Selectman’s Assistant reported on a deposit received from the Recreation Department, and sought clarification from the Select Board regarding the proper handling of these funds. After the purchase of tee-shirts for the summer concert series, due to restrictions related to each fund, the Selectman’s Assistant asked the Recreation Department if they would like a journal entry completed to allow for the sale of the tee-shirts to raise funds. Rec Department declined, and informed they would offer the tee-shirts in exchange for donations. In October the Rec Department submitted a deposit for $270 labeled tee-shirts to the Selectman’s Office and asked that the funds be deposited into the Recreation Revolving account. Selectman’s Assistant asked for clarification from the Treasurer on proper handling of the deposit. Treasurer informed that because the funds were raised through the General Fund they do not belong in the Recreation Revolving checking account, and suggested a Trust Fund. Chairperson Moroney informed that previously for instances like this the Recreation Department would utilize the Recreation Revolving checking account for the initial purchase, and stated funds from the General Fund were not to be used for fundraising. Following discussion the Select Board instructed the Selectman’s Assistant to reach out to the Recreation Department and offer 2 suggestions. The first is that the deposit of $270 goes back into the General Fund to partially reimburse the cost of the purchase of the tee-shirts. The second is to use the Rec Revolving Account to pay the General Fund back for the initial purchase of the tee-shirts, then the $270 deposit can go into the Rec Revolving Account. Selectman’s Assistant will reach out to Recreation and follow up.
Chairperson Moroney recognized Fire Chief Jeff Duncan who reported on insurance companies having issues seeing fire hydrants on the town’s GIS map, which can impact the cost of insurance for residents. Duncan requested that to resolve this issue the town share the information on the hydrants and locations through the GIS map and make this information available to the public. Duncan reported this would cost the town $400. Chairperson Moroney made a motion to move forward. Imre Szauter was recognized, who informed the Energy Commission utilized this when completing the LED streetlight installation, and those streetlights are now visible as a layer in GIS. Selectman Mycko seconded. All in favor, none opposed. Motion for Chief Duncan to move forward with making the hydrant locations available through the GIS map passed.
Chairperson Moroney again recognized Fire Chief Jeff Duncan who asked about the 911 numbering discussed at a prior meeting. Moroney informed that the cost of the signs will be determined by the Director of Public Works and will be added to the sign line of the 2026 budget. Duncan also asked about dry hydrants and draining, or not draining, the recreation area pond. Selectman’s Assistant will reach out to Primex regarding the town’s liability.
Chairperson Moroney recognized Imre Szauter who informed on the withdrawal of the proposal from Kearsarge Energy and Letter of Intent (LOI) due to the interconnect study completed to determine the cost to get the power stored at the old landfill, and reports the cost would be 5-10 million dollars. Due to this cost Szauter informs the LOI has been withdrawn. Following discussion, the Select Board determined the Selectman’s Assistant will reach out to legal to determine if the town needs to take any action regarding the withdrawal of the LOI.
Szauter informed that the Carroll Energy Commission (CEC) will be reviewing a contract regarding the sale of renewable energy credits at their next meeting and will provide the Select Board with a summary and recommendation regarding this contract following their review.
Chairperson Moroney informed that the Harvest Dinner will be this coming Saturday, November 8th from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Fire Station.
