6:20 p.m. North Beach Maintenance:

A discussion by the board that Taplins charges $20.00 each week and

for $10.00 more will hose down the bathhouse. Nancy stated that

Taplins did this last Thursday. A key is needed for the toilet paper

box and light bulbs are needed. Taplins will not do trash so a box

is needed that locks to keep trash receptacles in. Keys will need to

be given to Jim Morin, the cleaning crew and Taplins.

David Stevens said that a rust inhibitor should be used before

painting is done. Also need trash receptacles, locks and may need

storage for toilet paper and supplies.

Nancy Mallary said that when Taplins hoses down it is from the waste

down

Debi Rash will look for the key to the toilet paper

6:25 p.m. John Alexander stated that we need a protocol when jerry

works. Jerry basically works for nothing. Jerry wants to know where

it gets charged.

Nancy Mallary asked if we should reopen bids. There is the issue of

insurance. Do we want then to be employed by the town or do we want

it to be by contract? Mark Perkins asked who use to mow the beach.

Nancy stated Gerald Jones.

John Alexander asked how do we want to pay. There was much

discussion on having one of the current contractors for the town, do

the beach maintenance or putting out to bid.

A motion was made by Nancy and 2nd by David to have Debi Rash

contact All Terrain and Seth Rowell and see if they would amend

their contract as addendum to do cleaning

and mowing at the North Beach. This motion passed unanimously.

Jerry stated that he would do the beach maintenance until the town

got someone. The Select board graciously accepted.

Debi will bring results to the next board meeting.

6:40 p.m. Randi made suggestion that the town post a sign that all

septic tanks need to be pumped. John Alexander suggested that our

Health Officer write a letter to the editor.

6:44 p.m. Local Citizens:

Paul Waskelwicz suggested to the board that the agenda change for

the meeting so that the board takes care of old business 1st and

then do new business. Nancy explained that we do it this way to get

people in 1st because of time issues. John stated that this is not

in stone and it could be changed.

6:49 p.m. Ron Holmes brought up Dennis Desmaris and his job

performance compared to the raise he got this year. Mark and Eric

Perkins said that Dennis does a good job grading-better than Ad

Taylor. Ron Holmes feels that we shouldn’t have someone from another

town do the job that we should have our road crew learn to do these

things. There was much discussion on this. The consensus from those

in attendance was that David Stevens, being the Road Commissioner,

should watch over the road crew to be sure they are doing what needs

to be done in town and to have some sort of control. David didn’t

feel the need to watch over their shoulders and feels it would be

counter active. They don’t need babysitters. Eric Perkins feels

there is things that need to worked on that have been overlooked.

Nancy Mallary stated that she understands the concerns but the town

has never had any complaints. She said that townspeople need to give

input.

Kathy Holmes, Ron Holmes and Eric Perkins all stated a need for

David Stevens to inspect the roads to see what needs attention.

David Stevens said he would travel the roads and check them out.

Eric Perkins said that last year he made a complaint and got no

response.

Randi Pickel showed concern for the amount of money the road crew

makes.

David explained that the road crew’s raises we needed for cost of

living and the winter work that the road crew does.

Mark Perkins stated that the road crew doesn’t do the side roads

along Hinton Hill when they plow it. Wouldn’t it be better if they

did?

David said he would have Dennis do an outline of his jobs. Ron

Holmes feels that Dennis is doing what he wants. Kathy Holmes wanted

to know if we shouldn’t be bidding out Ad Taylor’s job. In response

David Stevens said that Ad Taylor does a great job. Nancy said that

Ad has been with our town for years.

John Alexander feels we are getting a bargain with Ad Taylor. John

said we ask for outlines from road crew. John does not feel

comfortable with the monies issues. He said that the Select board

will split up the town and each of them will take a section. Please

don’t feel like you can’t call the town with a complaint.

Erik Perkins wanted to know why we rented an Excavator. Jerry stated

that it was cheaper than owning one.

There was a discussion on Long Pond Rd and Lacross Rd. They both

need work. Erik Perkins feels there are simple things that the road

crew should notice.

Paul Waskelwicz would like to see the road grants reported in the

Town Report so that people would understand the monies better. He

would like to see how the town spends this money.

Randi Pickel was concerned with a crack on 5A in front of her house.

David Stevens said that 5A is a state road. Route 16 is a town road.

Nancy Mallary said they would invite Dennis to the next meeting to

discuss complaints and road conditions with him.

Lawyers for the next meeting.

contract in hand.

Nancy Mallary wanted to know what the town gets for the $10,000.00.

Jeremy stated 4 days of survey. Nancy felt that was unacceptable.

John stated that we are not here to subsidize his business.

After much discussion, Jeremy requested a letter of intent from the

town to take to the bank. Melissa Zebrowski made some suggestions to

Jeremy of places he could get help with funding. Nancy stated that

Jeremy still needs CPR licence.

There was concern with the insurance being to low. Would the town be

responsible for anything Jeremy’s insurance didn’t cover? David said

the board would run it by their attorney.

8:00 p.m. Reclassification of Roads:

John Alexander read the posting of the meeting.

8:01 p.m. Nancy Mallary recused herself.

John read the letters from Annalei Babson and from Bob & Bev

Cummings. There was a question and answer session on both Tower Lane

and Old Cottage Lane.

Roy Perkins suggested the board do a study of 1/10 or 5/10 of a

class 3 road to see what it cost year round so they have an idea of

the cost.

The board decided to look at both roads and make a decision. Roy

Perkins feels that Dale Perron should be involved and shouldn’t he

have to sign off. David Stevens will talk to Dale to get his input.

road.
