came into the meeting late but the Board asked him if he had any opinions in regards to the walkways and sidewalks. He stated he felt that at minimum the entry way to the town hall should be heated. He thinks there are higher priories than heated walkways that the money could be spent on but if the money is available then it would be a nice feature to have.
Chairwoman Moroney said the next Selectmen’s Meeting will be Monday, August 26, 2019 at the Town Hall.
As there was no further business, the Board was polled and went into non-public session, per RSA 91-A:3 for Legal & Personnel at 6:46 p.m. Chairwoman Moroney, yes; Selectman Scalley, yes; Selectman Gauthier, yes.

There being no further discussion, Chairwoman Moroney made a Motion to adjourn the meeting. Selectman Scalley seconded and the Motion passed unanimously. Chairwoman Moroney declared the meeting ended at 7:36 p.m.
