Chairman O’Connor opened the meeting at 6:30 p.m.

The first appointment was not present. The Board moved onto old business. The first item for discussion was setting the building permit fees for cell towers. Fees were compared with other towns. Hopkinton charges $500.00 per permit plus $500.00 per co-locator, Bow charges $100.00 plus $15.00 per inspection, Webster charges a $100.00. Selectman Brayshaw made a motion for discussion, $1,000.00 building permit fee plus $1,000.00 per co-locator. Selectman Mical and Chairman O’Connor felt the fee stated by Selectman Brayshaw was too high. Discussion followed amongst the members of the Board. Selectman Brayshaw withdrew his motion and amended it to read that the Building Permit fees for commercial cell/wireless towers will be $20.00 per linear foot plus $500.00 per co-locator. Selectman Mical felt that $20.00 per linear foot was still too high and is more supportive of $10.00 per linear foot. Further discussion followed. Selectman Mical seconded the motion. All were in favor. The motion carried. Chairman O’Connor made a motion that all co-locator fees for the commercial cell towers be paid at the time the Building Permit is submitted for approval. Selectman Brayshaw seconded the motion. All were in favor. The motion passed. Selectman Brayshaw made a motion to charge .15 per square foot for any accessory building or cabinet placed on the cell tower site. Selectman Mical seconded the motion. All were in favor. The motion passed.

Barbara Annis met with the Board to receive the Selectmen’s Capital Improvements. The Board scheduled a work session on June 22, 2002 at 8:00 a.m. to discuss the Capital Improvements and will respond back to Mrs. Annis next week.

At this time in the meeting a young man named Nicholas Smith along with his mother Lynette Smith approached the Board. Nicholas Smith apologized to the Board for breaking the lock on the boy’s room door at the Town beach. Mr. Smith purchased a new lock for the door, and explained that the group he was with (Don Bosco Boys Camp) was unable to change their clothes. The Board thanked Mr. Smith for his honesty and requested that he return the lock that he purchased for a refund. The Board will notify Parks and Recreation about the broken lock.

Mr. Fairfield Whiting, Justin Whiting and Tom Stotler met with the Board for clarification pertaining to the redemption of the deeded property located on Map 29 Lot 4. Chairman O’Connor referred to the Revised Statute Annotated (RSA 80:89) stating that Mr. Whiting needs to request the buy back amount by a certified letter, when the letter is received by the Town, all due taxes and fees will then be noticed by certified letter to Mr. Whiting, who will need to respond within the time frame stated in RSA80:89.

At the June 11, 2002 Selectmen’s meeting a motion was made by Selectman Mical to accept the pay roll change form as presented by the Wage Study Committee effective June 11, 2002. The motion was seconded by Chairman O’Connor for discussion and tabled until a full Board could vote. Selectman Brayshaw reviewed the form and recommended a full Board approval for all pay raises instead of a majority Board as stated on the form. Liz Young who attended the Selectmen’s meeting on behalf of the Wage Study Committee explained the recommended majority Board approval for a pay raise was because if a situation ever came about when a full Board was not available, but it could still be a Selectmen’s policy to require the full Board’s approval, and that the Wage Study Committee did not feel that they should be the ones recommending the full Board approval.

The Board agreed that there should be a full Board approval for pay raises on the form. Chairman O’Connor asked why the Wage Study Committee would want a copy of the pay roll change form. Mrs. Young stated that it was just for informational purposes to see if the pay raises were falling inline with the schedule. It was recommended by the Board that the information pertaining to payroll changes remain in the Selectmen’s office and a copy of the information will be made available to the Wage Study Committee for their review, with the understanding that the information does not leave the Selectmen’s office. Selectman Mical withdrew his motion from June 11, 2002 and Chairman O’Connor withdrew his second. Selectman Mical made a motion that the Board of Selectmen approves the payroll change form with changes (full Board approval for all pay raises and all copies of the form will remain in the Selectmen’s office) as submitted by the Wage Study Committee effective July 1, 2002. Selectman Brayshaw seconded the motion. All were in favor. The motion passed.

The Bonus Guideline form was reviewed by the Board. Discussion continued about what is considered above and beyond normal responsibility that would justify a bonus. The Board agreed to change the form from "work outside the normal area of responsibility" to "bonus based on significant accomplishment/performance completion of special projects in an exemplary manner". Selectman Mical made a motion to approve the Bonus Guidelines form as submitted by the Wage Study Committee with changes. Selectman Brayshaw seconded the motion. All were in favor. The motion passed.

Selectman Mical presented a Performance Evaluation Review packet that was created by the Wage Study Committee. The Board will review the packet and respond back at the July 16, 2002 Selectmen’s meeting.

The Board discussed the maintenance of the Town Hall roof. There is $24,000.00 of encumbered funds for roof repair. There is another $12,000.00 allotted in this year’s budget for roof repairs. Chairman O’Connor recommends using the encumbered funds for the roof repairs and the $12,000.00 for relief of the overspent Welfare line. Selectman Mical recommended using all the money for the Town Hall roof and using money from the Old Graded School window repairs for the Welfare relief. Selectman Mical will have a quote for the repairs on the roof at the next Selectmen’s meeting.

The Board further discussed the development of a Road Committee and the purpose of the Committee. The Board will discuss the impact of this committee with the Public Works Director. Selectman Mical mentioned that the Planning Board may have played a roll in the development of roads in the past and that around 1970 road standards were set as part of the Master Plan. Selectman Mical will further research if the Planning Board played a roll in road development.

The Board discussed if a building permit can be obtained on a Class V seasonal road. The Board feels that you can build on a Class V seasonal but the Town is not obligated to maintain the road during the winter months. Barbara Annis recommended to the Board to research the RSA about summer homes because the Town of Warner does not have seasonal building permits. Selectman Mical will look into Mrs. Annis’s recommendation.

The Board reviewed the heating oil contract. Selectman Mical made a motion to accept H.R. Clough’s heating fuel proposal for .877 for the next ensuing year. Selectman Brayshaw seconded the motion. All were in favor. The motion passed. Chairman O’Connor discussed the upcoming propane costs with the Board. Chairman O’Connor had asked the Finance Director to call a variety of propane suppliers for pricing quotes. The price range is from .839 to $1.10. The Town is getting ready to go out to bid. The Board is still waiting for one more quote.

The Board discussed the computer needs for the Town Clerk and the Tax Collector. Selectman Brayshaw made a motion to purchase two computers, one for the Town Clerk and one for the Tax Collector not exceeding $2,000.00 total. Selectman Mical seconded the motion. All were in favor. The motion passed. The Internet installation will be placed on hold until the computers are finalized.

Selectman Mical inquired about the status of the unregistered vehicles that have already been noticed. Chairman O’Connor informed the Board that letters have been sent by the Police Department.

Barbara Annis informed the Board that the Planning Board met on June 17, 2002, to discuss changes to the Site-Plan Regulations relating to non-residential architecture. Minutes are available at the Planning Board office.

When the construction of the Police Department was completed, and the building was being furnished there was a locker that was received with damage. The Board is trying to resolve this claim. Chairman O’Connor will follow up on this claim; the time allotted for filing may have expired.

The Board discussed the restricting of new construction in the Town of Warner. Discussion will continue on July 16, 2002 with the Planning and Zoning Chairmen.

The Board approved vacation time for Paul Fouliard during the month of July. The Transfer Station will be receiving wooden pallets from Naughton & Son Recycling Inc. in exchange for a $100.00 credit per month.

Mr. Steve Bridgewater stopped by the Selectmen’s office earlier in the week and spoke to Chairman O’Connor about the mowing on Pumpkin Hill Road. Mr. Bridgewater asked if the Board of Selectmen along with the Public Works Director would go up and look at what Mr. Bridgewater considers damage incurred by the mowing.
