1. Maurice Guay informed the Board that the present diesel tank is old and needs to be replaced and he can get one from Drapers at cost.  The Board agreed that he should get it.

2. Steve Elliott then gave the Board two quotes for fencing and the construction of a retaining wall for the basketball court.  After all quotes were reviewed, the following motion was made:
MOTION:  Selectman Condra made a motion to award the bid for the construction of the basketball court at Carnival Hill Athletic Field to Morello Construction, Inc. of Peterborough, NH.  The construction will include the court, retaining wall and 10’ fence at a cost of $69,440.  Selectman Donovan seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.

3. The next item of discussion was the drainage problems on Isaac Frye Highway that the Town of Milford has asked to be addressed.  After discussing possible solutions, it was agreed that approximately 300 feet of the south side swale would be paved.  It was thought that the paving would alleviate the erosion of the gravel or least cut down on the gravel washing off the road.  Other solutions discussed was the application of calcium on the road and additional culverts.  Another solution would be to have a warrant article for paving the road.

4. Water Commissioners Stanley Schultz, Jim Tuttle and Charlie McGettigan attended the meeting to discuss the how the alarm system for the sewer pumps are handled.  After a discussion, it was agreed that the alarm company will be contacted to see who is on the rotation list and in what order to answer calls.  The issue will be discussed further when this information is received.

5. Tenants of the apartment building at 30 Forest Road attended the meeting to discuss the Order to Vacate issued by the Health Officer.  The Health Officer and the Building Inspector had conducted an inspection of three rental units and found numerous violations.  The landlord had been given a report of issues that had to be taken care off and had failed to do so.  Based on the continued lack of attention by the landlord and not responding to a meeting requested by the Health Officer, the Health Officer issued orders to vacate the three apartments.  The residents informed the Board that the 30 days they had been given was not adequate time to find new apartments.  They asked the Board if they would extend the 30 days.  After discussion, the Board denied the request because of the dangerous condition of the apartments.  They did agree to review the issue at their next meeting and to see if the landlord had made any attempt to make the necessary repairs to make the units safe for the tenants.

6. At 8:15 Chairman Rockwood adjourned the regular meeting and called a non public  session per RSA 91-a:3,II(e).

7. At 8:35 Chairman Rockwood called the regular meeting of the Board to order.

8. The Board reviewed and approved two elderly exemption applications and one Veterans application.

9. The payroll and bills for the week ending October 4, 2008 were reviewed and approved.

The meeting was adjourned at 9:35 on a motion with all in favor.

Peggy Arn, Recording Secretary
