Smalley
Pledge of Allegiance
The board announced the approval of bills and signing of checks.
Chairman Moroney made a Motion to: accept the minutes of November 3, 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:
Revised MS-1 Form – Chairman Moroney explained when this was originally completed, she
had requested that the value of the AMC property be omitted. However, we found out
later from Town Counsel in order to continue with our lawsuit, the AMC must be sent
a tax bill, thus the value had to be included on the form.
Letter for release of Seymourian Bond -- A bond had been held pending the problems with
the water line and bridge/culvert on Arianna Lane be addressed and corrected by the
Developer. The work has been inspected and approved.
Water Warrant -- 2nd Billing, 2008
Water Warrant -- Munroe, Strickland, Wright, Picconi
Water Abatement -- Staples
Bill Dowling spoke to the Board about including another Warrant Article for the Transfer Station. When the landfill on Trudeau Road closes, Carroll will have to take care of its own trash and will therefore, need more space to get a tractor trailer in and out. Mr. Dowling wants to begin to prepare for the future by having the land surveyed for this purpose. When asked, Mr. Dowling said the truck will be moved every month to six weeks. Chairman Moroney made a Motion that: the Select Board should approve the inclusion of the Warrant Article. Selectman Hancock seconded and the Motion passed unanimously.
Mr. Dowling noted that the price of recycled items has gone way down. He has gotten a price of $30 a ton for paper, which he is going with. This compares to over $100 a ton when he sold paper about six weeks ago.
Bill Rines said the new heater is installed in the Pump House and already a difference has been seen. He also said that one of the pumps in the Well House is getting bad; that in the middle of the night, every night, the alarm signals that it has failed -- but it’s actually because it is starting hard, and finally does run. He said they will be pulling it and getting prices, but is estimating to replace it will be $6,000 to $7,000. Rebuilt pumps could be looked at, but because of the many parts that cannot be seen which could result in greater cost being incurred, a new one is recommended. There is a back up pump which he is hoping to trade for a replacement, as it is too big and draws air into town water, which is not good.
Mr. Rines noted that the signposts are in the ground at the new bridge.
Jeff Duncan announced that Flu shots will be given at the Fire Station beginning at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, November 18, to town employees at no cost because he has received a grant. Also available will be Tetanus and Hepatitis B inoculations. Chairman Moroney asked that all employees be made aware of this.
Bill Smalley came in to ask about Building Permits. It was his understanding that any work which was less than a 25% change of value and did not change the footprint did not require a permit. He is replacing a porch which he said fit into this category, but has been subsequently requested to apply for a permit. A brief discussion took place that the Town had adopted the State code and accordingly calls for permits for all but a very limited list of items. Mr. Smalley said he would call the Building Inspector for his opinion.
A brief discussion of oil prices took place. The Board requested that prices continue to be checked for next week’s meeting.
The Secretary reported that upon checking, both Connecticut River Bank and Laconia Savings Bank offer direct deposit, as had been requested by Mr. Duncan at the previous meeting. The Board suggested talking with the Treasurer about coordinating time for someone to come and talk with them if changing banks continues to be a possibility, and discuss both subjects together.
With regard to the issues of speed and eliminating a passing zone on Route 302 East from Cherry Mountain Campground to the stone church, NH DOT office was contacted. It was suggested that the Selectmen write a letter with the statistics Chief Trammell as discovered from observation, as well as including that all businesses in that location also concur. After a brief discussion, Chairman Moroney suggested that Mr. Vancoppenolle be called to write a letter that he could have all the business owners sign and bring to the Office to be included with the letter from the Selectmen. It was felt that this might have more impact. Mr. Smalley cautioned against
getting their hopes up, as the State rarely finds in favor of such requests.
Mr. Rines spoke of the new bridge -- that all seems to be in order except for installing a stop sign on the Route 302 end. He is checking with the State for their advice, as it appears the only space might be in the State right-of-way.
Chairman Moroney reminded everyone of the dedication on Saturday, November 15, at 10 a.m. She also requested that Nancy Mayville be contacted regarding the State inspection as we are getting close to the end of the year and will need our reimbursement money.
As there was no further business, Chairman Moroney declared the meeting ended at
8:00 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.
