They are being made available at this time to conform to the requirements of New Hampshire RSA 91-A:2."
Minutes recorded by Maryclare Quigley, Secretary
Board members present: Bonnie Moroney, Christopher Hancock
The meeting was called to order at 7:00 PM.
Members of the public present: Roberta McGee, Carmine Fabrizio, John Goodney, Tom Gately, Lisa Covey, Jim Covey, Leslie Bergum, John Trammell
Pledge of Allegiance
The board announced the approval of bills and signing of checks.
Chairman Moroney moved to: accept the minutes of May 5, 2008, as written. Selectman Hancock seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Stan Borkowski�s report has been posted on the bulletin board.
Chairman Moroney announced that the agreement for the Bretton Woods land donation as written up by Bernie Waugh is now with their legal representatives. She will contact Mr. Brunetti to inquire about discussing this at next week�s meeting.
The following items were approved and signed:
Letter to NHDES Re: Upper Reach Ammonoosuc River
Intent to Cut � Manny Cardoza, New Page Corp.
Yield Tax Certificate � Stalaboin
Yield Tax Warrant � Stalaboin
Water Warrant � M. Saffian , Pleasant North, LLC, Stapleton Properties, Inc.
Water Abatement � M. Saffian
Liability insurance and medical insurance discussions were tabled until a future date. There is a lot of information that has just recently been received and the Board needs time to look it over.
Chairman Moroney said that John Jalbert from Wild Wood Products, across the street, had donated a handmade picnic table for the Town Hall -- needless to say, it is greatly appreciated. Chairman Moroney made a Motion to: sign a thank you card, Selectman Hancock seconded, and it passed unanimously. She suggested the office staff might wish to sign it also.
Roberta McGee told the Board that Joan Karpf had been looking on-line for information regarding cemeteries and discovered there�s very little about those in the Town of Carroll. Mrs. McGee said they had received permission from Father George to work on the Catholic cemetery (St. Margaret�s) and at this time, requested permission from the Board for Mrs. Karpf to help gather data and put it on-line. This will be helpful to a number of people, including those working on their genealogy. The Board thought this was a good idea, and agreed it would be fine.
John Goodney brought in the final draft of the Emergency Operation Plan on which he had made all the annual updates. He had spoken with Jeff Duncan and Bill Rines, both of whom have signed it but there are several signatures which he still needs to get. Chairman Moroney made a motion to: sign it. Selectman Hancock seconded and it passed unanimously. This will be kept in the office and copies will be sent to the State as well as the Federal Government. Chairman Moroney thanked Mr. Goodney for all his hard work, stating that it was greatly appreciated.
Jim Covey told about a service project the Chamber was doing about changing the light bulbs in the gym to something that would be low energy but high efficiency and that would be brighter. PSNH is coming Tuesday to do an audit of the whole building, not just the gym and Mr. Covey will accompany them during the process.
Mr. Covey also wanted to address the painting of the Information Booth. He reminded everyone that he had been discussing it, using color chips, for quite sometime. Marketing and publicity professionals have advised that if the color of these buildings is too unobtrusive they will not be seen. (He gave examples of buildings in other towns, on which the color has been changed). This has proven to be the case here--many people have been unable to find it. It is believed that when the project is complete with signage, plantings and flowers, it will it help to temper it. Mr. Covey said the goal is to get people to stop and thus to show or �sell� the area -- so they will stay here, not just drive through. He would be happy to have people contact him directly if they wish.
Mr. Covey was asked if the Chamber Music Series will be held again this year and he said they will. He added they still need two more groups, and if anyone has a favorite one, to please let him know.
John Goodney reported that regarding FEMA compliance, he believes NIMS will be doing an analysis on the town as far as what we have and don�t have. From this, they will tell us what we need.
Chairman Moroney reminded everyone about the benefit for Eleanor Mason on Saturday, May 17. The doors will open at 6 p.m.
Evan Karpf reminded everyone about Carroll clean up day on Sunday, May 18. He has posters up and is hoping to get some RSVP�s because there will be light breakfast food and lunch and they are hoping to have an idea of how much food to plan on. Lunch and a softball game will be at the recreation area. Dr. Karpf suggested if anyone has softball equipment, to bring it! Dr. Karpf also mentioned that he received a grant for $400 and he had purchased reflective vests which will be kept at the Transfer Station. The Chamber had also given him money which he used to purchase pick-up sticks with and these, too, will be kept at the Transfer Station.
Chairman Moroney noted that the Memorial Day Parade is coming together. This year, it is on Monday, May 26, at 11 a.m. She noted if there are any organizations which would like to participate, they would be more than welcome.
Billy Rines advised that he had received a few more job descriptions as well as some information from Scott Hayes about water. Chairman Moroney had received some from LGC for Road Agent and some for Water Agent which will be printed and given to Mr. Rines. She asked him to look them over for keeping as they are or making changes as he sees fit--but to consider them for use if there is ever a position.
At 7:30 p.m., as there was no additional business, Chairman Moroney declared the meeting ended, and moved to go into executive session regarding town aid. 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 Hancock seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
The Board then had a conversation about Bob Morency, (who had planned to attend this meeting but had to cancel), and water meters. He suggested the possibility of setting up an afternoon work session. The Board asked the secretary to contact Mr. Morency to find out the details for such a meeting.
There being no further discussion, Chairman Moroney made a motion to: adjourn the meeting. Selectman Hancock seconded, and the motion passed unanimously. Chairman Moroney declared the meeting ended at 9:10 p.m.
