BOARD OF SELECTMEN
WORKSESSION
June 2, 2010
The meeting was called to order at 7:00 P.M., by Chairman Holland. Selectmen Stymest, Halter and Interim Administrator James Coffey were present.
The meeting opened with a general discussion of the Transfer Station bids. It was concluded that Corcoran's low bid was much closer to the others, than was originally apparent, because the removal of the MSW was not part of their proposed monthly fee. There was consensus that Corcoran Environmental represented more of a risk, because their recent past financial history and subcontracting, than could be justified. Waste Management and Recycling Services were nearly identical but the latter could represent a substantial disruption for a changeover with little, if any, savings. Selectman Halter, seconded by Selectman Holland moved to authorize the Interim Administrator to meet with Waste Management to set up a proposed agreement. [This meeting will look improving practices such as dump picking enforcement, help for senior citizens and other operational methods.] The motion passed 3-0.
The Board then reviewed the present fiscal year's operating budget, line by line. It was agreed to look at using some of the remaining building maintenance funds for repairs and improvements to the Town Hall and Davis Public Library heating systems. The Board asked the Interim Administrator to contact several potential vendors, including Roy Brother, Rymes and David Pellerin of Keene. Also discussed was the damaged sink drain at the Town Hall and the use of an on demand hot water heater instead of the furnace. The need to fix the front steps was also mentioned.
The Board approved NH DRA form MS-2, Report of Appropriations Actually Voted.
It was reported that the Town Hall stage curtains would be “flameproofed” later this month.
The July meeting schedule was discussed. A motion by Chairman Holland, seconded by Selectman Halter to cancel the July 5 meeting was approved 3-0.
At 9:00 P.M., Selectman Holland, seconded by Selectman Stymest moved to adjourn. Motion was approved 3-0.
Respectfully submitted,
