Present: Marj Roy, Vicky Mishcon, Jim Delaney, Dave Blinn
Also present: Chief Rene Lefebrve, Stephen Barton, Sr.
Road Agent
Monticello Road: The road work is basically completed. The shoulders are in, as are the chevrons on the corners. It needs to be raked, but otherwise completed.
Plains Road: According to Allstate Paving, the shimming that was done is good, and the road might not need to be chip-sealed for three to four years. The road should be looked at in the spring.
Thompson made clear that this road was not paved, but is being maintained. Thompson’s concern is if this road is used for detours when other roads are being worked on.
Maple Street Bridge: Thompson indicated that a very rough estimate for the Town crew to repair, including materials and labor, is approximately $16,986. This would be to do the decking with 2x4s on edge. This would be for pedestrian traffic only. Thompson recommended that the specs be drawn up and put this project out to bid to contractors.
Raccoon Hill Road: A resident on this street requested calcium chloride be put down to help with the dust. Thompson indicated he needs some rain in order to put the calcium chloride on.
Elbow Pond Road: It will cost approximately $1,000 to $1,200 to fix the Beaver Deceivers.
Flaghole Road: It will cost approximately $2,500 to complete the drainage work on this road.
Transfer Station Proposal
Roy will e-mail the information for the Select Board’s work session on September 9.
Andover Energy Group’s Proposal
Mishcon explained that the goal for this proposal is for improvement of the energy consumption at the Town Hall and the Library. There are four parts to this proposal:
- Envelope the building by sealing it with insulation and foam on the basement walls, and plastic on the dirt parts in the basement. In preparation, everything was pulled away from the basement walls, swept, and vacuumed. The estimate is $8,000, not including a New Hampshire Electric Co-op 35% rebate. A detailed estimate from Shakes to Shingles is at the Town Hall for review.
- Lighting and appliances to be replaced with more energy efficient models. (Half of the lights at the Town Office have been taken away already.)
- Heating, air conditioning, and ventilation conversion
- Solar generalization
Mishcon made the motion for the Board to approve the work to be done by Shakes to Shingles this year to insulate the library from top to bottom along with the basement walls and the vault and to get an estimate for an HVAC system for the entire building. Blinn seconded the motion. All in favor. Motion passed.
Planning Board
The Planning Board updated several documents which are ready for the Board’s approval. The Board will review these on September 9 at their work session.
