The meeting opened at 4:40.
Minutes – The minutes from the February 12th meeting, motioned by Bruce and seconded by Jim, were approved unanimously.
Maintenance – The Town will be asking for an additional $25,000 in Town Meeting to deal with the most pressing maintenance issues. These include the stabilization of the front wall of the building, an ADA compliant back door, punch-out windows for the temporary Town Offices (for safety) and a store-front style front door (to reduce heat loss). The issue of removing the existing insulation and blowing in new insulation will cost an additional $34,000. It was suggested we apply for a PSNH energy improvement grant to fund this project. The Preschool has a light that needs replacing – it’s the ballister, not the bulb. Debbie will talk to Paul. The shade in the Senior Room has not yet been replaced.
Health & Human Services – Blood Pressure Screening and Foot Care are on-going services offered the 3rd Thursday of the month. Please be sure to call to make an appointment for foot care. No appointment is necessary for blood pressure screening.
Seniors – The St. Paddy’s Day dinner is Thursday March 14th.
KAP – No report.
Parks & Rec – People have started signing up for the spaghetti dinner. There will be a table selling tickets at both the Bradford and Newbury Town Meetings. Jim motioned to take the cost of the hot dog machine from the Parks and Rec town account. Bruce seconded and the vote was unanimously in favor. There will be a meeting on 3/19 at 4:30 to finalize plans for the dinner. Setup for the event will start at 3pm Saturday 3/23. Folks who are coming to help should arrive around 4pm. We still need help for setup. Parks & Rec now has an Active.com account. The race has been listed on CoolRunning.com.
Request for Room Use – There is a group that would like to use the Youth Room on Thursday evenings. It was suggested that they might want to volunteer time at the BACC doing odd jobs to help cover room use costs.
The meeting adjourned at 5:37.
Respectfully submitted,
Karen Hambleton, Secretary
Next meeting: April 9th 4:30pm
