1) Acting Chairman Daniel Donovan called the regular meeting to order than adjourned to a Non-Public session per RSA 91-A:3,II(a), Personnel Matters.
2) The Regular meeting was called to order at 7:20 PM.
3) The Board reviewed a letter to Spencer Brookes and Lynne Draper from Attorney Silas Little in regard to the proposed Conservation Easement Deed to the Town from the McGettigan family. Selectman Rockwood asked what warrant article had given the Conservation Commission the authority to use the land acquisition fund for any other purpose. There were other issues raised that were not answered so the Board asked that the Conservation Commissioners be invited to attend the next Selectmen’s meeting to discuss their concerns.
4) The Board reviewed a request from the Conservation Commission to appoint two members of the Conservation Commission for another term.
MOTION: Selectman Donovan made a motion to appoint Lynne Draper and Bart Hunter as members to the Conservation Commission. Selectman Rockwood seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
5) Selectman Donovan stated that Irving Oil had refused to accept the bid award for providing diesel fuel to the Town of Wilton for the coming year. The issue was discussed and the Board agreed that the Town Attorney would be asked to write a letter to Irving to preserve the town’s rights if recourse is deemed necessary.
The Board then reviewed the bid that had been submitted from Draper Energy Company and made the decision to ask them to provide the diesel fuel for the coming year. The price of the diesel will be based on a RACK price which if it were to increase more that 10 cents their pricing will follow “cent for cent”. The same would be applicable if the price were to drop.
6) The Board reviewed a proposal from Innovative Security Solutions on a wireless panic alarm system for the town office. It was suggested that more information be obtained before approving the purchase of the system.
7) The bills and payroll for the week ending November 2, 2007 were reviewed and approved. The correspondence and informational material was reviewed.
The meeting was adjourned on a motion at 8:20, with all in favor.
Respectfully Submitted;
Peggy Arn, Recording Secretary
