Meeting began at 6:00 pm. Present were Selectmen Cloutier, Stohl and Campbell.
Mail was reviewed.
Checks and manifests were signed.
Road Agent Dominic Westover entered the meeting to discuss the following:
1. Gave Marcia a list of road signs to order
2. Cutting brush along Town roads. Dominic said he had spoken with Asplundh and then gave him the following quotes for work:
Daily – $1,400.23
Hourly – $158.67
The Board discussed where to have them cut. It was decided to do three weeks’ worth and see where we stand.
3. A letter was received from DOT regarding signs missing on the south end of the bridge on Bungy Road. They are requesting that we correct this and send them pictures showing that it has been done. Dominic will look at it.
4. Ronald Magoon on Meriden Hill Road called last week regarding the catch basin across from his house. He is worried that when things start to thaw in the spring that he will have water on his property again. He would like someone from the Town to stop by and speak with him about this. Marcia gave Selectman Cloutier Mr. Magoon’s phone number.
We have $14,849 left in Summer Roads as well as an additional $11,396 that was a one-time State payment last year to be used for Class V roads only. Mr. Westover left the meeting at 7:06 pm.
Intent to Cut forms were signed for Jacob Pfaff and Terence Pfaff.
Marcia explained to the Board that our County Tax is due on December 17th and we also have a school payment of $150,000.00 due. Marcia has spoken with SAU #7 Business Administrator Bridget Cross and the School District has agreed to us paying our tuition payment in January. Currently we have the following monies on hand (approximately):
NHPDIP $515,000
Camden $ 20,000
Citizens $ 37,000
The County Tax of $464,164 will take most of our funds. The only large payments left for the year are a plowing payment, in December, fire calls (if we have any) assessing being performed by DRA and salaries for the Town Officers.
Marcia told the Board that she had signed the Engagement Letter with Cohos Advisors for doing our compilation and the MS5 for 2025. The amount is the same as last year – $11,500.00.
Selectman Cloutier signed a contract with Interware for the Town Clerk’s software for 2026. It was noted that the price has increased $106.00 from 2025.
