Pledge of Allegiance
The board announced the approval of bills and signing of checks.
Chairman Moroney moved to accept the minutes of March 10, 2008, as written. Selectman Vecchio seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
The report from Stan Borkowski is posted on the bulletin board.
Martha Woolhouse presented paperwork for the refinancing of the USDA Rural Water Expansion note taken out in 1994. The principal of the new note is $530,100 and the interest rate is 3.59% for 15 years. With a twice yearly payment of $22,905, there will be a savings in excess of $69,000 to the taxpayers. The selectmen, having previously approved the refinancing of the loan, signed both the application and actual note presented by Ms. Woolhouse, Branch Manager of the Connecticut River Bank in Bethlehem.
The secretary reported that she had spoken to Laurie Bresnahan of Provan & Lorber about the monitoring well that needs to be installed on Curtis & Beckie Pike’s property that abuts the old town landfill. Ms. Bresnahan said she’s ready to send the Pikes an access agreement and would like the selectmen to let the Pikes know it’s coming. Bill Dowling agreed to speak to the Pikes instead of one of the selectmen, and would do it on Tuesday. He said this well would not downgrade the Pike’s property. Mr. Dowling also reported that January 30th the state changed the VOC requirements, and although they will take effect in January of 2009, this may affect the town sooner if the April 2008 testing is bad. It could mean an additional $5,000 for lab testing of the water samples, and we’ll have to find the money somewhere in the budget.
Evan Karpf reported that the Highway Safety funds cannot be used for a roadside cleanup day, but there is money available for bicycle helmets and perhaps the Recreation Committee could apply for these funds. Lori Hogan will be notified. Dr. Karpf also said he was going to contact Stacey Boone at the Mt. Washington Hotel to see if they can coordinate a cleanup day. He may also contact the Conservation Commission and Chamber of Commerce for help.
Chairman Moroney moved to sign the Notice of Award and Agreement for the bridge replacement contracts with Bayview Construction Corp. Selectman Vecchio seconded the motion and it was passed unanimously. The selectmen also signed the Hoyle Tanner contract that had previously been approved. Discussion took place about where the town might borrow funds for a short time to cover the construction costs until state reimbursement comes through. We will contact Martha Woolhouse, and also check with Sue Collins of Coos County to see if she has suggestions for a bank source.
Tax Abatements were approved for Gunn, Johnson, Crapo, Giovanni, McGee, Kraabel, and Rines. Abatement denials were approved for Johnson and Angelucci.
A Veteran’s Tax Credit application for Maurice Anderson was reviewed and denied. Mr. Anderson is no longer a resident of the Town of Carroll.
A recently signed contract with Commerford Nieder Perkins required signatures on two pages, and one of the pages had been overlooked. The selectmen corrected this error.
A Certificate of Occupancy for Lemay at 40 Poplar Lane was approved and signed.
Selectman Vecchio said she would like to review the Water Quality report from 2007 and asked to have it discussed next week.
It was reported that Roberta Daly now owns the property on Brook Road that is housing two trailers that were supposed to be there on a temporary basis. It was suggested that Town Counsel be contacted to see about steps to have the trailers removed.
It was suggested that the selectmen meet with department heads once a month to get the Policies and Procedures manual in place.
Chairman Moroney asked the secretary to contact Al Strasser and ask him to email his approval of the minutes from the February 11 meeting. She could then add her approval.
Harold Garneau said he and Matt Low of Hoyle Tanner met with state Culture Resources personnel about relocating the existing town bridge. He said the state realized we are lacking documentation on the historical nature of the bridge. Mr. Garneau is working to get approval to replace cross beams on the old bridge and also to park it on state property for the year it will take to ready the bridge for permanent placement on Little River.
Tom Gately said the Budget Committee is meeting on Wednesday at 7 pm. They are looking for two new members, as Karen Moran has resigned, and Ben Jellison can no longer serve, as he is an elected official (moderator).
Edith Tucker asked the selectmen if they had any comments on why so many things had passed at the March 11 election. Chairman Moroney said she thought people were more aware of why we were asking for money – that there was a lot more information given out this year. The comment was also made that the Budget Committee had done a good job with their presentation of the proposed budget. Chairman Moroney made a motion to send a letter of thanks to Karen Moran and Ben Jellison for their work on the Budget Committee.
At 8:13 PM, as there was no additional business, Chairman Moroney declared the meeting ended, and moved to go into executive session regarding legal 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.
