1) The bills and payroll for the week ending February 7, 2004 were reviewed and approved.
2) The correspondence and informational material were reviewed.
3) The minutes from the last week’s meeting were signed.
4) Brian Bart of Marden Road attended the meeting and was joined by Richard Greeley.
Mr. Bart presented the Board with a petition signed by 25 people to present a Warrant Article to preserve Marden Road and prevent its widening.  The Warrant Article would be a vote to designate Marden Road as a Scenic Road under RSA 231:158.  He asked the Board if they would consider the Warrant Article and asked for permission for it to be considered this year even thought he is submitting it late.  After a discussion of the issue, Selectman Greene stated that the Board would review the issue with the Road Agent and look into the necessity from a safety standpoint of widening the road.  It was agreed that it is not an issue that has to be on the Warrant this year because there are no plans to widen Marden Road this year.
5) Mr. Bart expressed his concern for cars that speed past his home on Marden Road.  Discuss ensued as to what could be done to slow people down.  It was suggested that speed limit signs could be put up and that the speed limit be reduced.  The idea of putting in speed bumps was also discussed.  No decisions were made at this time.
6) Selectman Greene also suggested that Police Chief Hautanen be contacted and that the area be monitored for speeders.
7) A request from Maurice Guay to make an advance payment to Able Steel for the construction of the roof over the dumpsters at the Recycling Center was discussed.  Selectman Greene and MacFarland agreed that a payment could be made as he has already started the work.
8) The Board discussed Mrs. Ducharme’s request for direction on the construction of a fire pond on Ring Road as a requirement of their proposed subdivision.  Ms. Arn reported that she had spoken to Fire Chief Dick and he stated that the grant he had applied for to help pay for the work had been denied.  The Board requested that this denial be stated in a letter from Ray.
9) A letter from David McBee, Clerk of the Eastview Condominium Association was reviewed.  The letter stated that the meeting had taken place at the condos with Selectman MacFarland, the Police Chief, Fire Chief and Ambulance Chief in regard to the requested new numbering.  It was agreed that the present unit numbering system should be changed.  After a discussion, Selectman Greene made the following motion:
The numbering system be changed to a three-digit system.  The first building on the right as you enter Eastview, which would be the north side, would be numbered 100.  Each unit will be assigned a address consisting of the building number and unit number.  The address will be 101, 102, 103, etc.  The 5 buildings will be numbered 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 and each unit in these buildings will be numbered 1 through 9.  (sketch of buildings and numbers attached)
Selectman MacFarland seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.
10) The Board reviewed a letter from Mr. & Mrs. Ladouceur about ice forming near and onto their driveway.  The Road Agent will be contacted to get his input on the issue.
The meeting was adjourned on a motion at 8:35.
