1) Maurice attended the meeting to inform the Board of the final price that he had for the new bailer.  The Board agreed that it was a good price.

2) Dawn Tuomala of Monadnock Survey attended the meeting.  Ms. Tuomala presented the Board with two proposed subdivision applications. After review by the Board, it was agreed that there would not be any off-site improvements necessary therefore no inpact donation necessary.  Barry Greene’s common driveway name of Applewood Drive was acceptable to the Board.

3) Tax Collector Jane Farrell attended the Board to discuss several issues.  She presented the Board with the 2006 Tax Warrant for signatures.  She informed the Board that the new program of doing the State portion of the registration is going well.  It does require more time by staff.  The majority of residents are happy to have this service.  Out of 661 registrations done in November, 448 people did the state portion at the town office.  The town makes $2.50 for each state registration completed.  Jane also asked if the Board would approve a new checking account to be opened at TD Bank north.  The reason being that the state works directly with them and using their services would eliminate a couple of steps that have to be done with Ocean at the present.  The Board approved the request.
