  Recording Secretary Peggy Arn

1) The bills and payroll for the week ending April 23, 2005 were reviewed and approved.
2) The correspondence and informational material was reviewed.
3) The status of the project at Carnival Hill was discussed.  The Board reviewed a letter from Dawn Tuomala stating that she believes that the site is sufficiently dry to start the site work again.  A letter will be written to Mr. Wheeler telling him to start the work immediately and to contact the Selectmen’s office with his plans to do the work.
4) The Board signed a Current Use application and one Intent to Excavate.
5) Selectman Donovan made a motion to approve Catherine Bean’s sign application for Beanie’s Country Store on Main Street.  Selectman MacFarland seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
6) Members of the Temple Board of Selectmen attended the meeting to discuss  their agreement with MACC Base for their ambulance dispatching.  Presently their 911 calls go to Concord.  Concord directs them to MACC Base and then they are directed to KMA, then to the WLT Ambulance.  Ms. Fisk informed the Board that as of May 1, 2005 the agreement of $50 per call will expire.  The amount MACC Base is telling Temple is much more than they have budgeted.  Ms. Fisk asked if the Board would approve Temple using KMA because the Board has to give their permission to 911.  Discussion ensued as to the cost of both services.  Mr. Donovan stated that he had discussed MACC Base services with both the Fire and Police Departments and they both are very happy with MACC Base.  He is also concerned about the ability of the department to communicate with each when responding to an emergency.  He also stated that he did not feel that the Board could make a decision until there was a full Board.  Mr. MacFarland stated that he felt that the Board could write a letter telling MACC Base that the Board would recommend that the charges for services for Temple be kept to the per call basis.  He would also suggest that all parties involved should have a meeting to discuss this issue.  Selectman Donovan will contact Mark Schultz and Stanley Schultz tomorrow to discuss the issue.
7) The Board approved the plans as presented for the installation of the exterior ramp rails at the Police Station.
8) The meeting was adjourned on a motion at 8:25 pm.

Respectfully submitted;
 
Peggy Arn, Recording Secretary
