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

Tom Herlihy attended the meeting to discuss a meeting he and Fire Chief Ray Dick had with the new FEMA representative concerning the close of all projects from the ice storm last year.  Tom presented a Project Completion and Certification of the ice storm form to be signed stating that the Town has received the funds from FEMA.  Once the certification is completed, the town should receive $9,500.00 from Homeland Security and Emergency Management.

Tom then asked that some of the money received by the town could be used for the repairs on the emergency generator at the elementary school.   He is concerned that with the winter season approaching, the generator should be in working order.

Motion:  Selectman Rockwood made a motion that the generator work is done now and that the money received from Homeland Security can be used to pay for the work.  Selectman Condra seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.

Richard Phelm and Maurice attended the meeting to discuss the dismantling of the incinerator stack.  He informed the Board that he had looked into requirements from DES.  He stated that DES solid waste department and air resources department wants a letter from the town stating that the town will be dismantling the stack.  He stated that he has the authority to state that there is no asbestos in the stack.  Richard will do the prep work and then a crane operator will come in and take it down.  The stack material will be disposed off and will be sold as scrap metal.    Rich is looking into the salvage value of the metal.

His proposal for the work is $9,500 to $13,500 depending on salvage return.  If the town provides some equipment that he can use, the cost could be reduced.  Quote includes repairing roof of building.  He would buy any stack that was purchased for the stack maintenance.  He would suggest that the electrical wiring be left intact in the event that a trash compactor is installed.  Chairman Donovan stated that he was not prepared to vote on the quote at this time.

Chairman Donovan stated that he is concerned about meeting all DES requirements.  He would like to have Mr. Phelm give a more detailed description of the work he is proposing or proposed plan to submit to DES for their approval.

The next item to be discussed is the shape of the roof on the Police Station.  Chief Hautenan feels that there is a lack of ventilation on the roof.  Mr. Condra stated that the roof cavity should be inspected and that if there is a lack of venting, some should be put in.  Persons submitting a quote should be asked to look in the attic to see what or if any venting work has been done.

Mr. McGraft for approval of a registration fee returned was denied by the Board.  The bills and payroll for the week ending December 28, 2009, were reviewed and approved.  The informational information was reviewed.

The bills and payroll from the week ending December 28, 2009 were reviewed and approved.

The meeting was adjourned on a motion at 8:10 pm, with all in favor.
 

Respectfully submitted;

Peggy Arn, Recording Secretary
