Time: 7:00pm
Place: Town Office
Present: Selectmen Richard Rockwood, Daniel Donovan, III and William
Condra and Recording Secretary Peggy Arn
1) Maurice presented his proposed increases for his employees and the Board approved them. Then he asked the Board if they would approve a request to purchase material with another town for material to repair the incinerator. He asked because he has not heard from DES if the town is going to be given approval to operate the incinerator until 2010. The Board recommended that he go ahead with the purchase because they feel that they will be approved from the discussion with the DES representative last fall.
2) Chief Hautanen attended the meeting to discuss raises for 2008. He presented his proposal for his officers and secretary.
Chairman Rockwood called a non-public session per RSA 91-A:3,II(a) at 7:20 and then the regular Selectmen’s meeting was called back to order at 7:35.
3) Richard Niles from Comprehensive Environmental attended the meeting to discuss the annual Ground Water Sampling Report for the Town of Wilton Landfill. The Board reviewed the report with Rich and he explained that there has been no significant change in the test results since the last round of testings. In fact, the water tests show that the water tests are slightly better than last time. He stated that the chloride count has gone down. Mr. Niles also noted that the current groundwater management permit expires November 13, 2008 and must be renewed 90 days in advance. The Board agreed that CEI should be authorized to complete the permit request. Chairman Rockwood signed a letter of agreement for groundwater monitoring, which would include two rounds of testing, and the completion of the groundwater permit. It is Mr. Niles opinion that if the testing results continue to be acceptable, there will not be any correctional action needed to cap or modify the landfill.
4) Next on the agenda was Dawn Tuomala, Steve Desmarais and Jamin Warren concerning the proposed re-aligning Date Street where it intersects with NH 31. They gave the Board a copy of the proposed changes and the cost of the project. The plans for the work was discussed and the cost. Dawn asked the Board if the voluntary contribution of impact fees that were going to be given to the town could be used for the road work. After the discussion, Selectman Donovan made the following motion:
Motion: The voluntary contribution of $l,500 for 29 lots
for a total of $43,500 for the Perham Woods subdivision, can be applied
to the cost of the work
to be done at the intersection of Dale Street and Forest Road. The
excess of the impact fee to be given to the town.
The motion was seconded by Selectman Condra, which passed by a unanimous
vote.
The Board agreed that the work should be done by a private contractor
and not done by the Town Highway Department.
5) Neil Faiman sent a letter to the Board asking to be re-appointed to the ZBA.
Motion: Selectman Richard Rockwood made a motion that Neil Faiman is appointed to the ZBA for a three-year term. Selectman Donovan seconded the motion, which passed with all in favor.
