Staff Meeting was held at 1:30 pm. The new cash receipting program has been installed and working great. Sharon Freethey and Gigi Hardy have both been trained to enter cash transactions. Sharon can issue license plates now from the town office.
There was a quote from Lane Construction for $87,146.70 for shimming and surfacing on Flye Point Road. The town has $60,000.00 in the paving account and the road commissioner suggested we shim the surface this year and do the finish surface next year. Neil Allen had checked and this shimming would hold up through the winter. Neil will do the ditching and replace culverts as needed.
Jerry Gray would like to vote next week to set the tax mill rate for the July 1, 2009 tax commitment. Jerry will try and work on the figures needed and contact RJD Appraisals to help with the reporting.
Tammy Andrews, Treasurer, asked if it would be possible to take all the cemetery trust passbook savings accounts (16 in all) and put them into one account. Lorna will check with the town auditor.
The board discussed the possibility of purchasing the Trio Budgetery program and Lorna will gather information for this program and report back next week. Jerry asked Lorna and Tammy to print out the expenses for Administration and get a look at what the balance of the account might be. Also, to check the Fire Proof Vault account to see if there is any money for buying shelving.
Rich Freethey will draft an outline for a policy usage charter for the Vault and present it to the board next week. After reviewing the outline and if given the OK, he will proceed with the charter.
The Select Board received a phone call from the lawyer’s office who represents Hugh Pomeroy and stated Mr. Pomeroy withdrew his request for an appeals hearing with the select board today at 5:30 pm. The board sent a letter to the lawyer verifying the message we received by phone that Mr. Pomeroy withdrew his request for an appeals hearing.
Gigi Hardy suggested the town put the commitment book information on the website as well as the town maps. Lorna will check with Greg Summers and see what would be involved for him to post this information to our website.
Center Harbor Landing needs a load of gravel/rocks dumped to make better access to the water for launching boats. It is very difficult to drive onto the beach at the present time.
