1) The bills and payroll for the week ending January 6, 2007 were reviewed and approved.

2) The correspondence and informational material was reviewed.

3) Maurice attended the meeting to discuss Recycling Center issues.  He informed the board that there is some question about the people going through material that could still be useful.  Maurice has a person that cleans up the area when it overflows and gets in the way of  people trying to get through.  His question was, does he have the authority to remove items.  The Board assured him that this was an issue that he certainly could use his judgement and that they did not have an issue with his decisions in this area.

4) The owners of the Melting Pot Restaurant informed the Board that they have a problem with people parking in front of their driveway on Main Street and cannot leave at the end of the day.  They asked if they supplied the Police Department with a list of their employees cars, could the Department then ticket people parking in this no parking area.  The Board approved the request and the list of vehicles will be passed on to the Police Department.

5) The Board discussed Ambulance related issues.  Mr. Rockwood would like the bills to reviewed by the BOS and to find out what type of heating there is at the ambulance bay.  Peggy informed the Board that the first payroll of  2007 included the Ambulance Employees and the addition went fine.

6) The Board signed one Intent to Cut and one was not signed due to missing information.

7) They signed two abatement requests and the NRPC contract for CIP work for the Planning Board.

8) Peggy informed the Board that PSNH had called and informed the town that they had replaced a street light at the corner of Pleasant and Edwards Street.  It was then discovered that the pole which was installed in 1938 has never been charged to the Town.  In order to keep this pole in use, the town will pay an electric bill of approximately $10 a month and 6 months of past electrical service.  The Board discussed the request and it was decided that PSNH would be asked if they had a license for the pole and if so, then they would pay the monthly bill.

9) Charles McGettigan attended the meeting.  He stated that he wanted to inform the Board of areas that were of concern to him.  He commented on the Water Department, the Library drainage project, the Cemetery Trustees and the purchase of town vehicles.  These areas were discussed in depth.

The meeting was adjourned on a motion at 8:40, with all in favor.

Respectfully submitted;

Peggy Arn, Recording Secretary
