Submitted by Marylyn Hendricks
Jack Travers, Marian Smith , Cal Tanner and Linda Kennedy were in attendance.
The minutes of the May 16th meeting were read and approved.
The building inspector’s contract is to be renewed for a duration of 3 years.
Paul Prindle will resign effective July 1st. Joe Manley will replace Paul.
The library roof leaked last week. A tarp will be put on until the roof can be repaired. The roof needs replacement and bids for this job are in process.
Jack said the 4 layers of shingles will have to be stripped. It is estimated that the plywood will cost $5,000 and the job total could be $21,000.
Warren will receive a grant of $23,000 for homeland security. It is likely this will administered via the state or C.O.G. (Council of Government). A multitude of paperwork is expected so a task force meeting may be needed to determine how best to spend these funds. Jack stated a problem with one town was that they ordered decontamination trailers, but failed to include tractors to pull them!
This reporter had a question concerning the dry hydrants (a pipe connected to a pond for access to water for the fire trucks), asking whose responsibility it is to assure the pipes are not clogged.
Jack told me the fire department periodically checks to see they are operational.
Meeting adjourned at 5:15 pm.
