It was confirmed the Public Hearing for the Speed Grant on Rte 101 is scheduled for June 5, 2006. The timeframe for this grant is 6/1/06 – 9/4/06.

Due to the fact that the part-time officer last hired has been too busy in his other employment to work for Wilton; Chief Hautanen requested permission to research replacing this officer, noting that he also has a separate opening for a part-time officer. The Board authorized the Chief to speak to possible candidates.

Chief Hautanen also requested permission to research alternatives to the current procedure of using Exxon Mobile for gasoline. He noted several towns have their own tanks and that while Mt. Vernon has a State Pump it would not be cost effective for the cruisers and SUV specifically to travel there. The Board thanked the Chief for offering to conduct more research on this subject.

In conclusion, Chief Hautanen asked the Board their input on forming a payscale for town employees. The Board asked the Chief to meet with Budget Committee Chairman, Cary Hughes. They also noted their desire to keep pay scales below 10. Chief Hautanen agreed.

There were no further discussions from Chief Hautanen.

7.) Ms. Jane Farrell and Charles McGettigan, Jr., appeared before the Board with a Lot Line Adjustment for Isaac Frye Highway. Ms. Farrell noted the plans have been before the Board for some time, and Mr. McGettigan has paid Robert Todd Engineering $1500.00 for Mylar’s and surveying. The Board agreed to refund the money to Mr. McGettigan and have the Town continue the process to submit a Lot Line Agreement to the Planning Board’s June 19, 2006 meeting.

8.) Mr. Bill Davidson, Meridian Engineering and John E. Kukulka, Jr., appeared before the Board to discuss the impact fees for their subdivision of Map F-030, 103 Intervale Road.

He concluded that prior minutes of meetings have indicated a $1500.00 impact fee for the subdivision next door, which were three lots. Mr. Greene explained that $1500.00 is for a lot, and the fee could possibly be more or less, depending on the amount of impact the additional lot will have.
