Pledge of Allegiance
The board announced the approval of bills and signing of checks.
Chairman Moroney made a Motion to: accept the minutes of September 22, 2008, as written. Selectman Hancock seconded and the Motion passed unanimously.
Stan Borkowski’s report was not received.
The following items were approved and signed:
Intent to Cut – Kevin and Robin Lewis, Pike Industries
DRA Form MS-1 – Summary Inventory of Valuation
Monica and Leo Scales returned regarding their driveway/right-of-way issue. They brought pictures taken that day to illustrate their fear that their neighbor, Mr. Lynch, may be planning to install a fence by the trees. Mr. and Mrs. Scales reiterated that the trees are in the 33’ right-of-way. With winter and snow coming they are very concerned about plowing, etc., as they will have trouble using the driveway, emergency vehicles would not be able to get in and they risk losing their homeowners insurance over this. They were advised that Mr. Lynch will have to have an approved Building Permit if he’s going to put up a fence, but their unease remained as they said he has not responded to requests or various letters that have been sent to him. Mr. Scales also reiterated that there should be nothing in the right-of-way, regardless of its owner. Discussion took place and it was decided that Mr. Lynch be requested to attend the Selectmen’s meeting October 6 or October 20. He will also be advised not to do anything about a fence before this. As Evan Karpf looked at the property previously, at the request of the Selectmen, he will also be asked to attend whichever meeting Mr. Lynch can. Chairman Moroney assured the Scales that there will be no fence erected before attendance at the meeting. Chairman Moroney also asked that Town Counsel be called.
It was noted that action items have been put on hold temporarily.
The budget schedule resumed with Sean Doll, new President of the Chamber of Commerce, presenting their proposed budget. Mr. Doll advised this will remain the same as 2008: beautification, $2,000; advertising, $3,000; Information Booth, $10,000; summer music series, $3,000. The question was asked if there had been an increase in business due to the extra money for advertising, to which there was a resounding yes. Jim Covey, former President, said that business was either up or way up this season and they believe it was all due to being able to advertise in areas where they never could before. Discussion turned to the Information Booth and it was stated that this had been a “beacon” for folks as traffic had increased tremendously—travelers were able to find it this year—between the new color and the signs and plantings, they believe it is a huge success. They also reported that the steam engine being donated by the Cog Railroad for display in the vicinity is being worked on now, but they are unsure as to when it will be ready for delivery. Chairman Moroney made a Motion to: Accept the Chamber’s proposed budget of $18,000. Selectman Hancock seconded and it passed unanimously.
As Bill Rines was unable to attend and present his budgets, the Finance and Administration budget was discussed and will be presented formally at the next meeting.
Roberta McGee advised that Ed Martin and Mike Gooden had refinished and refurbished the old gate from Straw Cemetery and have installed it at Rosebrook Cemetery. This is to comply with State law that cemeteries be gated. Chairman Moroney expressed thanks to them.
Chairman Moroney read a letter from Fr. Martel of St. Rose of Lima Church in Littleton, in response to the Selectmen’s letter regarding the new Mass time at St. Patrick. Essentially, he wrote that changes must be made to compensate for the great shortage of priests and they will do what they can to help the parishioners of St. Patrick during this time of transition.
Tom Gately asked if the Old Town Road will still be plowed when the bridge is completed. Chairman Moroney said some research must be done before an answer will be given, as she wants to be sure it is correct. It was stated that it will most likely revert back to the snowmobile trail that it was before it was needed as access for emergency and other heavy-weight vehicles, as well as the detour during construction of the new bridge.
As there was no further business, Chairman Moroney declared the meeting ended at
8:12 p.m. and moved to go into Executive Session for town aid 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 8:55 p.m.
