The board announced the approval of bills and signing of checks.
Chairman Hancock made a Motion to: Accept the minutes for March 23, 2009 as written. Selectman Moroney seconded and the Motion was passed unanimously.
Stan Borkowski’s report was not received.
The following items were approved and signed:
Bank Signature Cards – New Selectman was added.
Town Hall Use Permit Application – Recreation Committee, Monahan
Current Use – Mills/Pothier
Form signed by Select Members Hancock and Moroney, Selectman Mills abstained
Veterans’ Exemption – Bussiere
Intent to Cut – Anthony Pike
Water Warrant – Wright
MS-2 – Actual Appropriations – to be sent to DRA
Supplemental Intents to Excavate – Rines
It was explained that Billy Rines did not realize that he needed to send a separate form for
each report. These two are for DRA for the tax billing for the material excavated in excess of the original request. A brief discussion took place.
Three percent raises had been in the proposed budget, but as a result of the budget being cut at the Deliberative Session and subsequently approved by the voters on March 10, they had been put aside. Chairman Hancock read a statement of thanks to the town employees for helping to reduce the budget. He also explained that the Board wants to see where the town stands with revenues after tax bills have been sent and which may let them do something later. Jeff Duncan asked about the raise for Jeremy Oleson and was told that receiving one as of April 1, was a stipulation when Mr. Oleson was hired, and that obligation will be met. It was asked if a determination is made to put raises in if they will be retroactive to April 1. It was stated if raises are approved, they will be from when they are approved and will not be retroactive.
Police Chief, John Trammell, brought in two grants for the Selectmen to sign for receipt of payment. These are for specific patrols that will be done, and the Selectmen thanked Chief Trammell for finding these grants.
At this point, Selectman Moroney read a statement about information regarding grants. It is the Board’s hope that all will have a better understanding of the grant process. There is a misconception that Selectmen can do whatever they want and that is not the case. There was a discussion and suggestions of how to make people more aware of the process and the need to follow the procedure exactly. This usually includes having the funding approved before a grant can/will be awarded. Discussion led to why everything was voted no on March 10. It was agreed that emotions must be set aside and more information be made known about the consequences of actions. Educating the public was stated as being extremely important and Evan Karpf suggested attending multiple meetings of different committees and clubs, such as the Chamber of Commerce, Snowmobile Club, Women’s Discussion Group, etc. It was agreed by all that going forward to educate and inform is a must.
Selectman Moroney said the Board had decided to change the meeting schedule to every other week to see how it goes and also as an effort to help cut back and reduce costs. To be sure there is time to get the word out, this will not start until April 20, when there will not be a meeting. The savings will mostly be with wages, but there will be some energy savings as well.
Dr. Karpf said he was planning Community Pride Day but had not set a firm date yet. He advised that the Snowmobile Club will donate food for the barbecue afterward and Casella will donate a dumpster. Dr. Karpf noted the only thing that will be recycled will be tin cans. It was asked if Mount Washington Hotel was going to be involved and Dr. Karpf said they were not as of yet. It was stated that Mike Brunetti would be the contact person. Discussion of dates took place and it was decided on Saturday, May 9. Dr. Karpf requested permission to do flyers and charge them to the Health Officer’s budget which was granted. The Board thanked Dr. Karpf for his efforts and work.
There being no further discussion, Chairman Hancock made a Motion to: adjourn the meeting. Selectman Moroney seconded and the Motion passed unanimously. Chairman Hancock declared the meeting ended at 7:53 p.m.
