  And Recording Secretary Peggy Arn
1) Road Agent Steve Elliott attended the meeting to inform the Board that one of the sanders that the Highway Department has used for 15 to 20 years has fallen apart.  The entire bottom section has disintegrated.  Steve explained that he did not feel it would be cost effective to repair the sander and estimates that a new one would cost around $8,000.  When the Board asked if he could operate with one less sander, he stated that he could split the plow routes but he feels that he does need to replace the old one.  The Board agreed that Selectman Greene and Steve would ask the Budget Committee’s opinion the next meeting, which would be the next day.
2) Maurice Guay gave the Board his schedule of fees for the Recycling Center.  The fees were discussed and Maurice explained why he feels some items should be increased.  Mr. Greene stated that a meeting will be set up with the member towns to discuss this and other Recycling issues.
3) Chief Hautanen attended the meeting.  He informed the Board that he had gotten two quotes for the impound fencing.  A discussion ensued as to his idea of how to give an employee compensation for not using sick time.  No decision was made at this time.
4) At 7:30 Chairman Greene closed the regular meeting on a motion and a Non-Public Session was called per RSA 91-A:3,II(a).
5) The regular meeting was called to order at 7:45.
6) The Board reviewed a complaint received from a concerned resident about the living conditions of a house located next to hers on Pleasant Street.  The Board asked that the Building Inspector look into the complaint.
