3. Extensive “housecleaning” work session going through files, and records stored in boxes. Pulled out a lot of the ones we no longer have to keep. We go by the State regulations for municipal records. Some files must be kept for one, two, or six years; some for thirty years, and many records, of course, must be kept permanently. As far as dispersing goes, some records can merely be thrown away (recycled) and those of a confidential nature must be destroyed.

4. Selectmen voted Dodi Thompson as Chairperson of the board for another year.  There was a discussion of the election and Town Meeting. All the incumbents were reelected. Town meeting went smoothly. The budget was accepted as presented; all articles passed, and the proposed Building Ordinance was adopted.
5. Discussed the theft of town materials from the sand/salt shed property. We have had a town resident take truck loads of sand over the winter; they also took stone/gravel to fix their driveway this spring.   One of the selectmen caught them twice and gave them a warning and explained the salt/sand policy of the Town.  The selectmen continued to explain to them the proof (including photos) he had gathered, as well as reports from other town residents. The selectmen agreed to send an official letter asking for reimbursement to the town for two loads of sand and two loads of gravel. If no payment is received by May 1, 2016, the proper law enforcement authorities will be notified.
6. Jim Craig requested a copy of the new Building Ordinance.
7. Chief Church requested a copy of the warrant to submit for reimbursement from a forestry grant.
