Minutes:
The Selectmen’s meeting minutes for 6-21-04 have been approved.
At approximately 6:15,
Selectman Albee made a motion to go into non-public session pursuant to RSA
91-A: 3 II (b) to discuss a personnel issue. Selectman Stockman seconded the
motion. Roll call: Chairman Weeks – yes, Selectman Stockman – yes, Selectman
Albee – yes.
At approximately 6:35
Selectmen met with Mary Ann Murray and Eric Roseen of the Parks and Rec
Commission. Mary Ann said that some of her issues have been taken care of – the
swim lines and rafts were in the water early Monday morning before the swim
team met. Ms. Murray will meet Tuesday morning with the road agent and Center
Harbor Docks to decide how to attach the kick boards to the rafts. Mr. Roseen
and Ms. Murray expressed a concern about the maintenance of the beach. Ted
Bense, in a volunteer capacity, has been raking it the past couple of years and
Mr. Roseen felt that the work should be compensated. Chairman Weeks stated that
there is a lack of coordination between all of the people who do work at the
beach and would like Parks and Rec to put together a plan or schedule of who
does what and when. The ball field has been fixed for now but will need
additional work next year. The road agent suggested that the sand be moved into
a big pile, then mixed with loam and seeded. The Selectmen approved having the
road agent do this work. Mr. Roseen advised that as the commission is looking
for another group to take over the maintenance of the ice rink it has been ‘put
out to bid’. A notice was placed in the current issue of the Tuftonboro Times.
At approximately 6:55
Selectmen met with Road Agent Steve Hunter. Mr. Hunter reported that Pike is in
the area paving 109A so hopefully they will start the Tuftonboro paving soon.
Selectman Stockman referred a comment made by a resident on Shirley
Way regarding the size of the rocks in the
road. Mr. Hunter has scheduled the
hazardous tree work to be done around 7/15.
Chairman Weeks reported the poles have finally been moved
from 19 Mile Beach.
Selectmen approved and signed the following:
- Facility
Use Contract for the Tuftonboro Central
School
- Intent
to Cut for Cubeddu
- Right
of Burial for Cheney
Selectmen discussed the abatement recommendations made by MRI.
A motion was made by Selectman Stockman to approve the recommendations of MRI
regarding the four abatement requests. Seconded by Selectman
Albee with all in favor. Three of the abatements were for properties
contaminated by the PAK 2000 fire. MRI
recommended approving the three and used the same formula as the BTLA in the
Poirier decision to determine value. The approvals are as follows:
- PAK
2000, Inc. - $4974.95 plus interest
- William
& Richard Forbes - $932.54 plus interest
- John
L. Hersey - $526.32 plus interest
The Selectmen denied the abatement request by Edward
Riordan.
Chairman Weeks reported that HEB
would meet with the Selectmen in the next week or two to present the plan for
the Transfer Station.
The meeting with the architect, Wes Flierl, has been
rescheduled to Tuesday June 29th at 1PM
at the Town House.
The Selectmen next discussed the Fire Protection Water
Source plan submitted by Chief Thompson. This plan would be a guideline for new
developments. One suggestion was to clarify the use and accessibility of water
sources already available. Selectmen will look at it further for the next
meeting.
Selectman Stockman stated that the Public Safety Needs
Committee was looking for more direction from the Board. Chairman Weeks
responded that she has already spoken to Joe Kowalski and referred him back to
the original directive. The idea is to develop a plan for the town that looks
at what we have and what we need. How adequate is the town now and what is the
right way to go. Chairman Weeks advised that the committee should visit town
buildings as well as surrounding town’s facilities as a group. At the end of
the study the committee should also have a direction for the long term.
Dave Eaton reported that the Budget Committee met last
Tuesday. The Selectmen will be notified of any BudCom meetings and will pick a
representative to attend.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:30
PM.
Respectfully Submitted,
Carolyn Sundquist
Administrative Assistant
