Treasurer's Report:
- The Treasurer's Report was read showing a balance of $78,008.28 in the checking account, $48,709.01 in the NHDIP fund, $24,074.07 in the Laconia Bank savings account and $100,000 in the TAN.
- September's school payment and the balance due on the dump truck will use up the $100,000 TAN balance. Presby will advise the Board at that time as to what additional funds will be needed until tax bills are due in November.
Committee Reports & Needs:
- Road Agent Tom Smith updated the Board on the highway dept's schedule. They will finish hauling 3,000 yds of winter sand tomorrow, the mowing tractor will also be delivered Tuesday morning for two weeks of use, gravel is still planned for after Labor Day, and he plans to be grading and spreading calcium chloride as weather permits.
- The Selectmen agreed with Smith's suggestion that the Town purchase the rock screened from the sand at Joe's pit at $3.00/yd. A purchase order will be generated and a check cut for a deposit to hold the material until it can be used or moved.
- A large rock on the Under the Mountain Road that sits on top of a property line marker must be moved. It landed there as a result of road work done years ago. None of the Town's equipment is large enough to pick it up, so Smith will look into other options for removing it.
- The highway budget to date was reviewed and is in good shape.
- Smith's references were checked and all indicate that he will be an asset to the Town.
