Chairman Hancock made a Motion to: Accept the minutes for January 25, 2010 as written. Selectman Moroney seconded and the Motion passed unanimously.

Stan Borkowski�s report was received and posted.

Selectman Moroney stated as it had been on the radio and in the newspapers that Bretton Woods owed the Town for all of their 2009 taxes, the Board wanted to make it publicly known that they had made payments of $219,210.85. This is most of the amount due for the first issue taxes, except for a very small amount of interest.

The following items were approved and signed:

Letter to Liquor Commission on behalf of Mount Washington Resort � To expand their license
at the Bretton Arms to include the porch and garden
Certificates of Occupancy � Birchwood Commons, Room 6 and Room 11
E9-1-1- Liaison Appointment Form
Intent to Cut � Rumford Paper Company
Certification of Yield Taxes Assessed � Royle
Yield Tax Warrant � Royle
Property Tax Abatement � Hogan (Police Station)

Chairman Hancock read a letter from the Conservation Commission supporting the project to replace a culvert with a bridge on Tuttle Brook, as discussed by Mr. Tyler Phillips at the previous Selectmen�s meeting. This project will be totally funded by grant money and will restore the natural flow of the brook so fish and wildlife will have easier passage (letter attached).

Chairman Hancock also read a letter from Barry Sondern, General Manager at the Mount Washington Resort and Bretton Woods Ski Area expressing their appreciation for the Police Department and the Fire Department and their Chiefs (letter attached). Tom Gately asked about it being read at the Deliberative Session, and which it was decided it shouldn�t be. He requested that it be posted on the website.

Discussion too place regarding the contract from Avery�s Sweeping. Bill Rines said this is the same company who has done the town sweeping for the past two years and has kept the price the same, at $3,500. Originally, Mr. Rines had put a notice for bids in the paper and had no response, so he called a number of surrounding areas, Whitefield, Lancaster, Littleton, Bretton Woods, and Avery�s was recommended to him by all. Though everyone seemed comfortable with this, the Board thought it advisable for Mr. Rines to try to find out if there are any other companies who do sweeping now. Ben Jellison said he had seen what he thought was sweeping equipment at Presby Construction when going by recently. Mr. Rines will telephone the company and inquire about sweeping. Therefore, Chairman Hancock made a Motion to: Table signing the Avery contract until the next meeting when Bill has had a chance to make the phone call. Selectman Moroney seconded, and the Motion passed unanimously.

Chairman Hancock then made a Motion to: Vote for the Selectmen to waive their attorney-client privile regarding confidentiality on a letter to them from Shawn Tanguay from then-Town Counsel, Bernie Waugh's office, dated November 1, 2007, File #1651. Selectman Moroney seconded and the Motion passed unanimously (letter attached).

As there was no further business, Chairman Hancock declared the meeting ended at 7:34 p.m. and moved to go into Non-Public Session for Personnel Matters. The Board was polled and went into Non-Public Session.

At the close of Non-Public Session, 8:35 p.m., Chairman Hancock moved to return to Public Session and seal the minutes from Non-Public Session. Selectman Mills seconded and the Motion passed unanimously.

There being no further discussion, Chairman Hancock made a Motion to: adjourn the meeting. Selectman Mills seconded and the Motion passed unanimously. Chairman Hancock declared the meeting ended at 8:36 p.m. The next meeting will be Monday, February 8, 2010.
