REVIEW MINUTES OF THE MEETING June 15,2010: The Board reviewed the minutes of the meeting. Mr. Maybury made a motion to accept the minutes as presented. Mr. Burack seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous.
LETTER FROM BOARD OF SELECTMEN – REGARDING BIKE TRAIL:
Mr. Burack informed the Board that a letter was received from the Board of Selectmen regarding issues with encroachments onto the bike trail property, but that he would have to abstain from the discussion as his property abuts the bike trail. Mr. Burack then left the room. Mr. Maybury stated he owns land along the rail trail property, but will make sure there is not a “conflict of interest”. As there was only one Board member present and a quorum did not exist, it was decided that the discussion be tabled until the next meeting. Mr. Burack then returned to the meeting.
SIGN “NO CONFLICT STATEMENT” – TREE SERVICE BID: Mr. Burack and Mr. Maybury signed the “No Conflict Statement” to Arbor Tech Tree Service for the contract which was awarded on June 15, 2010.
OTHER BUSINESS: Mr. Maybury asked for an update on the water main installation on Holland Drive. Mr. Gromaski stated that 400’ of pipe has been installed to date.
Mr. Fenney updated the Board on the High School Stadium Turf Field Project. Mr. Fenney stated that no meetings of the Design Select Committee have been held so no architect/engineer has been selected. Mr. Fenney sent the draft RFP to the Committee and has not received any responses on when they could meet. Mr. Breault is on vacation through July 9, and the Committee, which has been appointed by the Selectmen, would probably not meet until after that date.
Meadowbrook Modular’s: Mr. Fenney stated upgrades to floor, carpet and bathroom partitions have been started. Floors will start tomorrow, Wednesday and the partitions will be started next week. Mr. Fenney stated these are temporary modular’s with no foundation, they should be able to be used for another 10 years.
Senior Center: Mr. Fenney stated that the new hardwood flooring has been delivered and the contractors will start work on Monday. The Senior Center is going to shut down for two and half weeks while construction is taking place. Mr. Maybury asked about Elder/Senior Services for those weeks and Mr. Fenney said that Ms. Brennan has already made arrangements.
Mr. Gromaski reported on the shortfall on the utilities account which was previously estimated at $21,000.00 was revised to $14,000.00. Mr. Gromaski spoke with Mr. Caliento who sees no problem going forward with a transfer of funds.
Mr. Maybury mentioned that the Carnival starts tonight. He noticed the snow fence was up and asked Mr. Collins if the DPW was ready for July 3rd and 4th, Mr. Collins stated we are allset for the fireworks and parade.
