Pledge of Allegiance

The board announced the approval of bills and signing of checks.

Chairman Moroney made a Motion to: accept the minutes of June 30, 2008, as written. Selectman Hancock seconded, and the Motion passed unanimously.

Stan Borkowski’s report was not received.

The second invoice for the new bridge in the amount of $37,495.80 from Bayview Construction Corp. was received. Chairman Moroney made a Motion to: approve it for payment. Selectman Hancock seconded and it passed unanimously.

The Police Department Monthly Activity Report was received and it was confirmed that it is posted. Chief Trammell also noted that the radio is out of order again and won’t work with Project 54. Trying to repair it is very difficult because of its age, plus it is simply too old to be compatible with the newer computers that are now in the cars. They are looking for a grant to try to get a new one.

The report further told that the old air conditioner is working but has developed a water problem. Chairman Moroney noted that she had been in the police station during this spate of hot, humid weather. After discussion Chairman Moroney made a Motion to: take money from the office furniture budget to buy an air conditioner for the police building. Selectman Hancock seconded and it passed unanimously.

Chairman Moroney asked about progress regarding the Daly property and was advised that her letter had been faxed to Town Counsel. It is expected that we will hear back by mid to late week.

The Treasurer will be asked if there would be an advantage to transferring the fire/emergency and landfill savings accounts to PDIP accounts.

The Secretary advised that we should be in receipt of an updated Trail Crossing Agreement by the end of this week.

The Highway Department has been quite immersed in working at the Recreation Area for some time. However, they will soon be getting to other projects in town, including the decking at the Town Hall. Billy Rines advised that representatives from Northeast Glass had been here two weeks ago to look at replacing the old front door of the Town Hall.
Their estimate is due this week as they were closed last week for vacation.

Chairman Moroney will return a phone call regarding property liability insurance in an attempt to get some comparison costs. The gentleman whose call she is returning, has been a visitor here for many years (and in fact has purchased land here) and he knows we are interested in getting information from different companies.

Chairman Moroney advised that the Town now has a completed and signed agreement for the land donation from Bretton Woods Development Company. This is now ready to go on the Warrant in March for Town approval.

Evan Karpf came before the Board to request that an ad be placed in the newspapers for people to join the Master Plan Committee. He said that he and his wife, Joan, have been working on it and Mrs. Karpf has put in many hours. While they are happy to do this, it has to be a community effort and before more work is done on it there should be many more people on the Committee. Leslie Bergum asked if this is the responsibility of the Planning Board. Dr. Karpf said the Planning Board has the authority to ask for help from the community at large. Chairman Moroney asked Dr. Karpf to come to the office with the details for the ad.

Chairman Moroney announced that Jeremy Oleson has been hired for the second fulltime firefighter position approved by the town in March. Mr. Oleson has been a volunteer with the Department for several years, which made for a smooth transition. He has been on the job since June 29, and things are going along very well.

Chairman Moroney also noted that the renovations to the fire station are progressing nicely and at this point, they are awaiting the electrician. They are hoping to have an Open House sometime in August.

The Selectmen also advised that all of the old tables in the Town Hall have been replaced. The Snowmobile Club, the Chamber of Commerce and the Town Moderator’s budget each contributed to this replacement project. Chairman Moroney made a Motion to: set up a new policy or add to the policy for using the Town Hall, that if anyone wishes to borrow tables, we get a deposit of $100. When the tables are returned and are not damaged, the deposit will be returned. Selectman Hancock seconded, and the Motion passed unanimously.

As there was no further business, Chairman Moroney declared the meeting ended at
7:20 p.m. and moved to go into Executive Session for town aid and personnel 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 9:15 p.m.
