Bills, minutes, and manifest approved for the week.
Public Input – Dalia Kazenas, resident at 195 Savageville Street, was present to discuss concerns with her Water and Sewer bill. She felt that the daily usage was not right for a family of five. Based on usage by their own families, the BOS felt the usage was in line. The flow meter was recently checked and it was working properly. Mrs. Kazenas indicated she had not received bills in the past and questioned if her recent payment (2/25/06) was a duplication. G. Scaife committed to investigate and call her with an update tomorrow, Tuesday 2/21/06.
Bill Callender reviewed with the BOS a “Lisbon Area Historical Society Resource Survey” that the society was planning to distribute to residents of Lisbon, Lyman, and Landaff. There was general discussion about the survey with the BOS agreeing that it was a good idea to get community input via the survey.
Harry Paquin presented the Recycling Monthly Report:
· Normal activity during the past month.
· Recent storm resulted in wind damage to the roof on the old part of the recycling building. The roof is leaking in two places. HP will have a contractor inspect the roof to determine what action should be taken.
