if they had decided on a Program Manager for the Sidewalk Project.
They were informed that they had not and that no one had approached them
or the Budget Committee for the funds for a Project Manager. Mr.
Wagner stated that the Planning and Engineering work has to be completed
by next October. The Main Street Association will return to Selectmen’s
meeting on April 18 and the issue will be discussed further.
5) Mary Jackson, Program Coordinator of the Host Homes Program in Milford
attended the meeting. She gave the Board a quick overview of the
program. It is a program providing intervention and respite for adolescents.
The program has been supported by Milford, Amherst and the Hillsborough
County 6% Incentive Fund. Carol Holden of the Board of Commissioners
from Hillsborough County attended the meeting in support of the Program.
Debbie Ducharme was present to give her support of the program. Chairman
Greene suggested that Ms. Jackson come back to the Board next October so
that the program can be presented to the Budget Committee.

name for a proposed subdivision. The Board approved the name “Olympic
Drive”.
7) David McBee of Eastview Condo Association attended the meeting.
He informed the Board that the Association would like to change the numbering
system that was agreed upon in February of 2004. He stated that that
numbering system had not actually been initiated. The agreed upon
system was a three digit system and he proposed that a two digit system
be used. Fire Chief Ray Dick stated that he would like to see the
agreed three system be utilized and not changed. Selectman Donovan
and MacFarland stated that they could not understand a need to change the
approved numbering system. After a discussion, the Board informed
Mr. McBee that they would not approve a two digit system and that the one
they had approved last year should be put in place. All town Departments
will be advised of this decision.
8) Fire Chief Ray Dick informed the Board that the when the ladder
truck was tested, it was discovered that the ladder needs 16 rollers replaced.
