Selectmen’s Meeting Minutes
Meeting Date: January 7, 2009
Selectmen Present: John Northrop (JN) Ruth Robar (RAR), Duncan McKee (DM)
Town Administrator: Regan Pride (RP)
Administrative Assistant: Barbara Menchin
JN opened the meeting at 2:00 PM
Final bills and manifests for 2008 were reviewed and approved.
RP informed the board that the insulation work on the town hall is nearly complete. However, the contractor encountered some old-style knob-and-tube wiring above the hallway and does not advise using foam insulation in that area. They recommend blown- in cellulose, which is code-compliant. JN moved to authorize using the cellulose. All voted in favor. RP advised that this wiring be inspected and addressed at a future time.
RP presented a draft survey from the Lisbon Main Street director regarding interest in reviving the Lilac Festival.
RP proposed setting a meeting with boards from Lyman and Landaff on January 26 to review and discuss transfer station, fire protection, and EMS agreements.
