Members Present: Peg Reilly, Cindy Williams and Don Gangemi

The work session came to order at 5:00 p.m. Jeff Cantara, Road Agent, met with the selectmen on several items. It was confirmed later in the meeting that he does have the forms to be filled out and submitted to FEMA for the flood reimbursement. The road agent and selectmen reviewed the requests for qualifications that were sent out to various engineering firms. The project in question is the Washburn Bridge over Patten Brook. It was determined that personnel from three of the four firms submitting proposals will be interviewed. Christie was asked to set up a date in June and ask the companies for a rough estimate and a transportation plan. She is to let them know the town is leaning toward pre-cast, pre-stressed. They will also be invited to meet with the road agent before the 21^st if they wish.

Jeff was asked about Washburn Road as Christie has received several complaints about it. He said that they crew will be there on Monday to install stone dust and to add dust control.

Jeff asked for authorization to contact 911 regarding Healy Road. They do not appear to have the entire road plotted on the dispatch maps provided to the town.

Jeff suggested that the town institute a cost sharing program on the replacement of culverts that accept water from the ditches but that may belong to a private property owner. The selectmen agreed to this and Jeff was asked to draft a policy for review by the board.

The last item for the work session was an update of the driveway permit process. Jeff is concerned that the town does not have any enforcement mechanism except for the final inspection. He downloaded the state’s requirements for a driveway connection and presented the board with a copy. The selectmen requested that Jeff amend the present process and submit it for review. Christie was asked to contact the Local Government Center for an opinion on policies and ordinances; what can the selectmen adopt, what has to be adopted by the legislative body, can policies contain fines and are the fines enforceable by liens on property.
