Carroll Board of Selectmen
Meeting Minutes
October 8, 2007
"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 Susan Kraabel, Secretary
Board members present: Bonnie Moroney, Allen Strasser, Rena Vecchio
The meeting was called to order at 7:04 PM.
Members of the public present: Claire Gritzer, John Trammell
Pledge of Allegiance
The board announced the approval of bills and signing of checks.
Chairman Moroney moved to accept the minutes of October 1, 2007, as written. Selectman Vecchio seconded, and the motion passed.
Claire Gritzer came to present the budget request for the library for 2008. The selectmen noted that there was only a 3% increase in salary for the librarian, and they were are proposing 5% for all employees, so this was changed. The overall budget request is approved for $13,618, an increase of $428 from 2007.
The Property Assessing line item was set at $60,000, anticipating we would start the revaluation process again in 2008, having Commerford Nieder Perkins review 25% of the town each year in preparation for a 5 year cycle.
Personnel Administration line items were calculated based on proposed salaries for 2008. Health insurance was estimated with a 10% increase, as we will not know the actual rates for 2008 until October 18. The Budget Committee will be made aware of any changes. The total for these lines was $243,351, an increase of $48,422 over 2007.
The Insurance lines include town insurance and workers’ comp, and these can only be estimated. The total was put at $53,000, down $3, 847 from 2007.
The Contingency line was set at $10,000 after discussion of the $1,000 in 2007 being inadequate to cover emergency items such as the police station problem this year. Hydrant fees were discussed, and also the fact that previous meetings had brought forth opinions both for and against them. The selectmen will discuss putting in a warrant article for money for the water department, but labeling it for its purpose – fire protection and water line expansion.
A line item for Emergency Center ($500) was added to get started on having a shelter in town. Discussion took place about the electrical quote for a generator installation, and there will probably be a warrant article in March to purchase one. The possibility of grant money will be looked at as well.
The Recreation Center budget was reviewed with regard to the proposed Adventure Camp. Lori Hogan had talked about buying a 15 passenger van when she came to the selectmen with her budget request, and since then questions have arisen about the need for a special driver’s license to transport the children. After much discussion the selectmen reduced the request for transportation, and suggested the Rec Committee go to the Budget Committee to justify their original request.
The selectmen went through items that had been reviewed with departments at previous meetings, but not approved because not all the selectmen had been present at the meetings. There was a change made to reduce the fire department telephone line from $2750 to $2000, and some minor changes to the water budget.
The secretary read an email from Jim Sullivan, Cemetery Trustee, asking if he could purchase a gate for the Straw Cemetery as required by law. Selectman Strasser moved to approve the purchase, Chairman Moroney seconded, and the motion was passed unanimously.
John Trammell asked if there was money in the 2007 budget to purchase an alarm system for the police station. They could get a system which could be taken with them upon termination of the lease. The selectmen approved the purchase.
The selectmen signed a letter to Michael Palmer that outlined what he must do to have the roads in River’s Edge II approved.
At 10:30 PM, as there was no additional business, Chairman Moroney declared the meeting ended.
