Pledge of Allegiance
The board announced the approval of bills and signing of checks.
Chairman Moroney moved to accept the minutes of the July 16, 2007 meeting as written. Selectman Strasser seconded and the motion was passed unanimously.
Stan Borkowski’s report is posted on the bulletin board.
Chairman Moroney reported that she’d gone through the Carroll Economic Development Corporations bylaws from March 10, 1998, and had some questions as a result. The selectmen would like to meet with someone from the CEDC.
What is the cost to become a member?
When was the last meeting held?
Results of the voting each year?
Who are the board members, when were they elected, when are their 3 yr. terms up?
Who are the officers?
Bernie Waugh has been contacted about the CEDC, and various documents were sent to him, but we’ve had no answers yet. Both Jay Ouellette and Steve Messina have told the secretary that they have been filing annual reports to the proper authorities.
Selectman Strasser said there will be a Habitat for Humanity meeting soon, and we need to find some place in town for low income housing. He said the resort is not against it, and there may be some place in Bretton Woods as well as Twin Mountain. Roberta McGee said we almost had some on Rte. 3 and it was voted down. Selectman Strasser said we need seed money to start something. Doug Bews said AHEAD is looking at his property and others in town.
Chairman Moroney read a proposed letter to John D’Urso that had been written by Mr. Borkowski. In it he suggested that Mr. D’Urso apply for a building permit for his second older mobile home, and thus clear up the questions about the intended use for this structure. Chairman Moroney made a motion to have Stan send the letter, Selectman Strasser seconded the motion and it was passed unanimously. It was suggested the permitting be done within 30 days.
In discussion of action items from previous meetings, it was reported that every employee was either working on the three NIMS courses or had completed them already. Both selectmen present at the meeting stated they’d completed the classes on line, but had not yet printed their certificates.
Chairman Moroney reported the building committee will be meeting on Wednesday, July 25, and will discuss the response to the offer of land for a fire station in Bretton Woods. Selectman Strasser said Matt Dieterich had volunteered to come to any of these meetings.
Art Savona was told we’d accepted his quote for new shutters, and he’d have a brochure with style to choose from. It was suggested that he take the Town of Carroll letters down while he’s up there, and we could then have new ones made.
A representative from REMAX Realty stopped by the town hall, and told the secretary his office had been hired to clean up the property on Paquette Circle and sell it. They will be cleaning up the debris and closing up the house so that vandals and animals can no longer walk in. We do have a contact name and phone number.
Someone in Bernie Waugh’s office is working on the Chamberlain property trailer issue.
Selectman Strasser made a motion to purchase the townofcarroll.org and, if only 10 or 20 dollars more, the townofcarroll.net domain names. Chairman Moroney seconded, and the motion was passed unanimously.
Billy Rines reported he’d gotten 3 quotes for paving Harmony Hill, Fieldstone Lane and the fire station area. Central Paving was several thousand dollars higher than the other two, and while Blaktop Inc. was slightly lower, their quote was for an l ˝” base rather than the 2” base that GMI Asphalt Corp. quoted. Our budget has a total of $55,000 for hot top and resurfacing, and that is just $1,000 short of the quoted prices. Selectman Strasser moved to accept the quote from GMI, Chairman Moroney seconded, and the motion was passed unanimously. Chairman Moroney asked Mr. Rines about when the paving in front of one of the town hall windows would be done. He replied they would dig that out themselves and repave to stop the flow of water into the basement.
The following items were approved and signed.
Water Warrant – Naturally New Hampshire
PA-28 – After speaking to town counsel, we will not be sending this property inventory form to all property owners.
Mr. Bews presented a new brochure from the Mt. Washington Resort. It details a program set up by the for-profit resort in conjunction with the non-profit AMC, and Mr. Bews pointed out that some of these activities are not available to the public. It was suggested the brochure be sent to Town Counsel. He also brought up the fact that local school children need to have fundraisers in order to pay for the rather expensive sessions at the AMC. At the planning stage of the Highland Center, an AMC official said the AMC was known for bringing thousands of dollars into the community, a promise made and not kept.
Chairman Moroney asked if we had received anything from Hoyle & Tanner. The state has approved the bridge specs, and they must be approved by the town. There’s one more thing to be done before bonding information is possible for Town Meeting.
Mr. Rines and Selectman Strasser had a discussion about maintenance on town roads. Mr. Rines had spoken to GMI about grinding surface material, replacing subsurface and then re-applying the recycled surface material. Selectman Strasser felt this would be too expensive, and recommended he ask about oiling to stop deterioration of roads. Mr. Rines said this won’t solve the base problems. Both agreed that we need to be concerned about ditching, drainage, and culverts.
Ms. McGee asked if Mr. Rines could trim some of the bushes at the corner by UPS that block the view for vehicles. He said they could do that.
Ms. McGee also said she and Pat Martin have been trimming in the cemetery, and have asked David Warren to speak to Derek Patterson, director of the Recreation Program, about having some of the older kids help. They have a Youth Leadership Program for the older group, and the selectmen agreed that the cemetery trustees could have help from the rec program.
At 7:55 PM, as there was no additional business, Chairman Moroney declared the meeting ended, and moved to go into executive session regarding personnel matters. This was seconded by Selectman Strasser. The board was polled, and went into executive session.
At the close of executive session, Chairman Moroney made a motion to return to public session and seal the minutes from executive session; Selectman Strasser seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
