“These minutes of the Town of Carroll Select Board have been recorded by its Secretary.

Minutes recorded by Kelly Trammell, Secretary
Board Members present: Bonnie Moroney, David A. Scalley, Robert Gauthier Jr.

Members of the Public present: Imre Szauter, Jeremy Olseon, Deb Szauter, Michael Hogan

The meeting was called to order at 7:40 p.m. by Chairwoman Moroney.

The Board voted on their recommendations to warrant article changes. If it is possible to include the North Country Veterans warrant article, the Board voted: Moroney – yes, Scalley – yes, Gauthier – yes.

As to the petition warrant article amended to a dollar amount of zero, the Board voted: Moroney – not recommend, Scalley – not recommend, Gauthier – not recommend. The Board was unanimous in the thought process that they are pleased the amount was changed to zero but do not want their votes to reflect they are in favor of the gym remaining because of the expense it will cause the building project.

The Board reviewed a Certificate of Occupancy for Malu, LLC. Chairwoman Moroney made a motion to sign which was seconded by Selectman Scalley. All were in favor.

The Board reviewed an Intent to Cut for Whitcomb. Chairwoman Moroney made a motion to sign and Selectman Scalley seconded. All were in favor.

The Board reviewed a Right of Entry Agreement with Spectrum/Charter Communications. Chairwoman Moroney made a motion to sign and Selectman Scalley seconded the motion. All were in favor.

The Secretary advised the Board that Orr & Reno has a conflict of interest in representing the Town with Echo Lake, LLC matters. Attorney Bob Carey suggested using Simon Baker who is currently representing the Town in Boulder Mountain View matters. The Board agreed and Simon will be notified.

Imre Szauter advised the Board that he and Selectman Scalley will be meeting with the Historical Society on Wednesday about their list of items they’d like to keep. It was decided that Saturday, Feb. 22 will be the day to removed items that are approved by the Selectmen. Imre said on Thursday he is also meeting with Chairwoman Moroney at 9 a.m. to start discussing items to be moved in to the new buildings. The Board discussed locations of staff and placement of some items.

Rob Gauthier said he wanted to speak to an email sent to the Board by Allan Clark. Gauthier said in the email Clark mentioned the time crunch for the moving out of the Town Hall and that Clark had said he had some staff to assist. Gauthier said he was surprised to later hear that our option was to use the staff at an additional $60/person/hour as he thought the staff was being offered without additional fees. Gauthier said he is disappointed in communications with the project manager.

At 8:11 p.m. Chairwoman Moroney made a motion to go into non-public session per RSA 91-A:3 for Legal. The motion was seconded by Selectman Scalley and polled; Moroney – yes, Scalley – yes, Gauthier – yes.

At 8:50 p.m. Selectman Gauthier made a motion to return to public session. The motion was seconded by Selectman Scalley and passed unanimously.

Selectman Gauthier made a motion to seal the minutes. The motion was seconded by Selectman Scalley and passed unanimously.

Selectman Scalley said he’d like to look into hiring a professional cleaning service for the new buildings. The current staff does not have their own insurance and Scalley has spoken with one of them. It doesn’t sound like she has further interest. Scalley said he didn’t know of any companies. Chairwoman Moroney said she’d look into it.

Chairwoman Moroney said she’d like to address Sara Marvin’s salary. She said Sara has been doing an excellent job and has a great attention to detail. She still has a lot to learn but been a great asset to the office team. Moroney said she’d like to increase her salary $1.00/hour. She said Marvin was supposed to have a 6-month review and if she was doing well, the Selectmen had said that would be her increase. Selectman Gauthier asked if Sara was included in the 3% raise that was calculated for the other employees. Moroney said no, it was the $1.00 increase. Selectman Gauthier said he’d like Sara to have the 3% raise to be in line with the other employees. Gauthier made a motion to give Sara $1.00/hour raise beginning February 3, 2020 and another $.48/hour if the other employees also get a raise. Chairwoman Moroney seconded and the motion passed unanimously.

With no further business, Chairwoman Moroney made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Selectman Gauthier seconded and the Motion passed unanimously. Chairwoman Moroney declared the meeting ended at 9:04 p.m.
