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

Mark Schultz, Director of MACC Base, attended the meeting with the contract for the member towns of Milford, Mont Vernon and Wilton.  At a meeting of the member towns last week, it was agreed that the original contract would be signed because the first contract was not dated.  This signing was considered a reaffirmation of the original contract, with no changes being made.

Maurice attended the meeting and informed the Board that he had been contacted by DES again concerning the storage of ash.  Discussion ensued as to the continuing requirements of DES and Maurice’s concern of how to respond.  No decision was made at this time but the Selectmen agreed to discuss the issue at a later time.

Pat Condon attended the meeting to introduce herself as the new Program Manager of the Wilton Main Street Association.  She presented the Board with a letter from Caryn Mayo introducing Pat and to inform then of the work they have been doing and what they have planned for activities in the future.  Pat asked the Board to let her know of any ideas or requests for the town.  The Board thanked her for coming to the meeting.

Water Commissioners Jim Tuttle, Stanley Schultz and Charlie McGettigan and Highway Agent Steve Elliott attended the meeting to discuss the purchase of an air compressor.  Mr. Tuttle informed the Board that he and Steve had found a 2004 model that was in very good shape with few hours for $6,000.  He was asking the Board if they would split the cost with the Highway Department.  After a discussion of who would use the compressor, the Board agreed that the cost would be shared by the Water, Sewer and Highway Departments. Discussion ensued as to where the compressor would be stored when not in use, which would be at the town garage.

MOTION;  Selectman Rockwood made a motion that the cost of the air compressor be divided equally between the Water, Sewer and Highway Departments, at $2,000 per Department.  Selectman Condra seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.

Charlie McGettigan then informed the Board of his concern about the new road that is being constructed to the high school.  There are two catch basins on the way to the school that are very full and need to be cleaned.  He stated that the school has no plans to have them cleaned out which if not cleaned, will cause a large problem with drainage on Whiting Hill Road.  After a discussion,  Selectman Rockwood stated that the Highway Department should clean the drains out and then bill the school for the work.  All agreed that this is what needs to be done.  Steve will let them know in advance of the work to be done.

Raymond Shea of Sanford Surveying and Engineering attended the meeting to discuss a sub-division on Isaac Frye and Badger Farm Road.  The subdivision will consist of 6 lots with only two curb cuts.  The owner is also anticipating easements to preserve some of the land.  The paving of Isaac Frye Highway was discussed and the anticipated cost of doing so.  After a discussion of the plan, the Board agreed that they would accept $2,000 per lot for off site improvement contribution to the town.

Selectman Condra informed the Board that Verizon Wireless has submitted an estimate of $8,625 for the removal of Verizon Wireless equipment if necessary.  The Planning Board is asking the Board of Selectmen to approve a cash bond for this amount.

MOTION:   Selectman Rockwood made a motion to approve a cash bond in the amount of $8,625 from Verizon Wireless which would cover the cost of removal of equipment only if necessary.  Be it also understood that the Board will not be responsible for the files containing the bonds being required by the Planning Board.  This will be the policy of the Board going forward from now on.

The motion was seconded by Selectman Donovan.  The motion was passed with all in favor.

The Board discussed a letter and invoice from Plozik and Sanderson concerning payment of the 2007 audit.  There is a question of how much was billed and how much should be paid.  The Board decided that the information should be given to Attorney Little for his advice on payment.

The Board reviewed and signed the payroll and bills for the weeks ending July 11th and 18th of July.  One Intent to Cut was signed.

The correspondence and informational material was reviewed.

The meeting was adjourned on a motion, with all in favor at 9:00 pm.

Respectfully submitted;

Peggy Arn, Recording Secretary
