At approximately 3:00
Joe Kowalski explained to the Selectmen that he was going to videotape the
meetings for a while and was planning to broadcast the tape on the Adelphia
public channel (3). Mr. Kowalski is interested in what the response would be
from the public. He will continue to research the procedure and then let the
Selectmen know when exactly the meetings would be shown.
At approximately 3:10
Selectmen met with Code Officer Ted Wright and resident Bill Holmes. Mr. Holmes
had received a Cease & Desist order from the Code Officer for his
properties on Leavitt Lane
and at Hidden Valley
as they are in violation of the Town’s junkyard zoning ordinance. Mr. Holmes
has been accumulating vehicles and junk on both properties. He intended to
construct a steel building on the Leavitt Lane
property to hold everything but due to a lack of funds he will not be able to
put the building up. Mr. Holmes is requesting permission to put up a temporary
tent/greenhouse type of structure. The Selectmen responded that this has been
going on for 3 to 4 years and there has been no demonstration of intent to
clean up his properties. The Selectmen asked Mr. Holmes to come up with a
realistic plan with a timetable as to how the junk can be properly stored. Mr.
Holmes was also told that he couldn’t continue to accumulate any more junk.
Mr. Holmes will return next week with a plan for the
Selectmen to review.
Code Officer Ted Wright announced that he has received his
surveyor’s license. He also mentioned that the Selectmen might want to consider
making the position fulltime.
At approximately 3:35
Selectman Weeks made a motion to go into non-public session pursuant to RSA
91-A: 3 II (e) to discuss a legal matter. Selectman Albee seconded the motion.
Roll call: Chairman Stockman – yes, Selectman Albee – yes, Selectman Weeks –
yes.
At approximately 3:50
the Selectmen moved back into public session and met with Police Chief
Shagoury. Chief Shagoury reported that notices have been placed at 19 Mile
Beach to ask people not to block or park in front of the portable toilets. The
driver of the tractor-trailer that has been parked at the town lot at 19 Mile
Bay has been told he cannot park
there. He was also told the truck is too big for town roads.

The Selectmen discussed possibly using the extra police
vehicle (after the new vehicle is purchased) for the Code Officer or any work
related travel.
Selectman Weeks has gotten in touch with the architect
regarding the Public Safety
Building and was advised that they
are swamped with work and suggested getting someone closer to home. Selectman
Weeks will contact the company they referred.
