1) Selectman Greene gave the Board copies of budgets he helped prepare
the Budget Committee and they were reviewed with no changes being made.
2) Building Inspector William Condra attended the meeting to report
to the Board on an appeal of a building permit application and to ask their
opinion. After discussing the issue, Chairman Greene made the following
motion: The Board would support the issuance of the building
permit as a result of review by the Planning Board, the Conservation Commission
and the plot plan soil scientist’s review. They were confident that
the building of the storage shed would not infringe on the wetland setbacks.
Selectman Donovan seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
3) The Board discussed the issue of semi-annual collection of taxes
in accordance with RSA 76:15-a, which states that the governing body has

2005. Selectman Donovan seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
4) Town Assessor Richard Rockwood attended the meeting. He informed
the Board of a plan of what he thought his job would entail next year and
his salary. After a discussion, Chairman Greene asked Mr. Rockwood
if he would put his proposal in writing for the Board’s review. He
stated that he would do so.
