OPEN FORUM=

Mr. Ergendino= Perrone, 1 Little Island Park, was concerned about the paving of Spring Street Extension. He said the adjust= ed value of the involved properties had been calculated, and was concerned how= the Town would obtain the current value of the properties. He said the values had decreased f= rom the initial report done in October, 2000 and that of October, 2003. He felt the property should pay th= eir fair share based upon the current fair value of each and every property. He suggested that a meeting be hel= d to explain the costs to the residents. Mr. McDevitt said that Mr. Gaydos would research the issue and have = an answer at the next Selectmen meeting. Mr. Perrone suggested that a neighborhood meeting be held so that everyone could be informed.

Mr. Charlie M= ooskian, 111 Currier Road, understood that it would take awhile for the process of the Town to donate = the Old Town Hall building to the VFW. He asked that the Selectmen consid= er allowing the VFW to meet in the building.&= nbsp; He said the VFW met one day per month and could meet in the space on= the first floor so as to not disrupt any meetings being conducted upstairs. Mr. Mooskian then discussed the Cu= rrier Road/Island Pond intersection. He said there was no sign for Currier Road and noted that the intersection was getti= ng torn up because it was too small and vehicles were going off the road. He also informed of the dangerous condition on Currier Road<= /st1:address> due to the construction of two new homes.&= nbsp; He said the construction vehicles were parking on the road and had k= nocked branches off trees, which remained in the roadway. He noted that there was no police = detail to help with the large trucks entering the traffic. Mr. McDevitt asked Mr. Gaydos to s= peak with the Planning Director, investigate the situation and inform the Select= men of the situation, or resolve the issue.&nb= sp; Mr. McDevitt then discussed the usage of the Town Hall building and asked Mr. Mooskian that he send in a request (to Mr. Gaydos) for use of the building (as other groups do) including how often meetings would be held, t= he time and the number of people.

There was no disagreement among the Selectmen with regard to providing a period of comment.

Police Chief Haglund asked to meet with the Selectmen regarding the layout of the back field in connection with adding a skateboa= rd park and softball field. He s= aid they would also like to clean out the right field line. Mr. McDevitt said the Selectmen wo= uld contact Chief Haglund with a date to meet and discuss the field.

Andy Vanti Addition to Field House (= Muldoon Park)

Mr. Andy Vanti met with the Selectmen regarding the pr= oposed addition to the field house at Muldoon Park. The Selectmen had previously been provided with a copy of the plans for the addition. Mr. Vanti informed that the propos= al and layout of the building had been revised.&n= bsp; He said the building would be shaped like an ‘L’. He said the building would be approximately 24ftx14ft.; the first floor would be brick construction to ma= tch the existing building and the second floor would be wood. He said the building would be used= to house equipment. The floor wi= ll be concrete. Mr. Vanti said the funding (from the Warrant Article) had been worked out with Mr. Gaydos. He said once he received approval,= he could submit the building permit. Mr. McDevitt suggested that Mr. Gaydos sign the plan/building permit. There was no disagree= ment from the Selectmen.

MOTION:=

Interviews= for Appointments to Boards/Committees

Board of Adju= stment and Planning Board:

Mr. Peter McN= amara met with the Selectmen to review his application for re-appointment to both= the Board of Adjustment and the Planning Board. Mr. Bergeron asked if Mr. McNamara= would attend the meetings with an open mind and use the information obtained from= the meeting when voting. Mr. McNa= mara answered yes. Mr. Bergeron as= ked further if Mr. McNamara would attend the meetings with an open mind and lis= ten to the testimony at the meeting. Mr. McNamara answered yes. He said that he looked through the papers for the cases the weekend before the meeting, but did not form an opinion at that time.

Mr. Lynde discussed the cul-de-sac regulation and want= ed to know how solid Mr. McNamara felt with holding the current length restriction (2400ft). Mr. McNamara felt t= he limit should be held closely. He discussed the purpose of the amended cul-de-sac regulation and believed that they tried to make it clear that the length would only be waived in excepti= onal circumstances. Mr. Lynde disc= ussed open space, which is listed in the subdivision requirements and Master Plan. He said he would look t= o the Planning Board to make open space happen and asked for comment. Mr. McNamara felt open space was a= great idea and important to be done in a coordinated fashion by reviewing future development. Mr. Lynde believ= ed that larger parcels could accommodate open space. Mr. McNamara agreed.

Mr. Bergeron asked how Mr. McNamara felt about serving= on both the Board of Adjustment and Planning Board at the same time. Mr. McNamara said by serving on bo= th boards he was able to get two different perspectives. Initially he thought he would have= some conflicts, but the first time that happened was at last month’s Board= of Adjustment meeting. He said i= t had not been an issue and believed it was positive for him to serve on both boa= rds, because he was able to provide some background information to each. He said the relationship between t= he boards was better than in past years and was hopeful it would continue.

Mr. Danevich thanked Attorney McNamara for his volunte= erism and leadership on both boards.

Gael Ouellett= e was seeking reappointment to the Planning Board. Mr. Lynde asked that Ms. Ouellette address the cul-de-sac regulation and the open space provisions in the regulations. Ms. Ouellette sa= id she had spent a lot of time helping to research and re-write the cul-de-sac regulation. She said the 2400= ft. was done through OSHA and all sorts of safety background. She said she would hold to the regulations unless there was another safety standard that was better; it was her opinion ‘better’ would be shorter. She then discussed open space and = said the Planning Board should be more diligent when reviewing conceptual plans; developers should know at that time that usable space should be set aside.<= span style=3D'mso-spacerun:yes'>

Mr. Danevich said he had the opportunity to work with = Ms. Ouellette and thanked her for her volunteerism not only on the Planning Boa= rd, but also on sub-committees. <= /p>

Parks & Recreation Advisory Board: Mr. McDevitt noted that the by-laws state at least nine voting members may be appointed; clarification is needed.

Richard Moore= met with the Selectmen to review his application to the P&R Advisory Board.= He said he was interested in joini= ng the board because he had been using the parks more actively in the past year and felt there were some improvements needed (specifically, the condition of the access roads and trash removal). Mr. Moore said he was interested in developing the recreational aspe= cts of the parks for families and sports.

Mr. Danevich said the Town had received a lot of correspondence over the last year from Mr. Moore, which was appreciated. He also thanked Mr. Moore for volunteering to be a part of the board.&nb= sp;

Robert Sherma= n said he had previously been involved with the P&R Advisory Board and was interested in volunteering again. He said another reason for becoming involved again was because of his involvement with the Boy Scouts (Troop #610). He said there were several Eagle S= couts that were getting ready to do projects.&nb= sp;

Lisa Sparkman= , who was requesting reappointment to the P&R Board, said she would like the opportunity to provide input as a mother with a child who plays sports.

Charlene Take= sian said she was interested in being appointed to the P&R Board because of her connection to the Sherburne Hall Committee and its renovation to be a cultu= re and art center. She believed = that Sherburne Hall might be able to be under the P&R Department ‘umbrella’= ;, and may therefore handle scheduling events.

It was noted that the following boards had openings: B= oard of Adjustment – two members and several alternates; CTAC – two members and several alternates; Conservation Commission – four members and several alternates; Planning Board – two members and several alternates; Park and Recreation – four members.

OLD BUSINE= SS

Selectmen Assignments – Department Representatives Discussion

Mr. McDevitt said there had been an informal discussion regarding department representatives. He suggested that representatives not be appointed to departments si= nce the Town Administrator generally was the contact person for the departments.

Mr. Bergeron - Council on Aging, Cemetery Committee an= d Cemetery Trustees

Pelham Int= ernet Policy Approval & Adoption

Mr. Danevich said at the previous Selectmen meeting he= had requested comments from the Selectmen and the public regarding the policy in connection with Pelhamweb.com, but no comment had been received. He said the policy had not specifi= cally addressed the newspaper links and wanted the Selectmen to be aware of that fact.

Mr. Bergeron asked if the name of the website could be= Town of Pelham New Hampshire websites. Mr. Danevich said that Pelhamweb.c= om or Pelham-NH.com would bring a person to the Town’s official website. He said there had been commercial entities that had registered other web addresses that had the name Pelham contained in there web address. Mr. Bergeron reiterated his question regarding the website name. Mr. Danevich said there would be s= ome impacts to changing the name, and provided the following examples: the webs= ites would need to be re-registered and moved, Town employees currently used Pelhamweb.com, and business cards would also need to be changed. He said an alternative would be to= add a redirect so if someone typed in Town of Pelham New Hampshire websites it would take them to the correct site. Mr. McDevitt suggested that the Selectmen approve the policy so that the Town sites could be separated from= the non-Town sites; at the same time Mr. Danevich could investigate and research Mr. Bergeron’s question. Mr. Danevich said he could discuss the issue further with Mr. Jim Greenwood. He asked that the policy include acknowledgement of the newspaper links.&nb= sp; The Selectmen did not object. Mr. Danevich noted that if the policy was approved it would then be posted.

Summer Cam= p Fees

Mr. McDevitt said the Selectmen received a letter from= Ms. Kathy Carr of the Park & Recreation Department relative to proposed fee increases to the 2004 Summer Camps. The letter stated that there had been a unanimous vote at the last P= ark & Recreation Board meeting to increase the Summer Camp fees as follows:=

three or four children/$400

Proposed costs for 2004:

Mr. Danevich discussed the process taken for revising = the cost structure. He recommende= d that the fees be increased as proposed. <= /span>

VOTE:

(5-0-0) The motion carried.

Mr. Danevich said there was an additional request rega= rding the continuation of early drop-off and after-care for the summer camp program.<= span style=3D'mso-spacerun:yes'> He recommended that it continue and asked if he could discuss the service with Mr. Gaydos. Mr. Gaydos felt the early drop-off= and after-care was integral to the summer program. He said there would be no addition= al insurance costs. He believed = it would increase participation.

There was no objection to continuing the early drop-of= f and after-care services for the summer camp program. If there was a proposal for an inc= rease in cost, it will be brought to the Selectmen for review.

Proposal t= o close Tallant Road Bridge During New Construction

Mr. Gaydos read aloud a memo that indicated the time involved with the construction of the Tallant Road Bridge and a compar= ison of staged construction versus totally closing the bridge. He said there were concerns with t= he traffic, which would involve comment from the Police Chief.

Police Chief Haglund said a safety meeting had been he= ld and the recommendation was to completely close the Tallant Road Bridge during the construction process; the traffic would be detoured through the intersectio= n at Nashua Road<= /st1:Street>. He said there would be problems wi= th an overflow at the Castle Hill Road Bridge and at the <= st1:Street w:st=3D"on">Nashua Road intersections. Chief Haglund = said one of the Fire Chief’s issues was the mutual aide response times fro= m Hudson, but he st= ill endorsed the plan.

Mr. McDevitt said the process would continue. The only issue was if the Selectme= n will agree to close the bridge completely. Mr. Bergeron felt the Selectmen should move forward with the process= and asked if a decision could be made at the next meeting. Mr. McDevitt said depending upon t= he public comment a decision should be made in a week or two. Mr. Derby suggested that a sign be installed off Rt. 111 in Hudso= n indicating that the Talla= nt Road Bridge was closed. Police Chief Hagl= und said once the project was out to bid the contractor would be responsible fo= r signage. He agreed with Mr. Derby’s suggestion.

Mr. Gaydos didn’t feel that delaying a decision = until the next week or so would interfere with the construction process.

Mr. Danevich asked how long construction would take an= d what the impact on the Town center would be.&nb= sp; Police Chief Haglund said there were 140 construction days. He was unsure if the state did a t= raffic count. Mr. Danevich asked if = there were any provisions for a traffic detail at the Nashua Road intersection. Mr. Gaydos said there was funding = within the project for traffic control. Mr. Danevich requested preliminary traffic cue information before the Selectmen vote. Mr. Gaydos said there w= as funding available and it would be up to the Police Chief how the problem wo= uld be tackled.

Mr. Lynde asked if the construction days would be six = days per week and wanted to know when the project would start. Mr. Gaydos answered yes and said t= he project would possibly begin in May. Mr. Lynde wanted to know what would happen if the project was delayed and paving did not occur. It = was Police Chief Haglund’s understanding that the bridge would be removed when the project began. Mr. G= aydos said the construction work was mainly the gravel and pavement. Mr. Lynde wanted to know what would happen if the paving portion was not complete by the time the asphalt plants shut down for the year. Mr. G= aydos said that calcium chloride could be put down and the road would be opened.<= span style=3D'mso-spacerun:yes'>

There was further discussion; Mr. McDevitt suggested l= eaving public comment open for two weeks.

Process for Transfer of Old Town Hall to VFW

Mr. McDevitt suggested that a committee (two selectmen= and Mr. Gaydos) be appointed to meet with members of the VFW to begin the proce= ss. He said that the basement was being cleaned out.

Mr. Bergeron said he would be willing to be appointed = to the committee.     =

He= said action would not be taken this evening, public comment will be scheduled for the next meeting.

Ms. Joan Talbot, 7 Hobbs Road, abutter to the F. Gendron & Co. junkyard addressed the Selectmen. She discussed her concerns: 1) remove the eight foot high eye beam f= rom the front of her property; 2) move/remove the hanging wires at the utility = pole from the front of her property; 3) move the two truck bodies at the boundary line to comply with the Town ordinance/storage unit setbacks; 4) original variance stipulations should be enforced (trees have not been planted, fenc= ing does not provide substantial screening, burm located on three abutting properties and should be corrected); 5) consent decree should be upheld (wh= ite goods, non-operational or abandoned parts are being accepted); 6) is the conservation easement – five-year window still in affect. Ms. Talbot ended by providing the Selectmen with photographs of the site.&nb= sp; Her main concern was the acceptance of white goods and PCBs.

Mr. McDevitt ended by informing that the public input = would be scheduled for the next meeting. <= /span>He said that the Town would take action in connection with her list of concerns.

Mr. Gaydos said that it was common for operations to h= ave an Automotive Recycling Dealer Registration (Jack Mansur’s registration = has already been signed). He said= the state was definite in indicating that the registrations are signed by April 1, 2004. He said as in past years, if subse= quent to the registration being signed the applicant went out of compliance with = the Town the registration could be revoked.&nb= sp; In reference to Jean-Guys Used Cars and Parts, Inc. Mr. Gaydos recommended that either the Board or himself sign the registration so that dealer plates could be issued.

TOWN ADMIN= ISTRATOR’S/SELECTMEN’S REPORTS

Mr. Gaydos discussed the maintenance of Town lawns/fie= lds and said that a bid could go out similar to last year, with the exception of the Village Green. Mr. Lynde brought up the fact that it was unknown when the Town would take over the Village Green maintenance. It= was suggested that the Village Green be bid separately. Mr. Danevich asked if a policy was= in place for reoccurring bids (i.e. cleaning service). He asked if there was any benefit = to awarding two-year bids. Mr. G= aydos said that when bids went out he could request a one, two and three year bid. After a brief discussion= , it was requested that the bid policy be reviewed to address the frequency of certain bids that were awarded to ensure that the Town was obtaining the be= st contract possible. Mr. Gaydos= ended by asking the Selectmen to sign the agreement between the Police union and = the Town, as approved at Town meeting. He circulated the agreement for the Selectmen to sign.

Mr. McDevitt announced that the New Hampshire Departme= nt of Revenue had a program for low/moderate income households which granted prop= erty tax relief. He said the Tax Collector had additional information.

Mr. Bergeron informed that the next Regional Water Cha= rter Committee meeting would be held April 1, 2004 at 6:30= pm.
