PLACE: Town Office
PRESENT: Selectmen Daniel Donovan, III, William Condra and Richard  Rockwood and Recording Secretary Peggy Arn

Dawn Tuomala attended the meeting and started by giving the Board on an update on the PSNH light replacement project.  She and Chief Hautanen have completed an inspection of all the lights replaced, the ones that were removed and the installation of new lights as agreed to with PSNH.  She has been in contact with PSNH and was informed that the project could come in at a very substantially lower cost than estimated.  She will inform the Board of the final price when they submit the final contact.  Chairman Donovan thanked Dawn for all the work she has put in on this job and how the Town appreciates the savings that will be reflected in the street lights electric bill.

Ms. Tuomala then addressed the issue the Milford/Wilton/Lyndeborough town line questioned in a letter that the Board received from Raine Carson who is the Town Lands Researcher in Milford.  Ms. Carson stated that she is concerned that the town monument could have been moved years ago.  She relayed what she thought could have happened and when it was moved.  Ms. Carson stated that she thought a survey should be done to establish the correct location.  Dawn informed the Board of surveys that she had used as references when she had worked on the Carnival Hill project.  When she was working on the plans, she had presented the plans, which reflected where the town monument was located, to the Planning Boards of all three towns.  No board had any problem with the location. Dawn is working on a letter that will respond to the questions raised by Ms. Carson.  When the Board receives this letter, they will respond to Ms. Carson’s letter.

The next issue discussed was the bridgework that will be done in the future.  What bridges that need to be repaired and applications for this work will be made soon because it will be 2010 before Wilton will be given state assistance.

The Board received a letter from Betsy Castro asking if one of the Selectmen would participate in a “Dunking Booth”.  Selectman Condra volunteered to do so.

The Board discussed the work being done at 30 Forest Road.  Ms. Arn informed the Board that the Building Inspector has visited the property and has not seen any electrical or plumbing work being done that would require permits.  The Board asked that a letter be sent to Colby Street Realty stating that the Board has reviewed the plan they had submitted for renovating this property.  The Board is not interested in having the building repaired in three phases.  They believe that the entire building should be made livable at one time.

The Board reviewed and signed a “Notice of Decision” from the appeal of Devin McEntee as a result of his suspension from the ambulance staff.

The Board signed an application submitted by the Woolery to put up a new sign at their place of business on Route 101.

Chairman Donovan signed a purchase order for a new tractor to be purchased by the Cemetery Department.

The bills and payroll for the week ending May 9, 2009, reviewed and approved.

The meeting was adjourned on a motion, at 8:15 pm, with all in favor.

Respectfully submitted;

Peggy Arn, Recording Secretary
