Stacey Campbell entered the meeting at 6:00 pm.  Mrs. Campbell was looking for permission from the Board to use the Town Hall parking lot for a Methodist Church Yard sale on May 5th & 6th.  She explained that the church was hoping that if they had more “public exposure” that they would do better on their fundraiser.  Selectman Stohl stated that he had no problem with the group using the parking lot but that he would rather they use the hall itself.  After discussion, the Board voted to let the group use the hall with the understanding that the property must be cleaned and returned to its present condition when done.  The Board discussed having a policy and application to cover requests like this.  Marcia will see if we have anything and, if not, draft something for the Board to review.  Ms. Campbell left the meeting at 6:30 pm.

Marcia informed the Board that she had sent the Town Report to Roxanne Herres to be included on the Town’s website.

Marcia informed the Board that she had contact George Sansoucy’s office regarding assessing the internet towers in Town owned by Netafy.

An e-mail was received from Nancy Gray (GNWCA) regarding the Motorcycle Blessing that they are planning to hold on June 25th.  The event is being hosted by the Manchester Motorcycle Club and will be held at the Arts Center.  Mrs. Gray was looking for any instructions or things that the Town would like to see.  The Board had two issues:

  1.  Police present at both the north and south ends.
  2. Parking on the side where the Arts center is only.  No using the Brunault lot across the road.

Marcia will look to see what we have for an event policy and/or application.

The Board discussed a request from the Town of Stewartstown to hire someone to haul in some gravel at the transfer station.  Marcia will call Stewartstown and tell them that is okay with us.

Marcia informed the Board that the Tax Collector would be executing tax liens for the 2022 taxes on Monday.  Also, the tax liens for the 2020 taxes are due for tax deeding on that day also.  At the present time, there are five properties eligible for tax deeding.  Marcia gave the Board members a list of those properties.  At the present time, there is only around $46,000.00 total outstanding in property taxes.

Planning Board Chairman Scott DeBlois left a message for the Board regarding the St. Pierre situation.  He said that he had spoken to Mrs. St. Pierre and that she would be removing the mobile home from her property.
