The board announced the approval of bills and signing of checks.

Selectman Strasser moved to accept the minutes of February 4, 2008, as written. Chairman Moroney seconded and the motion passed unanimously.

Stan Borkowski’s report has been posted on the bulletin board.

The Oath of Office certificate for Pamela Walsh as a member of the Zoning Board of Adjustment from January 7, 2008, was presented for signing by the selectmen. It was an oversight that it had not been signed at the time Ms. Walsh was sworn in. Both selectmen present signed the certificate.

The following items were approved and signed.

Water Warrant – Palmer, Burt, Hoffman

Commerford Nieder Perkins Assessing Contract for Pickups and general assessing

Chairman Moroney announced that Monday, February 18 is a holiday, but as we’ve published a notice in the papers, the Public Hearing for refunding of the USDA Rural Bond will be held that evening. However, it will be the only item on the agenda.

Chairman Moroney reported that John Trammell had found some letters in his files that John Gardiner had sent to the selectmen years ago. Selectman Vecchio had indicated she’d like to see some of the requests he’d made with regard to conditions at the police station. Selectman Strasser moved to post them on the bulletin board. Chairman Moroney seconded the motion, and it was passed unanimously.

Selectman Strasser said he’d spoken to Bruce Seymourian about the bond the Planning Board had requested for his Sugarloaf Drive subdivision. Mr. Seymourian said he had tried to get a letter of credit, but since he’s not incorporated, it’s not available to him. He asked Selectman Strasser if he could put the $25,000 in an escrow account with his attorney. The Planning Board will be advised.

Selectman Strasser also reported that Matt Low of Hoyle Tanner said our tax maps must be corrected before construction on the bridge starts. There is a piece of land that belongs to Don Gadbois that is not shown on the map. The secretary will find out how to get Cartographics to correct this. Selectman Strasser suggested Mark Russell would have copies of the relevant deed(s).

Bill Dowling said that Provan & Lorber will require a contact person for the monitoring work on the old landfill, and Selectman Strasser moved to have Mr. Dowling be that person. Chairman Moroney seconded the motion, and it was passed unanimously.

Selectman Strasser read part of the note from Hoyle Tanner regarding the bid results from earlier in the day. Hoyle Tanner’s base bid was $817,748, and the low bid came in at $679,745. This was from Bayview Construction Corp. The high bid was $968,579.60. Hoyle Tanner said the Bayview bid and bid bond seem to be in order, and if the DOT has no objections, they recommend that the town awards the contract to Bayview. Selectman made a motion to award the contract to Bayview subject to DOT approval and passage of the warrant article for funding. Chairman Moroney seconded the motion, and it was passed unanimously. Selectman Strasser pointed out that the fact that the bid was as low as it was is good new for the town. It means we should have a lower tax impact in 2008 than expected.

At 7:45 PM, as there was no additional business, Chairman Moroney declared the meeting ended, and moved to go into executive session regarding legal matters and town aid. This was seconded by Selectman Strasser. The board was polled, and went into executive session.

At the close of executive session, Chairman Moroney made a motion to return to public session and seal the minutes from executive session; Selectman Strasser seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
