Appearances

Autocraft: The Board informed Mr. Wilcox that they have been trying to work with him over the past few months yet Mr. Wilcox has not adhered to the agreement he made at the December 5th Select Board meeting. That agreement outlined a plan by which he would have all vehicles removed by March 1st. According to the Chief of Police this has not happened. Mr. Wilcox asked the Board for an additional 30 days to clear all the vehicles off his property. The Chief mentioned that the State of NH had specific requirements regarding the documentation of the vehicles prior to their disposition. It was agreed that each Friday Mr. Wilcox would bring to the Chief the documentation of each car that he has removed from his property that week. This would be shared with the Board to show the progress. The Board stated that this was the last extension they were going to grant Mr. Wilcox and that if at the end of March vehicles remained on his property, the Town would step in and take over the cleanup of the property.
