They are being made available at this time to conform to the requirements of New Hampshire RSA 91-A:2."

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: Greg Hogan, Roberta McGee, Bill Dowling, Frank Maturo, Linda Dowling, Tadd Bailey, Scott Sonia, Mike Gooden
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.”
Chairman Moroney made a Motion to: Accept the minutes for January 31, 2011 as written. Selectman Catalano seconded and the Motion passed unanimously.
The following items were approved and signed:
BTLA Settlement – Waite Family Fund
Water Warrant – Lennon
Property Tax Abatement – JABEZ, LLC
Commerford, Nieder, Perkins, LLC Contract for Cyclical Revaluation
Property Tax Elderly Exemption – Gooden
Chairman Moroney said the Annual Town Report will be going to the printers’ soon and that there is usually a dedication. She made a Motion To: Dedicate this year’s report to Bill Wright. Selectman Catalano seconded and the Motion passed unanimously.
Under Other, Chairman Moroney announced that because of the Presidents’ Day Holiday there will not be a meeting on February 21. She also announced former long-time resident, Gay Jordan has moved into her new assisted living residence, not far from her daughter, and just minutes from where she grew up in Massachusetts and is very happy, having already re-met long ago friends. Mrs. Moroney said she will send Gay’s new address to Maryclare for posting.
The Secretary said at the last meeting on January 31, the Board had requested that a letter be written to Brenda’s Country Kitchen about their sign on Route 115. However, she advised she had not done so as upon checking with Sgt. Smalley, the sign had been removed within days of that meeting. The Board agreed no letter was necessary as that was the point of it and they appreciated that it had been removed.
Selectmen Catalano said he had a question regarding Town Counsel being in attendance at the Deliberative Session. He said he was trying to understand why he was there and wondered if it was standard procedure. He explained when he arrived for the meeting several people had asked him and as he did not know Town Counsel was going to be there, he couldn’t answer it. He spoke of the fact that Town Counsel was also in attendance at last year’s meeting and figured it was because of the “To See” articles. Mr. Catalano said he asked Attorney Walter Mitchell why he was here and who requested to which he responded, he thought it was the Selectmen. Mr. Catalano said that was the first he had heard of that and wondered why he had not been consulted. It was stated that the Moderator had made the request.
Chairman Moroney explained that three years ago when the new law firm was interview and hired, they advised the Selectmen that it was common practice for Town Counsel to be in attendance at deliberative sessions and town meetings and they would be available if the Town wished. She went on to say it was not always possible for the former Town Counsel to be in attendance, and it was not normally requested for many reasons. The Secretary said the Moderator has the authority to request Counsel and it was made several months ago to the Town’s representative in the firm. This year, as with last year, the Moderator wanted to be sure legal opinion would be available should it be required. Unfortunately, Attorney Whitelaw became very ill and has been unable to attend to her duties for more than eight weeks, and the Secretary said it was certainly possible that in working to fulfill Attorney Whitelaw’s obligations, Attorney Mitchell did not know who actually requested their presence. Selectman Catalano asked that the Board be advised in the future.
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 7:26 p.m. The next meeting will be Monday, February 28, 2011.
