Imre Szauter asked the Board if they were planning on holding their regularly scheduled meeting on Monday, March 9th. He said he was asking because it would determine when the room could be set up for elections on the 10th. Fire Chief Oleson said the Select Board could hold their meeting at the Fire Station. The Board agreed that would work.

Szauter also advised that Heidi Lawton from NH Dept. of Homeland Security had met with himself, EMD Director Gardiner and Asst. Director Trammell to discuss the $125,000 grant for the E.O.C. Heidi did a walk-thru on the job site and asked if the generators were in place, which they are. She advised that the Town won’t qualify for the grant because the generators were installed before the grant paperwork was approved. She said she has not seen any paperwork that was previously submitted. Szauter said in speaking with Lawton, the Town can still put in for furniture, file cabinets, etc. going into the E.O.C. and EMD office. Szauter said a follow up needs to be conducted with Allan Clark to see if he submitted paperwork to someone that Heidi wasn’t aware of.
