Appearances:

  1. KAP Lease: Emily Squibb, explained the preschool census has been down and requested a review of the amount of the rent charged to KAP. Currently, they are only using the facility 8:30 am to 11:30 am Monday-Thursday.  They have been actively fundraising and trying to expand their student list.  The Board of Selectmen agreed to reduce the rent from $500.00 to $300.00 for the remaining length of the lease (June 2015).  The town will have use of the room during the summer months for programs.  The KAP organization will reevaluate their program in the fall and determine whether to continue or to dissolve the organization.  They requested the lease be re written to reflect the new conditions.

  8. Other questions: Sonny Harris questioned who our health officer was (Paul Digeronimo from Warner), What the warranty was on the shingles installed on the town hall roof , and where we stood on the PSNH Bureau of Tax and Land Appeal issue.  The Warranty on the roof was 3 years by the contractor.  The PSNH matter is still not resolved with no news on the potential time to complete.  Also Sonny asked what sort of rules or ordinances we had concerning house numbering.  There is an ordinance and the Selectmen need to do some public relations work to enforce the placement of house numbers at both the end of driveways and on buildings.  Cheryl will investigate methods of getting the word out and educating the public on the importance of signage to aid emergency responders .
