Place:  Town Office
Present: Selectmen Daniel Donovan, III, Chair, and David Glinea and Recording Secretary Peggy Arn

1) Steve Elliott attended the meeting and a discussion ensued as to the V and VI Class Roads that are maintained by the Highway Department.  It was noted that letters have been sent out to the residents on private roads that the town will no longer be plowing or maintaining.  Steve and the Board reviewed a list of Roads that Steve had questions on and the Board confirmed the list was complete.   Steve also reported on his progress on the work he is doing on Isaac Frye Hwy.  He informed the Board that is working with Milford and that they will be paving the Milford part of Isaac Frye that meets with the Wilton section.

2) Maurice Guay informed the Board of what he would like to present to the Budget Committee for next year.  He would like to revamp the incinerator to bring it up to DES specifications.  It has been patched so many times that he feels it is time to re-work the patches with new material.  He has looked into replacing the incinerator but is cost prohibitive at approximately $2,000,000.  The Board supported his idea and asked him what other projects he needs to do.  They suggested that he look into the cost of the proposed revamping of the incinerator and other projects needed to keep the Recycling Center in good repair.

3) Maurice gave the Board the information he had gathered on the disposal of TV’s and computers.  DES has no requirements at this time but Maurice is getting quotes on the price of having these articles taken away by agencies that do this kind of collection.  He will keep the board informed of his findings.

4) The Board signed one Veteran’s Exemption, one Intent to Cut Wood and Fuller heating oil contract.

5) The bills and payroll for the week ending October 1, 2005 were reviewed and approved.  The correspondence and informational material was reviewed.

6) The Board discussed the boiler work proposal from Bradgon.  It was also brought to their attention that Dennis Markaverich has stated that more repairs are needed on the heating system going to the Building Inspector’s office.  The Board decided that this work should be done all at the same time and that another estimate should be requested from CD Boiler Works.  Dennis will be contacted to let the Board know what valves need to be replaced or repaired.

7) The Police Department had asked if employee’s spouses would be able to get the flue shots.  The Insurance Company will cover spouses that are under the health insurance program.

8) Ms. Arn relayed a request from Health Office Rise Smyth-Freed to have internet service installed on the computer in the Building Inspectors office.  The Board stated that they would like her to get a quote on the cost of the installation and the monthly fee.  There is no provision for this service in the budget for this year so Rise would have to include this cost in next year’s proposed budget.

9) After a discussion, Chairman Donovan made a motion to have Chief Hautanen be a member of the Sidewalk Committee.  Selectman Glines seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.

10) A letter was sent to the Wilton Resident who’s property is net to the South Yard Cemetery, asking him to stabilize the wall on his property.  He came into the office on Monday and stated that he had no intention of responding to the letter or planting grass seed on the slope.  He requested that the Board be informed of his response.  Mr. Glines is going to look further into the matter.

11) Mr. Glines asked that the Emergency Service Committee meeting be set up for October 20 and letters sent to committee members.

Chairman Donovan made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 9:15, with all in favor.

Respectfully submitted;

Peggy Arn, Recording Secretary
