Pledge of Allegiance
The Chair announced the approval and signing of the manifests.
Selectman Scalley made a motion to approve the minutes of 4/27/2020. Selectman Moroney seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Imre Szauter spoke on behalf of the Building Committee. He stated Tucker Library Interiors had been in and installed the new shelving for the Library. Szauter said part of the collection had been shelved by himself, Bill Emerson and Bonnie Moroney. They need guidance from the Librarian as how to place the rest of the collection. The Library Trustees will handle how that will happen. He also stated that outside work continues on the project preparing for pavement and sidewalks.
The Board reviewed a hazard mitigation planning contract provided by Mapping and Planning Solutions. Selectman Moroney made a motion to approve and sign. Selectman Scalley seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
The Board reviewed a Yield Tax for Whitcomb. Chairman Gauthier made a motion to approve and sign. Selectman Moroney seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
The Board reviewed a Tax Abatement for Reddin. Selectman Moroney made a motion to approve and sign. Selectman Scalley seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Next, the Board reviewed an email requesting that recycling restrictions be eased at the Transfer Station. The Secretary said she spoke with the department head that day and Greg was already looking into the matter. He wanted to make sure the employees at the Transfer Station were comfortable with doing so. The Secretary said she had already spoken with several people that were upset with not recycling and they are storing their materials until everything is re-open completely. The Board agreed the matter could be left up to Greg Hogan. They stressed that he should advise if/when the employees need PPE and to encourage people to keep a safe distance.
The Board reviewed a request from the Historical Society (attached.) They are requesting consideration of the Historical Society occupying the Fire Station as a museum when the building becomes available. Jeremy Oleson said he doesn’t feel he is properly represented in the letter. He said he sounds like he’s backed the project when he merely provided some drawings that were going to be disposed of that had building measurements. He believes the decision belongs to the voters. Tadd Bailey said it was presented to the taxpayers that the building would be sold and the revenue from the sale would reduce the construction loan amount. Selectman Scalley agreed. Selectman Gauthier stated he would rather the building be sold to collect the revenue and future tax revenue. Selectman Moroney said she sees both sides of the issue. She’d love to see a nice museum in place there but agrees the taxpayers were told the building sale would offset taxes. Discussion continued on the benefits of having something cultural in place versus the benefit of revenue. It was also mentioned about the repairs needed to the building as the roof leaks and the block walls have deteriorated. Imre Szauter suggested that the Historical Society provide a business plan to bring to the Board. They should address their finances, paying for repairs to the building and other items such as when the museum would be run and staffed. The Board agreed and the Historical Society will be advised.

Fire Station Deed Restrictions – The prior discussion led into deed restrictions that had been mentioned at previous meetings. Chairman Gauthier said he’d like to leave the item on the agenda and follow up at a later date.
