Administration. He suggested spending the $20,000 needed out
of the highway department equipment
purchase line. If it gets down to the end of the year and it
looks like the town will run over the bottom
line, a letter can be sent to
NHDRA explaining the need for exceeding that amount. In this way, the
town will not have to pay the
expenses connected with a special town meeting.
The selectmen agreed
that this was the best way to
proceed.
Rights of Way and Other Road Issues: All interested parties were invited to submit
questions
regarding road issues to Christie by next Tuesday. They will be forwarded to town counsel for review
and response.
was inevitable. The crack is located where the concrete ends and the gravel
begins. The concrete approach slab was
added in order to move the pavement cracking away from the elastomeric

Berry Road-Gordon Washout:
Mrs. Gordon had asked if the town was responsible for repairing the
washout area at the

therefore, it is the owner’s responsibility.

Public Input:
Cindy asked if the selectmen would be
willing to meet with the planning board on June 21 to go over
the results of all the
questions submitted to town counsel. Bob
and Peg said they are willing to do so.
Stump Dump: Boake Morrison
would like approval to have a stump dump on his property. In return,
he would allow the town to deposit stumps there for free. Christie was asked to look into the
requirements for such a facility.
Maggie LaBerge: Members of
the planning board are concerned that such a long time has gone by
since they submitted draft policies to the selectmen and they have heard
nothing. Some feel as though
they have expended a lot of time for nothing,
The selectmen replied that they have read them and are
taking them into consideration. All
three selectmen stated, in some way or another, that there are a lot
of issues that the selectmen are working on at this time. The ordinances have not been forgotten, but
they are not the top priority at this time as they will be taken to the people
for a vote at town meeting,
not passed by the selectmen prior to that.
There will be a public hearing held in mid-July to alter the
building permit ordinance. Maggie asked that copies of the ordinances be given
to planning board members prior to town meeting. This will be done.
Maggie LaBerge: Two properties in town have apparently given
themselves 911 numbers, and the
selectmen need to do something
about it. They are

interests of the town at heart and are
trying to work with the
various committees.

3-0.
