Public Input -
· Tim Fountain and Don Butson of Cartographic Associates Inc. discussed the process of upgrading the Towns GIS software and the Query Manager software provide by Cartographic. They stressed the importance of a consistent format for the export data that will be used from either Briteside or BMSI. The data format will be reviewed prior to the upgrade.
· Nina Toutant reported trash accumulating on property adjacent to the Railroad Depot Station Lot. Guy Scaife acknowledge that this was an issue and that he has already been in contact with the property owners and will continue to follow –up.
· Wally Berry asks the status on the potential sale of a Town lot on Moore Street. The BOS has decided not to sell the lot at this time. Potentially it is will be needed as a turn around spot for the snow removal truck and a place to dump snow. Mr. Berry gave the Town approval to turn around on his property when plowing snow on Moore street as long as the snow was pushed off to the East side of the road, keeping his entrance clear for passage.
· Mike Stockley proposed placing a container for scrap metal at the recycling center so that materials could be placed directly in the container rather than on the ground and therefore avoids the labor of having to pick it up later to place in a container. BOS agreed with the proposal and ask Mike to work with Harvey P. on a suitable location
· John Kasprzak expressed concern regarding the roadwork on Mt. Eustis road. He feels that the road in front of his house continues to be moved toward his property boundary every time the Town does work in the area and as a result he is loosing land. Kevin Clement met with John earlier in the day and has committed to mark the width of the road before the paving start to insure this does not happen. Mr. Kasprzak also asks that the speed limit on Mt. Eustis road be lower so as to slow down commuters. The current posted speed limit is 35 MPH. 25 or 30 MPH was discussed. To change the speed limit a public hearing is required. BOS committed to review
this request as well as look at other areas In Lisbon so that if a Public Hearing was call it would include multiple area that need review.
Chief Tavernier presented the Police Department Report
· Lilac Festival coverage was routine with the exception of several disturbances Sunday evening.
