Mr. Wyman met with the Selectmen at their request. Mr. Wyman at a previous Selectman’s meeting asked permission to use an unapproved bath house from September 1, 2005 until October 15, 2005. The status of the septic system is unclear; a new design is in the process. The plumbing was removed from the old bath house, conditions were also not acceptable. Mr. Wyman was using a double wide trailer as a temporary bath house; the double wide was sold for financial needs. Mr. Wyman agreed to monitor the current septic system every two weeks and if needed the system will be emptied. Selectman Hartman made the motion to allow the usage of the newly constructed bath house from September 1, 2005 until October 15, 2005 using the existing septic system that will be monitored every two weeks. Selectman Cook seconded the motion. All were in favor. The motion passed.

The Selectmen signed the claims release for a hazardous waste spill that took place on I-89 in February 2005. Wendy Pinkham notarized the signatures. Selectman Cook made the motion to sign the release of all claims for Transport Shalut 2000, regarding an accident that took place on February 7, 2005. Selectman Hartman seconded the motion. The motion passed.

The Finance Director informed the Selectmen that another statement has been received from Atlantic Leasing. The office has not received a response from Atlantic Leasing regarding the billing discrepancy. The Selectmen wish further pursuit before any payment is made. Mrs. Pinkham was in contact with Property Liability & Trust regarding an effort to amend an invoice. Mrs. Pinkham has added the Harriman Statue and bronze plaques to the property list. Mrs. Pinkham asked the Selectman if they wish to have the statue appraised to establish its true value, the statue is currently insured for $25,000.00, the maximum without an appraisal. The Selectman determined that a statement from Spring Appraisal Company should be paid from the Appraisal Review line (Market Basket vs. Town of Warner).

Selectman Hartman made the motion to approve Public Hearing meeting minutes dated July 19, 2005. Selectman Cook seconded the motion. The motion passed.
