During discussion, Mr. Rines said that Shop Expense & Tools was reduced and the only projected purchase was a band saw as they have using his personal one all these years. It was suggested that he look over the budget and if there is money available now, purchase it this year, so he may show a larger reduction for next year. Mr. Rines pointed out he’s not sure what the Radio Repairs will do as Narrow Band is coming in and he doesn’t know if their radios will even work then. Fire Chief Jeff Duncan stated that probably most radios won’t work because of their ages. For Road Resurfacing, current plans call for working on Woodcrest, Parker Road near Ledoux Road, Twin View Drive, Little River Road and Ridgeview Drive, if possible depending on cost of materials. Mr. Rines is in the process of trying to get the State bid for culverts. They need at least a five piece section for the beach area at the park, as it has collapsed. Mr. Rines also noted he had added two lines as they occasionally need office supplies and one for street signs and posts as they have had no lines for allocating.
The following items were approved and signed:
Town Hall Use Permit Applications – Fabrizio, (one for a surprise birthday party)
Current Use Warrant – Fowler
Acting Chairman Moroney tabled the awarding of the Septic System bid for at least a week as all three Selectmen are not present.
Bill Dowling, Superintendent of the Transfer Station, told of having attended a seminar on electronic waste and part of what was discussed was untreated wood. Mr. Dowling explained that effective January 1, 2011, this wood will not be able to be burned at the Transfer Station – the tree it came from will as will any minimal pieces of a whole, which they call “incidental untreated wood.” However, he went on to say that the law is not clear on what incidental means – so he assured the Board he will do his best there. It was stated that this was actually put through in 2008 by DES that contractors were no longer allowed to burn the wood – apparently it will soon apply to everyone.
Mr. Dowling also told the Board that the old landfill was tested for Dioxins last year and he has received a report that there were none detected. The test wells have been determined as healthy and no further testing is required.
The Secretary advised the Select Board that Richard Piper of R.M. Piper, Inc., is finishing a bridge project in Crawford Notch and had some materials left over. Mr. Piper asked Bill Rines if this was anything the Town might be able to use which they may, but upon checking with the Snowmobile Club, they also can use some. It will be trucked free of charge and stored temporarily at the town pit beyond the Recreation Area as approved by the Selectmen. When asked, Mr. Rines said it was approximately 150 yards of material.
The Secretary asked the Board, as it is within their authority to transfer money within the budget, if they would approve the following transfers:
FROM Highway Budget Salary Line TO Water Budget Salary Line for Scott Sonia, $10,500
And the following all within the Water Budget:
FROM Contract -- Labor Exp TO Contract Labor $ 4,999
FROM Water Expansion TO Water Supplies 4,999
FROM Water Expansion – Piping TO Water Supplies 4,999
FROM Water Expansion – Testing TO Water Supplies 999
It was explained because this is the first year that Water is a separate department, setting the first budget was difficult as we really didn’t have a good history for requirements. Also, the lines that had money removed were each left with $1 to keep them open in case it turned out they were needed. Selectman Moroney made a Motion to: Move the money for the Water Department as requested. Selectman Catalano seconded and it passed unanimously.
As there was no further business, Acting Chairman Moroney moved to go into Non-Public Session for Town Aid, Personnel Matters and Legal at 7:54 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 9:40 p.m. The next meeting will be Monday, September 27, 2010.
