Chairman Moroney announced that the board would begin meeting with individual department heads each week to work on policies and procedures. They will be working on job descriptions as well. The work sessions will start next week beginning with Bill Rines, and they will be at the conclusion of the regular Monday night meeting. The public is welcome to stay and listen.
The process of setting up a line of credit with Connecticut River Bank has begun. This will be used to pay for the bridge replacement expenses until the job is complete and state funding is received. The secretary met with Mike Claflin of Connecticut River and the loan will be for six months, a $450,000 line of credit at 3.59%, taking us until December 31, 2008. Mr. Claflin asked for a written procedure that will be followed in order to draw money from the line of credit. After some discussion, the selectmen voted to implement the following.

It was reported that John Sweeney has resigned from the Planning Board, and at their last meeting, the board voted to recommend Donna Foster as a fulltime member of the Planning Board. Chairman Moroney made a motion to appoint Ms. Foster to the Planning Board, Selectman Vecchio seconded, and the motion was passed unanimously. It was mentioned that this creates an opening for an alternate on the board if anyone is interested in serving the town.
The board voted to send flowers to Mac McQueeney and Al Strasser in light of their recent surgeries.
Ron Cote has requested a Pre-Revaluation Meeting with the selectmen and Phil Bodwell of Commerford Nieder Perkins on April 15, at 4 pm. Selectman Vecchio cannot attend, but the other two selectmen said they would try to attend.
The Safety Committee Spreadsheet discussion was tabled until next week when Mr. Rines can attend.
Chairman Moroney discussed recent developments regarding the state education tax and the possibility that donor towns will return again. Letters to four of our state representatives were read (copy attached), approved and signed. They ask for the legislators to come up with a better way to fund education.
Bill Dowling brought two letters for the selectmen to read and sign if they would. To Senators Martha Clark and John Gallus, the letters urge them not to vote for the recently passed House Bill 1429 regarding private landfill operations (copy attached). He said if the bill passes it will affect the Transfer Station budget for 2008 in that tipping and trucking fees will increase. The bill would require a host community agreement be signed by Bethlehem and Casella, and the chances of any agreement between them are slim. This would mean all our trash would have to be trucked to Berlin or Vermont. Mr. Dowling said if the bill passes DES will be out of the picture. The host community will have the power to regulate the landfill operation. Chairman Moroney moved to sign the letters, Selectman Hancock seconded the motion and it was passed unanimously. With regard to the new monitoring well, Mr. Dowling said the installation is currently scheduled for April 17, 2008.
Evan Karpf said he recently received some health brochures that might benefit town residents. Hell put them on the table outside the town office for anyone interested.
John Goodney said there is a meeting for Emergency Operations Planning on Wednesday, April 9th at 6:30 pm. There is a meeting for Hazardous Mitigation Planning on Wednesday, April 16th at 6:30 pm. Both meetings are at the town hall.
At 8:07 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. 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.
