APPEARANCES:

Jeff Remillard, Road Agent:

Jeff Remillard, Road Agent advised he had two concerns to discuss with the Selectmen:

  1. Jeff would like to rent the excavator to screen for three or four days so we would have it available if it snows and also will have it ready for next winter.

The Selectmen approved this request.

  1. Jeff advised he would like to post the roads tomorrow morning. He stated the dirt  roads are getting bad after checking all the roads today. He is concerned with the asphalt roads as well getting soft. Barry Wheeler questioned if any of the workers have been notified and Jeff stated he did not see anyone out when he inspected the roads. The Selectmen approved this request.

Barry Wheeler questioned where the sand was coming from that was hauled in the past few days, and Jeff stated it came from Ft. Williams in Weare and it was less expensive than a closer pit would charge and the fuel cost was 6 gallons for each trip. Jeff also stated this was for a FEMA project from last year.

REGULAR BUSINESS:

Payroll manifest was reviewed and signed.

Intent to Cut was signed for Preston Starr Map 3, Lot 55 & 56.
