    town.

    New Business

    Pat Smith re: new hire Gary Pageau Pat introduced Gary Pageau, the new truck driver for Public Works
    to the Board.

    Library Trustee appointment The Board had no one to appoint and asked the public if anyone knew of
    persons interested please let them know. They need to appoint someone by February 28
    th
    which is when
    they will only have 1 trustee.

    Gerald Coogan re: Planning Consultant Contract Jerry updated the Board on planning and economic
    development. He stated the Planning Board is in the process of updating the Master Plan with focus on
    the land use chapter and vision chapter. He also stated the report for Exit 17 & 18 is now in the
    marketing stage. He is working closely with the EDC and real estate agent Michael Jacobsen to help
    market the Rays Marina property. He also explained the State has a program called Economic
    Revitalization Zones where certain areas in town could be exempt. If theres development on the
    property, and new jobs are created a portion of the owners business enterprise tax could be reduced. This
    would be a great marketing tool. There was a brief discussion on Jerrys contract. MOTION by Bob to
    approve Jerrys new contract for 2014. Seconded by Mike. All in favor, motion carried.

    Chief Krauss asked if they were looking at any traffic control at the intersection on Rte. 75 by Elm Street.
    Larry Brown stated the town should take a proactive stance and do a traffic control study.

    Kathy Seavers re: Farmington Town Clerk Kathy was not able to make it to the meeting but sent an
    email to the Town Clerk explaining more of the process of swapping an employee from Farmington. The
    towns insurance has some concerns about it. The Boards consensus was there were more questions to
    be answered before they made a decision.

    Water Precinct re: discussion on the old police station property the Water Precinct wanted the parcel
    from the town and would build a dry hydrant for the Fire Dept. Tom stated the Board appreciated the
    offer but were going to decline. It makes more sense for the town to keep it and build the dry hydrant
    themselves. Bob then asked when the water meter gets taken out of the Fire Dept. are they still going to
    be charged for two lines. Steve Elliot stated the other line will be shut off so the answer was no.

    Boiler bid opening Since posting the notice no bids have been received and December 30
    th
    was the
    deadline. MOTION by Bob they accept Bill Camerons bid for $300. Seconded by Mike. All in favor,

    Expenditure Report

    TA Dionne stated she had sent a copy to the Board as of December 31 but to keep in mind all of the bills
    have not come in for December.

    Administrator Comments

    SCRP Cynthia Copeland will be coming in to talk to the Board about some ideas they have at the end of
    the month or beginning of February.
    2012 audit has been completed. Next step is to schedule the auditors to come in. Tom said hold off till
    February.
    There was a check for 1 years service of a port a potty at the Transfer Station and Bob had pulled it from
    the manifest because he was concerned about paying a company for a years worth of service versus a
    monthly bill without a contract. Tom said get ahold of Ron Sebastian and have him do a contract if he
    wants payment for the year in advance.

    Selectmen Comments

    Mike Beaulieu informed by TA that no other bids came in for the Milton Free Public Library even after
    extending it. Bob said should we send it back out and leave out the historical portion. The Board decided
    to put it back out to bid. Tom said look into putting it on LGC.

    Tom Gray stated he went to Concord today for the LCHIP Grant presentation. He wanted to show how
    competitive this grant is. Milton had 3 individual grant requests. Out of those 3 Milton was awarded 2 of
    them. He stated this is a good program and they need to support it.

    John Katwick stated the Townhouse received their grant and thanked Tom for going today and
    supporting them. He also wanted to let the public know from here on until further notice any questions or
    concerns of the Townhouse please contact him.
    Steve Elliot asked TA for a cost to see if his employee can get in on the uniform contract Public Works
    has with the town. E. Dionne will look into it.
    Larry Brown had an idea for moving the safes. Find an I-Beam, strap it across the bucket of a pay
    loader, chain the safe to it and slide it out. Tom stated that will be addressed when the snow is gone.

    MOTION by Bob to adjourn. Seconded by Mike. All in favor, meeting adjourned at 6:33pm.

    Respectfully submitted,

    Kimberly Ladisheff
    Recording Secretary
