Mike and Prudy Piechota stopped in to meet the Board and introduce themselves. They are from Nashua and recently purchased a home on Riverside Av. They had questions regarding constructing a garage on a separate lot opposite where their home is located. WJ advised them of the proper setbacks for the building (10’ side lines and 25’ front and rear), as the property is located in zone B. Applications for a building permit and a notice of intent form is required when they decide to build. Prudy noted she had worked on the SERA committee in Nashua developing their HAZMAT preparedness plan. She was instrumental in starting the program.
7:15 pm. Harvey Paquin manager of the transfer/recycling center reported to the Board on a number of activities at the facility. Plans to cover the compactor with a shed type roof are still moving slowly forward. Mike McKeever, building trades instructor at LRS, has not yet met with HP to discuss the project. WJ will discuss with Mike again. It does not appear the project will be done this winter. Some temporary solutions were discussed but no decision was made. HP reported on the activity at the Pemi-Baker District. Landaff is now an official member of the District, funds from a former capital reserve fund are being returned to towns that contributed to the fund, Lisbon is not included in that distribution. Stockley Trucking is still cleaning up the metal pile and the markets for all recyclables are still very good. HP
left the meeting at 7:45 pm
WJ reported on the new Fire station committee. The subcommittee for selecting an architect to work on the needs assessment with the committee will meet on Tuesday, 11/23 at 6:00 pm to prepare the RFQs and the schedule to complete the committee’s work. JH will plan to attend. WJ reported he anticipates contacting Walter Young regarding his plans for using the former Lisbon Chevy property.
WJ reported several department heads have submitted their 2005 budgets to him. Some budgets are still being prepared and should be in by next Monday. A date to meet with the department heads should be looked at for the week of December 13 by the Board.
WJ requested the Board approve a bad check policy change from $5.00 to $20.00 charge to the person who writes the bad check to the Town for any reason. If the check is for multiple items like water and sewer it is a major problem to correct in the computer system. JH moved and JN 2nd to approve the bad check policy as requested to $20.00. So voted all.
WJ requested approval to expend legal budget funds to investigate the status of the legal right of way access to a parcel of property owned by the Town off the Gulf Rd. The property is located in the middle of a large parcel of land owned by Marjorie Smith and Steven Smith. WJ and Charlotte Derosia have researched the Town records to determine if a right of way was deeded to the Town when the property was transferred from the Sullivan’s. JH moved and JN 2nd to spend up to $500 with Attorney Samaha to research the matter. So voted all.
JH moved and JN 2nd to move to non-public session per RSA 91-A3II © to discuss an application to the Buffington Fund. So voted all.
