Alexandria Board of Selectmen

Meeting, January 25, 2007

 

 

Work Session:

            Dennis asked about the color for the sign hardware.  Peg and Christie both thought polished
            brass would look good.

            Barbara Emery brought Britta Brown in to meet the selectmen.  Peg asked if the background
            check had been completed; it has.  Peg asked how many hours Britta will be working; right now it
            is about ten.  There is a possibility of more after her training is complete.

            Bill Hall asked how much longer it will be before the town clerk has a window on her office.  There
            is a huge liability having it open.  Christie said that every week she is told next week. 

            The selectmen had to sign a declaration stating the number of full time officers the town has.
