Farmington selectmen approve Transfer Station scale repairs, accept confidentiality memo and handle routine business
Summary
At its April 6 meeting the Farmington Board of Selectmen approved $14,875 to refurbish the Transfer Station scale, accepted a confidential-information memo for staff, approved a $6.44 abatement, and discussed a Milton abutter notice and Food Pantry parking concerns; multiple non-public sessions were also held.
The Farmington Board of Selectmen on April 6 approved several administrative and infrastructure items, including $14,875 to repair and upgrade the Transfer Station scale, and accepted a confidential-information memo for staff handling non-public material.
Town Administrator Jason Henry recommended a full overhaul of the scale, including new springs and a 5-inch display, at an estimated total cost of $14,875. Board members discussed where to mount the display and whether the site should be set to one-way traffic; Selectman Doug Staples said he would meet with staff to confirm placement and compliance. The motion (John Scruton, second Doug Staples) passed 5-0.
The board also unanimously approved a confidential-information memo intended to remind staff of handling requirements for non-public meeting material (motion Titus, second King). Non-public sessions were held at multiple points in the meeting under RSA 91-A for compensation, dismissal, hiring and promotion; entry and exit motions for those sessions passed by roll call vote 5-0. No confidential details were disclosed in the minutes.
Other business: the board approved an abatement for $6.44 (motion King, second Scruton); received a notice from Milton about a potential 98-unit multi-family project with elderly housing in the middle (staff advised no action until a formal application); and discussed parking blocking problems near a Food Pantry on Mechanics Street. Henry said the police department will monitor the situation and staff will advise the pantry to use downtown or municipal lots.
Mr. King also noted the Cornerstone VNA annual report was provided for the board’s information. The meeting adjourned at 7:22 p.m. (motion King, second Staples).
