Others present:  Diane L. Guimond, Town Administrator; Chet Murch, Michael Blake, and Kathy Hendry, Recording Secretary.

1. Chairman Griswold opened the Work Session at 2:10 p.m.

2. Fire Chief, Michael Blake reported that he had found conduit for the generator, so we won’t have to run the wiring up through the ceiling. He had asked Jim Banks if the generator could handle the electricity requirements for the building. They determined that if some items were eliminated, they could make it work. However, once the Building is complete and fully operational it won’t be able to handle the added load. Because of the way the building was built, we must have a full-size commercial elevator to meet the disabilities compliance requirements. Once the building is fully established and the elevator is installed and operational, we must have a 50 KW commercial generator. This should be stand-by which operates only when needed, rather than emergency which operates full-time. By October, he should know the status of the Grant. It was determined that approximately $17K should be added to the C.A.P. Improvements project for the generator.

Mike has completed a draft for a 5-year plan for the Fire Department. There is nothing in it yet for staffing, Chief’s position or equipment. He wants to do this each year to give an idea where we are with delivery items, mutual aid, etc. It would point out our strengths and areas needing improvement. The document’s structure has been designed by E.S.E.C.G. a National Fire/Safety Organization.

3. Police Chief Chet Murch would like to hire an additional officer, Michael Drake after July 1^st. The Academy is full till then. The Board signed

5. Lee Speedway would like to schedule a rain date. He would also like to get approval for a July 5^th event in addition to the July 4^th event that is already scheduled. Lee Speedway will donate the proceeds to the Oyster River Youth Association. Selectman Reinhold made a motion to approve the July 5^th event. Selectman LaCourse seconded.

6. Town Administrator Guimond requested signatures on a letter to Carla Corey, Supervisor of the Checklist to increase pay for voting day as follows: $ 11.00/HR for Supervisors and $ 9.50/HR for workers at the polls.
7. Mention was made of how the Safety Complex was not always cleaned up after being used. After July 1^st ALL meetings (including Selectmen’s) will be moved to the Safety Complex, so we need to notify people and plan accordingly so this doesn’t become a problem.

8. The Board signed Authorizations to Withdraw from Trust funds for the Trust Fund Trustees from the Highway Equipment and Transfer Station Expendable Trust Funds and for a deposit into the Transfer Station expendable Trust Fund.
