Meeting began at 6:00 pm. Present were Selectmen Cloutier, Stohl and Campbell. Members of the public present: Town Treasurer, Carrie Klebe, and Beth Gourdreau.
Carrie Klebe explained to the Board that she would like Sophie Goudreau to be appointed Deputy Treasurer. Town Clerk Marcia Parkhurst administered the Oath of Office to Mrs. Goudreau. Marcia will prepare the paperwork for the Board’s signature at the next meeting. Mrs. Klebe also asked permission to purchase a laptop for use by the Treasurer. At the present time, Mrs. Klebe keeps the books on her own personal computer but that would create a problem if the Deputy had to step in and take over. The Board voted to have Mrs. Klebe purchase a laptop that would fit her needs. Mrs. Klebe and Mrs. Goudreau left the meeting at 6:15 pm.
Mail was reviewed.
Checks and manifests were reviewed and signed.
On a motion made by Selectman Campbell and seconded by Selectman Stohl the Board approved the minutes of the April 26th meeting.
The Board signed letters to the four utility companies requesting information for assessor George Sansoucy to update their values.
Marcia informed the Board that she had spoken to Rebecca in Sansoucy’s office regarding assessing of the new internet towers and an update of the existing cell tower. They requested information, which Marcia has already provided. Sansoucy’s office will be getting back to us with a contract and price for performing that extra work for the Town.
Marcia informed the Board that at the next meeting the Tax Warrant for the lst installment of the 2023 property taxes would be ready for signature. At the present time, the Town has only about $40,000 in outstanding taxes.
Selectman Campbell brought up the subject of the Town’s Emergency Management Plan, which needs to be updated according to the State. After much discussion, the Board decided to not take any further action at this time.
The Board discussed a question from a resident on Marshall Hill regarding a culvert. Selectman Cloutier will get in touch with the homeowner.
Meeting adjourned at 7:32 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Marcia Parkhurst, Secretary
Board of Selectmen
