Evan Karpf commented about the Excavation Tax Warrant for Pike Industries, Inc. and Rines. He questioned the Board about signing for Rines and asked Selectman Moroney if she had seen the information from Provan and Lorber as she was on the Planning Board and they had requested a review of the Rines property. Selectman Moroney stated this warrant was for taxes from the past year’s excavation and did not really have anything to do with the issues the Planning Board was working on. Dr. Karpf said the Board might be surprised at the area if they were to look at it and the Board inferred that he was talking about the amount of material being claimed on the form. Selectman Catalano read the amount of taxes due on the various forms at the request of Dr. Karpf. Selectman Moroney said if it is actually more than shown, the Town can bill Mr. Rines for that amount. Selectman Moroney made a Motion to: Sign the Excavation Tax Warrant, Selectman Catalano seconded and it passed unanimously.

It was noted the grant applications for the Police Department were for DWI and speed control patrols in which the Department has participated in past years.

The CEDC (Carroll Economic Development Corp.) update was in response to Jay Ouellette’s attendance several weeks ago. Mr. Ouellette read a commentary in which he asked that Town Counsel respond to him. Attorney Whitelaw was contacted and she stated she continues to stand by her email of September, 2009. She advised the Board vote to waive their attorney-client privilege and disclose it to Mr. Ouellette. Therefore, Selectman Moroney made a Motion: To waive the attorney-client privilege with regard to the email from Attorney Jae Whitelaw dated September 8, 2009, regarding “CEDC” and only as to that communication.” Selectman Catalano seconded and the Motion passed unanimously. At the request of Joan Karpf, Selectman Moroney read the email (copy attached).

Under Other, Joan Karpf asked who the town’s auditor is. The Secretary said it is Melanson and Heath.

As there was no further business, Acting Chairman Moroney moved to go into Non-Public Session for Pending Litigation and Town Aid at 7:27 p.m. The Board was polled and went into Non-Public Session.

At the close of Non-Public Session, Acting Chairman Moroney moved to return to Public Session and seal the minutes from Non-Public Session. Selectman Catalano seconded and the Motion passed unanimously.

There being no further business, Acting Chairman Moroney made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Selectman Catalano seconded and the motion passed unanimously. Acting Chairman Moroney declared the meeting ended at 7:47 p.m. The next meeting will be Monday, May 17, 2010.
