Chairman Moroney moved to: accept the minutes of June 9, 2008, as written. Selectman Hancock seconded and the motion passed unanimously.

Stan Borkowski’s report was not received.

Chairman Moroney asked about the house on Birch Road that is having an addition put on. A number of residents have inquired about it, and it has been confirmed that there is an approved Building Permit. Stan requested that the contractor remeasure the setbacks and which measurements the Office is waiting for currently.

Linda Dowling spoke about the proper way to construct a Warrant Article. She contacted the DRA and received current information on it which she briefly summarized. She offered to categorize the Town’s existing Warrant Articles which she said she would have completed by next year’s Town Meeting. The Selectmen agreed this would be a good job to get done and accepted her offer with thanks.

Bill Dowling, Transfer Station Manager, reviewed the bids for the brush cutting at the old landfill area. He recommended to the Selectmen that Hoffman Home Services be awarded the bid as theirs was the lowest. Chairman Moroney made a motion to accept Mr. Dowling’s recommendation. Selectman Hancock seconded and the motion passed unanimously. Mr. Dowling will make the notifications.
Mr. Dowling advised the Board that he had received the check for $2,500 for the used oil grant and that this will be deposited to the General Fund. Chairman Moroney then asked Mr. Dowling about the website for the Transfer Station. He advised this was newly started and is paid for out of his budget. The main reason for it is to educate the people about recycling and the Transfer Station and it will be updated frequently with new information.

Brooks Bartlett, representing Food and Beverage Operations at Mount Washington Resort Development, came to seek permission from the Board of Selectmen to extend their license for the sale of alcohol. This would cover a “Beer Tent” located in the Base Lodge area for one day only, July 5, 2008, during the Independence Day celebration. Mr. Bartlett brought a plan of the area showing the location under discussion, and advised they have been in contact with Jeff Duncan regarding an Assembly Permit. Mr. Bartlett brought a statement for the Selectmen to sign which will be submitted with their request to the State. Chairman Moroney read the statement aloud and then made a motion that the Selectmen sign it. Selectman Hancock seconded and it passed unanimously.

Donald Monahan submitted a Town Hall Use Permit for their annual family gathering on Saturday, July 26. The Selectmen are planning to approve the request, but want Mr. Monahan to know ahead, that if the weather is inclement, they will have to depart the hall by 6 p.m. as there is a standing reservation for Saturdays during the summer for the Chamber’s Music Series

The following items were approved and signed:

Town Hall Use Permit Application – Leslie Bergum, Ammonoosuc River Local Advisory
Committee
Rec Committee
Water Abatement – Hoffman, Dion

The Board was advised that the Treasurer transferred $95,000 from the Water Fund to the General Fund and $25,424.20 from the Planning Board savings account to the General Fund, to cover their 2007 expenses.

A request to use the ball field at the Rec Area has been received from the Mount Washington Hotel for Friday, July 18. They have a large family reunion group who would like to have a softball game as one of their activities. At this point, they are planning on sending box lunches with the family and using the field from 11 a.m. to about 3 p.m. The Rec Committee has been asked about their schedule. When we hear back, we will notify the Hotel if it will be available.

Action Items:

Regarding the ongoing issue with the Chamberlain/Daly property, Roberta Daly telephoned Stan Borkowski and told him she was sending a letter to the Town, but did not elaborate as to its contents.
Property/Liability Insurance options – We will attempt to complete the Primex form for comparisons.

Roberta McGee spoke about the roads at the Straw Cemetery and that the Committee is in hopes of putting in a new one. She wondered if this is something the Town Crew can do or if they should hire from outside. Selectman Hancock said he believes it is something the Town Crew can do, but he said it would depend on their schedule. Chairman Moroney suggested checking with the Road Agent. Mrs. McGee said Ed Martin, Chairman of the Committee, will be asking to be on the agenda to discuss this. It was confirmed that he has requested being put on for the June 30th meeting. It was also noted that the Cemetery Committee takes care of the town cemeteries only and does not have jurisdiction over St. Margaret’s Cemetery.

Mrs. McGee and others have pointed out at the intersection of Ledoux Road and Parker Road, there is brush or bamboo that has grown up and blocks visibility for drivers. She asked if this could be cut or mowed. Ownership of the property will be confirmed and if it is owned by the Selensky family, as is believed, we will contact them to ask if they will clear it or give the town permission to take care of it. It will be just the bamboo that is cleared and not the tree that is also in the vicinity.

As there was no further business, Chairman Moroney declared the meeting ended at
7:35 p.m. and moved to go into Executive Session for legal matters. 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.

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 8:25 p.m.
