Minutes – The minutes from the December 4th meeting, motioned by Dawn and seconded by Karen, were approved unanimously.
Maintenance – Paul Charbineau (corrected – s/b Gross) is the new town maintenance person. We will ask him to check the back splash in the kitchen. The engineer came, examined the front of the building and has made a recommendation to the Town. The new room darkening shades have been installed in the Preschool and a new flow valve was installed on the boiler pump. The timer for lights seems to be set correctly now. New exterior lights have been installed in the back of the building. There was a discussion about where we can put the computers so they are accessible for those who wish to use them.
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. It was suggested that we contact the VNA for suggestions on a Health and Human Services Rep. This would help us bring outreach programs into the Community Center. It would be good to get their services on our schedule. Ona will talk to Phil to see if the VNA is currently working through CAP.
Seniors – There were no exercise classes for the month of December. Classes resumed in January. The quilters were busy making blankets and pillows for the doll cradles that Hal Liberty made. The cradles were donated to charities in different towns, as well as to CHiPs for the Sullivan County Jail. Meals On Wheels got friends to help drive their clients to the Community Center for a special holiday party. There were about 54 in attendance. Monetary donations to the Senior group were used to buy gifts for each of the clients as they don’t get out often.
KAP – No report.
Parks & Rec – Bruce submitted a budget to the Town. He is purchasing a refrigerator. The Committee has gathered information on an ice skating rink. The tarp would cost about $600 and the framing structure about $180. The Town Hall parking lot is being considered as a location. The next meeting will take place on January 24th at 4:30.
Budget – Bruss is still working on an estimate for the other needed maintenance (insulation, repointing bricks, water run-off above the deck, slotted decking, ADA compliant store front doors etc). Bruss recommended hot roofing to be blown into the rafters.
Review/Renew Agreements – Letters need to be drafted and sent.
New Business – A letter needs to be drafted outlining the fee and insurance stipulations for the individual who requested use of the kitchen this summer to prepare for a wedding.
The idea of a Spaghetti Dinner to raise funds for Parks and Rec and the NH Police, Fire, Emergency Fund was presented. The idea was welcomed and the dinner will be held in early April. It was suggested that there be as many 3 different seatings and that tickets could be sold in advance to help determine how many people might attend.
The meeting adjourned at 5:47.
Respectfully submitted,
Karen Hambleton, Secretary
Next meeting: February 12th 4:30pm
