January 24, 2011
"These minutes of the Town of Carroll Select Board have been recorded by its Secretary. Though believed to be accurate and correct they are subject to additions, deletions and corrections by the Select Board at its next meeting when the Board votes its final approval of the minutes. They are being made available at this time to conform to the requirements of New Hampshire RSA 91-A:2."
Minutes recorded by Maryclare Quigley, Secretary
Board members present: Bonnie Moroney, Mark Catalano
The meeting was called to order at 7:00 PM by Chairman Moroney
Members of the public present: Bill Dowling, Linda Dowling, Frank Maturo, Roberta McGee, Mike Gooden, Greg Hogan, John Trammell, Scott Sonia, Bill Smalley, Butch Garneau, Joan Karpf
Pledge of Allegiance
Chairman Moroney read the following statement: “This meeting is being taped by a private citizen and is not done under the sponsorship of the town and is not an official record of the town.”
As Selectman Catalano had not had a chance to read the minutes of January 10, 2011, they were tabled until the next meeting.
Chairman Moroney made a Motion to: Accept the minutes for January 20, 2011 as written. Selectman Catalano seconded and the Motion passed unanimously.
Mike Gooden from the Historical Society was called upon for his first “Historic Minutes” – bringing a bit of town history to the Selectmen’s meeting. He chose “How the town got its Name,” and proceeded to speak of the Charter granted in 1772 to Sir Thomas Wentworth for a tract of land called “Bretton-Woods” after the family estate in England called Bretton Hall. The population fluctuated between 12 and 19 from 1800 to 1820 and by 1830, it had grown to 150 people and they wanted representation with the legislature. June 22, 1832, the legislature passed an Act incorporating the Town of Carroll – many New Hampshire communities were named or renamed to commemorate great figures of the Revolutionary Way period. Charles Carroll of Maryland, a distinguished and well known American was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Thus, the new town was named and included the villages of Crawford’s, Bretton-Woods, Fabyans, and Twin Mountain. The last Town Meeting for the Town of Bretton-Woods was March 13, 1832, with Selectmen John Howe, Thomas Smith and John Perkins. The first Town Meeting for the Town of Carroll was September 12, 1832 with Selectmen William Denison, Phineas Rosebrook and John Perkins.
The Secretary gave an update on the signs for Brenda’s Country Kitchen per Building Inspector/Code Enforcement Officer, Stan Borkowski – the sign on Route 115 will be removed and the “specials” board is taken in at night as it should be.
The following items were approved and signed:
Town Hall Use Permit Application -- WMHRS JROTC, Chamber of Commerce, Carroll
Transfer Station
Certificate of Occupancy – Dewhurst, Geller
Commerford, Nieder, Perkins, LLC General Assessing Services Contract
Current Use Application – Sierpina
The Secretary brought attention to a letter from NH The Beautiful, Inc. regarding a grant the Town received for a Highway storage trailer as a result of the endeavors of Bill Dowling, Transfer Station Superintendent. Chairman Moroney read the letter awarding the grant and the Board thanked Mr. Dowling for his efforts.
Chairman Moroney spoke of winter roads. She said the Board has been notified by the State regarding concerns on Old Cherry Mountain Road. The State maintains Old Cherry Mountain Road and Lennon Road, but the Town does the winter plowing. There have been numerous contacts regarding this and the State has told us if this continues, they will turn the roads over to the Town 100% and the town will then be responsible for all maintenance. There have been agreements basically since the 1800’s and written ones since the 1930’s. It would be very costly if the State were to turn these roads over, as the cost of plowing is not even close to what the cost of summer maintenance is. It was pointed out this could include, among other things, ditching the sides for drainage, replacing culverts, and grading. It was pointed out that it is important to keep an eye on costs but this plowing is not only legal, it is the most cost effective.
Under Other, Dave “Ike” Ikasalo wanted to check on the Route 115 sign for Brenda’s Country Kitchen. It was reiterated that this will be removed and that all of their signs will be brought into compliance. They have been working with the State and will be erecting a state sign on Route 3 South at some point. Mr. Ikasalo wanted to be sure that everyone follows the same rules which the Board assured him they do enforce.
As there was no further business, Chairman Moroney moved to go into Non-Public Session for Town Aid at 7:27 p.m. The Board was polled and went into Non-Public Session.
At the close of Non-Public Session, 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 discussion, Selectman Moroney made a Motion to: adjourn the meeting. Selectman Catalano seconded and the Motion passed unanimously. Selectman Moroney declared the meeting ended at 8:55 p.m. The next meeting will be Monday, January 24, 2011.
