Selectmen next discussed the Verizon bill for additional charges for the utility pole relocation at 19 Mile Beach. Ted Bense thought it might be the extra pole that was not in the original plan. Chairman Weeks will contact Verizon.

At approximately 6:40 Selectmen met with Ted Bense. Mr. Bense submitted charts and statistics from this year’s Household Hazardous Waste collection sponsored by the LRPC. Only 19 Tuftonboro property owners participated in the one-day collection. Mr. Bense suggested drafting a questionnaire to find out what people want to do with their hazardous waste. Chairman Weeks mentioned that it might be included in the questionnaire the Planning Board will be sending out in preparation for the Master Plan. Mr. Bense was looking for more timely information so will prepare some questions and than present them to the Selectmen.

Mr. Bense questioned the barricading of Piper Road. Chairman Weeks answered that a temporary barricade was approved in order for the extensive work done on the road have a chance to compact and settle.

Chairman Weeks announced that the Selectmen will not be meeting on Labor Day, September 6^th but will have a special meeting on Tuesday at 4 pm to open the sealed bids for the renovation of the Town House and the sale of town owned property.

The information on the new portable voting booths was discussed. They could be delivered before the general election if ordered soon. It was thought that possibly the contractor for the renovation of the Town House could also remove the old booths. The new booths are needed to be ADA compliant.

The primary is September 14^th so the Selectmen will meet on Tuesday morning at the Town House at 8:00 am instead of the normal Monday night meeting.
