Pledge of Allegiance

The board announced the approval of bills and signing of checks.

Selectman Strasser asked that his statement on October 15 about an offer from Pat Corso be added to the minutes. Mr. Corso said they would offer their land planning services to assist in laying out the future Town Safety Complex and various units if asked; however, he stressed that they wanted to assist and not run any of the town's projects. They would probably also do the layout/land planning work for the BW fire station property. Chairman Moroney then moved to accept the minutes of October 15, 2007, as corrected. Selectman Vecchio seconded, and the motion passed.

Stan Borkowski’s report is posted on the bulletin board.

The secretary asked if the selectmen would approve the transfer of $215,000 from the Water Savings account to the General Fund account. The water fund currently has a balance of $219,461, and the water department owes the general fund $304,239.79. Selectman Strasser made a motion to approve the transfer, Chairman Moroney seconded, and the motion was passed unanimously.

A letter to the NH Department of Revenue was read, approved, and signed. The letter was a request that the state do the Assessment Review in 2007 rather than 2008.

A loan application from Laconia Savings Bank for a Tax Anticipation Loan was discussed. We are anticipating needing $300,000 in order to pay the county in early December. It was decided to wait on applying until we have a better idea of the amount needed.

The following items were approved and signed.

Water Warrant – Mannarino, Ellis, O’Brien, Myers, Herwerth
Certificate of Occupancy – McPhee, Cellucci
Thank you letter to Pat Martin
MS-1 Extension request to November 8. Final values are not quite ready.

The report from Provan & Lorber on his inspection of the Seymourian waterline and bridge on Ariana Lane was read by Chairman Moroney. (copy attached) Selectman Strasser moved to send a copy to Mr. Seymourian and ask him to submit new plans to the Planning Board. Selectman Vecchio suggested that all work in this project be stopped until the Planning Board is consulted.

Mr. Borkowski is still discussing the Chamberlain property with Atty. Tanguay.
The selectmen now have copies of local ordinances, and will review.
Jeff Duncan will talk to June Garneau on Wednesday regarding the LUCA program.
Bill Rines will discuss radios with Chief Duncan on Tuesday.

Leslie Bergum said that last week she had told the board about a Dredge & Fill Wetlands application from Bretton Woods to NH DES on October 10th. On October 19 the Conservation Commission received notice from DES that the application had been found to be administratively incomplete. She also addressed concerns of the Conservation Commission about the November 7 meeting of the Planning Board where they will review the site plan review application for the Dartmouth Brook subdivision. It was noted that Chairman Birknes and Connie Oliver will both have to recuse themselves, and several people are out of town, so they may not be able to get a quorum for the meeting. Ms. Bergum, on behalf of the Conservation Committee, which serves as advisor to the Planning Board, said she strongly recommends that a date is looked at where appropriate members of the Planning Board would be present seeing as it a sizable, most significant proposal presenting the largest subdivision ever put forward in the Town of Carroll. Selectman Strasser suggested they could open the meeting and continue it to another time, but even that may not be possible because of quorum problems. The secretary will talk to John Birknes and Atty. Waugh.

Chairman Moroney asked Mr. Rines about water meter work, and was told he would be scheduling Mr. Daine next week.

Chairman Moroney told the group that Gay Jordan had had surgery on her hip, and will spend 5 weeks in rehab—there is an address on the bulletin board for anyone who wants to send a card.

At 8:45 PM, as there was no additional business, Chairman Moroney declared the meeting ended, and moved to go into executive session regarding personnel, legal matters. This was seconded by Selectman Vecchio. The board was polled, and initially Selectman Strasser objected. He then agreed, and they 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 Vecchio seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
