The Selectmen’s meeting minutes of
Items for Signature: MS-2 – Report of Appropriations Actually Voted; Community Bank signature cards.
Selectmen Bill Stockman took over as Chairman of the board.
Selectmen discussed the letter from Joy Perkins. Ms. Perkins was very upset that she had not received a ballot for the zoning ordinance changes with her absentee ballot packet. Selectman Weeks reported that 40 absentee ballots were received and that none of them included the zoning articles. A copy of the letter will be given to the new Town Clerk and Chairman Stockman will contact Ms. Perkins. The margin of the vote was large enough that it would not have affected the outcome.
The ballot for the election of Treasurer was incorrectly written as a two-year term. The town had approved a three-year term in 1989. It was confirmed with DRA that the treasurer was indeed elected for three years regardless of what was on the ballot.
Selectmen discussed the memo from Patty Korbet of H. E.
Bergeron regarding the problems with the contractor for the County Road Bridge
Project, Moores Marine. Ms. Korbet spent much more time on the project because
of the lack of communication by
Selectman Albee advised that Tom Willand and Jay Franks from the Wolfeboro Snowmobile Club approached him for permission to move part of the snowmobile trail onto the town landfill property. Fred Sargent has already said he sees no problem with the change. The club proposed erecting a chain link fence on the property so that snowmobilers would not stray off the trail onto the landfill. Selectmen decided that the fence would not be required initially, only if it becomes a problem. It was suggested that another means of identifying the trail could be used. The club is also applying for a block grant and would like permission to include the town as part of the grant. Selectmen approved the inclusion of the town for the grant.
The Selectmen advised that if the Code Officer position becomes available it would be advertised.
Selectman Weeks advised Jay Poulin that the Transfer Station renovation was passed at Town Meeting. Mr. Poulin will have a proposal ready in a couple of weeks.
Wes Flierl is putting together a bid package for the Town House renovations. The Selectmen felt that the bid package from the first renovation was adequate so the same format will be used again. Mr. Flierl is working with the Code Officer on rating the Town House for occupancy.
Selectman Weeks made a motion to appoint Heather Cubeddu as Motor Vehicle Agent and sign the letter to the State. Seconded by Selectman Albee with all in favor.
