BOARD OF SELECTMEN

MINUTES OF MEETING

June 26, 2003

Present: Chuck Graybill, Chair

J.R. Swindlehurst III (came in at 7:35 p.m.)

7:00 p.m. Lori Davis, re: minute corrections

Lori Davis came in to request corrections to the minutes of 5/29/03 and 6/5/03, per her attorney. Chuck approved the corrections to Alan Rockenbach’s last name and to insert the word “not”, which was omitted from the 5/29 meeting. The quote attributable to Brett St. Clair remained, since Brett verified that it was indeed his quote.

7:20 p.m. Dan Labonville, re: petition for Morse Rd.

Dan Labonville came in with a petition opposing the proposed multi-family house (with 16 units) subdivision on Morse Rd. with 51 individual signatures. He also brought in an appraiser’s letter, stating that his property would be devalued.

Chuck explained the process to Dan, stating that Steve Kennedy, as the Selectmen’s representative to the Planning Board, will voice his opinion and cast the vote for the Board. The Board will internally discuss with Steve and Steve will vote at the Planning Board.

7:35 p.m. Lori Davis, re: Requesting permission for tour

Lori mentioned that her brother was going to be visiting her and asked if she could take him on a tour of the Transfer Station. Chuck indicated that he has no objection and advised her to ask Woody’s permission.

7:50 p.m. Other Business:

Chuck mentioned that he will be absent on 7/10, since he will be on vacation.

8:05 p.m. Brett St. Clair, meeting with Ethics Committee

Brett came in to see if he could set up a meeting between the Board of Selectmen and the Ethics Committee. Chuck said he doesn’t see a need for a meeting. Brett mentioned that Janice e-mailed him and indicated that the Board wanted to meet with the Committee to “clear the air”. Chuck and J.R. both feel that a meeting is not necessary. J.R. indicated that he thought the Ethics Committee hearing concerning Lori Davis should have been conducted privately. Brett thinks the public’s business should be done publicly. Brett requested a meeting. Chuck mentioned that he didn’t know anything about the Committee’s decision prior to it being publicized in the newspaper and on the Town’s website. Brett thinks a discussion would be healthy. Chuck and J.R. then agreed to a meeting. Brett indicated that he didn’t inform the Board about the Committee’s decision because the Lori Davis ignored the whole process, even thought the Committee made attempts to contact her. The Board met with the Ethics Committee, following this meeting.

8:20 p.m., Chuck motioned to adjourn the meeting. J.R. seconded the motion. The motion carried.
