  • John Archard, CEO discussed a Stop Work Order due to violations on a project on the Kimball Pond Road. The property owners have been notified and John is working with them to get the project back on track.
  • John, as Code Enforcement Officer will check on the Stream road property - three or more unregistered automobiles classifies the property as a junk yard which is a violation.
  • Burt Whittier came in to look at tax maps. Discussed the apparent improvement of the Rugged Mountain Road and the Carr Hill Road. It was unclear who made the improvements.

Adjourned 8:04

Selectmen’s Note: The first test showed a high number for EColi. The next two showed very low numbers ( 1 and 5 ) – virtually negative. Going forward, it will be our policy to test the water at the beginning of every summer.
