Pledge of Allegiance
Chairman Moroney asked for a moment of silence for the sudden passing of Ted Gilbert, a long time resident.
The board announced the approval of bills and signing of checks.
Chairman Moroney moved to accept the minutes of March 3, 2008, as written. Selectman Vecchio seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
The report from Stan Borkowski has not yet been received.
William Rose from North Country Council came before the board to answer any questions regarding the letter written by NCC to the Planning Board. The letter addressed the regional impact of the proposed Dartmouth Brook subdivision, but also brought up issues raised by the Economic Impact Study done for the Mt. Washington Resort by Ross Gittell of UNH. NCC is a regional planner for all of Coos County, most of Grafton, and some of Carroll County. When the Planning Board determined that the subdivision would have a regional impact, NCC was notified, and thus has the same status as an abutter. Mr. Rose explained this when asked why they had sent the letter to the Planning Board. Pat Corso said they took issue with the NCC statement that the expected rise in property values in Bretton Woods would also cause a rise in values in Twin Mountain, thereby resulting in higher property taxes for residents not affiliated with the resort. He said Mr. Gittell specifically spoke of this issue, and said depending on decisions made by the town, property taxes could very well go down with the new development. Erik Bergum asked if the purpose of the NCC letter was to address the Dartmouth Brook subdivision or the Economic Impact Study, and Mr. Rose said it was the subdivision. Mr. Bergum questioned the progression of numbers in Mr. Gitell’s study, and was advised to email Mr. Gitell with his questions.
The secretary explained that Bill Smalley had visited the town hall to look at the space for a storage cabinet for the library. When he realized that a long cabinet would block the heat vent in the hallway, he suggested the Library Trustees look at purchasing smaller stackable cupboards from Lowe’s or Home Depot. These could go up against the stairs to the second floor, and would be much less expensive than anything he could build. Chairman Moroney suggested the secretary pass this information on to the trustees.
Dr. Karpf reported he has not yet received enough information to determine if we could get grant money through the Highway Safety Department for a roadside clean up day.
Chairman Moroney read a letter from North Country Council asking the town to appoint two people to be on the No. Country Transportation Advisory Committee. These people would represent the interests and needs of the Town of Carroll regarding transportation planning. Billy Rines and Chairman Moroney volunteered to participate.
Discussion regarding a grant and location of a new Emergency Management radio brought out the fact that it was to be placed in the designated Emergency Operations Center, which in Carroll is the fire station. Jeff Duncan said that as Emergency Management Director, John Goodney is not authorized to use this radio. However, Mr. Goodney agreed that the radio will go to the fire station wherever Chief Duncan can position it.
Chairman Moroney stated that it’s been a long time since anyone knew who all had keys to the town hall. She suggested we have the master locks changed and issue new keys to those who need them, and make a list of those people. Anyone who needs a key for an event would have to sign in/out for a key. It was also suggested we give people some warning that the locks would be changing. Chairman Moroney moved to change the locks, Selectman Vecchio seconded, and the motion was passed unanimously.
The secretary presented new signature cards for the Connecticut River Bank accounts. Chairman Moroney and Selectman Vecchio signed them, and Chris Hancock will after the election on Tuesday. We need to set up a sweep account for the general fund at the bank. Their policy is to sweep funds in excess of $75,000 at the end of each day, and we have a choice of Sweep Accounts. Neither is FDIC insured, but they go into various prime, government, treasury and municipal money market funds. The provider is BlackRock Liquidity Management. The TempFund (inception 1973) consists of commercial paper rated A1/P1 or higher, Certificates of Deposit, US Governments, fully collateralized repurchase agreements, and demand notes rated A1/P1 or higher. The T-Fund (inception 1980) consists of US Treasury bills, notes, obligations, and fully collateralized repurchase agreements. Recent 1 day yield for the Temp Fund was 3.59% and the T-Fund was 2.49%. After some discussion including the fact that we could switch funds at a later date, Chairman Moroney moved to use the Temp Fund for the Sweep Account. Selectman Vecchio seconded the motion, and it was passed unanimously. Chairman Moroney signed the Sweep Agreement.
The selectmen approved and signed the following.
Tax abatement for interest – Adams
Certificate of Occupancy – Hart
At 7:46 PM, as there was no additional business, Chairman Moroney declared the meeting ended, and moved to go into executive session regarding legal matters, town aid, and personnel matters. This was seconded by Selectman Vecchio. 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 Vecchio seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
