Selectman Catalano questioned the State rate for gasoline and felt from all information
he has received at his business that prices will not be going up. It was also suggested
that gas be put out to bid. It was pointed out that the system with the State allows gas
to be purchased any time of the day or night – it was stated that during the repair at the
State pumps this summer, the departments only had to make a phone call if they
needed gas in the night and Mr. Foster opened for them. The Selectmen agreed they
could request bids again as they had for the State repair period. Other noted line items
were also reduced.

Budget reduction discussion continued as Selectman Catalano noted it was about a 2% reduction from last year and he felt it should be more like 10%. Because they must bring their budget to the Budget Committee on Wednesday, October 20, and because of the late hour, the Selectmen agreed to work on it individually and meet and vote on it at the meeting on the 20th. Therefore, Selectman Catalano made a Motion to: Recess the budget discussion until Wednesday, October 20, when they can review any changes and vote on it. Selectman Moroney seconded and the Motion passed.
The following items were approved and signed:
Voting Place Notification Warrant
DRA Application for Reimbursement – Payment of PILOT for National Forest Lands
Deputy Forest Fire Warden Appointment/Reappointment Forms

Scott Sonia said he had been unable to attend an earlier meeting to report on September water usage and wished to do so tonight. 2009 usage was at 5,529,022 gallons; 2010 was at 2,289,416 for a savings of more than 3 million gallons in the month. This also resulted in a reduction of pump time of 122 hours and the amount of soda ash from 35 bags in ’09 to 10 in ’10. These savings are due to possibly to some conservation, but mostly to repairing leaks by the town and individuals. Mr. Sonia received a round of applause.
Evan Karpf spoke on behalf of Jim Covey, who had to leave the meeting early. Mr. Covey had brought a number of historic photos lent by Betty Gilman and Lee Hallquist, which the Chamber of Commerce had enlarged and put on sturdy backing. These will be displayed here at the Town Hall as part of the Chamber’s beautification program for the town. Dr. Karpf showed the pictures and everyone was delighted with them.
When asked, the Selectmen advised there had not been any response to the ad placed in the papers for the vacant Selectman’s seat.
As there was no further business, Selectman Moroney declared the meeting ended at 9:44 p.m. and moved to go into Non-Public Session for Personnel Matters and Town Aid. The Board was polled and went into Non-Public Session.
At the close of Non-Public Session, Selectman 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 10:56 p.m. The next meeting will be Monday, October 25, 2010.
