Minutes from the September 24, 2002 Meeting of the Select Board

Members present were John Devine, Jerry Mullen, Pete Siegel and Dave Johnson. Also present was Town Clerk Deborah LaRiviére, CCRP Rep Margot and Joss Besse.

The meeting was called to order at 5pm.

Margot informed the Board that CCRP has approved the Town Plan, but were concerned with the list of items that Ian MacDougall (staffer at CCRP) had made

regarding the plan. To that end, Joss Besse gave the Board the draft of the planning grant he has written which outlines the work the town is planning to do if it receives this grant; one of which is reviewing all planning and zoning documents and bringing all into compliance with each other and the regional plan. Besse asked that any information collected by Farley and Associates become town property so it may be subsequently used by whoever does the balance of the research for the grant. Dave motioned:  “To approve the Planning Grant as written by Joss Besse.” Seconded by Jerry. There was no other discussion, all

were in favor, motion passed. Besse has approached Amy Grover, Planning and Zoning clerk, to handle the administrative work for the grant. Previously the

Board had voted to have Deb LaRiviere do it, but all agree Amy would be fine. Jerry motioned: “To rescind the previous motion to appoint Deb as grant administrator.” Pete seconded. There was no other discussion, all were in favor, motion passed.

The Board discussed the recurring Robert Atchinson issue. The Board would like a letter drafted stating that numerous complaints have been received and according to the litter ordinance he is in violation. He will have until October 31 to clean up; he should erect a fence and place what he would like to keep behind it. He may come before the Board on October 7 if he wishes and any items in the town right-of-way will be towed away at his expense. Deb will draft the letter for Pete to sign. This should be sent ‘Proof of Mailing’.

There was no other business to be brought before this Board at this time. Jerry motioned to end the meeting, seconded by John. The meeting ended at 6:30pm.
