from selectmens minutes
Selectman Scalley said the Homeland Security grant is moving forward.
There is some additional paperwork that needs to be completed but it
is on track now.
Chairman Gauthier said he'd like to discuss providing guidance to the
other Town Boards on how to meet with respect to COVID-19. He said
Planning and Zoning still have business to conduct. Fire Chief Oleson
said he would be agreeable with the Boards meeting at the Town Hall
and he would be willing to screen attendees. Selectman Scalley said he
would rather keep people out of the Town Hall building right now due
to the construction and the hazards on site. Chief Oleson said
meetings can be held at the Fire Station and he can pull the apparatus
out of the bays. He said social distancing and keeping meetings under
10 people would still apply. Selectman Moroney will work with the Land
Use Secretary to get things in place.
John Trammell spoke as Interim Emergency Management Director. He said
he's been working with the Police and Fire Chiefs as well as Peter
Eakley. They've been participating in State EOC calls for COVID-19
related updates three times a week. Chairman Gauthier asked about the
status of campground openings. It was advised that state-wide there is
a great concern of opening campgrounds and spreading the virus. The
Governor has not made an Executive Order to close them as of yet. All
Cities and Towns have been encouraged to contact the Governor's office
to voice their concerns. Both the Fire and Police Chiefs stated they
had done so. Trammell and both Chiefs had drafted a letter to present
to the campground owners in Town to remind them about social
distancing, the Governor's order for self-quarantine for out-of-state
visitors and campground owner responsibility. Chairman Gauthier made a
motion for the drafted letter to be sent to campground owners in Town.
Selectman Moroney seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Selectman Scalley said he wanted to make a point in saying that making
decisions to limit businesses and juggle safety from the virus is very
difficult and not something he takes lightly.
At 6:36 p.m., Chairman Gauthier made a motion to go into non-public
session per RSA 91-A:3 for personnel and legal. The motion was
seconded by Selectman Scalley and polled; Gauthier – yes, Scalley –
yes, Moroney – yes.
