Finance Committee Minutes Page 3. January 13, 1988 a new fire truck be purchased contigent upon the sale of the hose truck. Article #3 seeks $6,00 from Revenue Available for Appropriation to the Selectmen's Expense Account. Carl explained that the Selectmen's secretary had resigned and the Executive Secretary' s secretary is doing the secretarial work on a contract basis, he also noted another reason for this amount is the search for a new fire chief has been costly. The Finance Committee recommended this article. Article #4 seeks $2,367.42 from Revenue Available for Appropriation to pay bills from the prior year. These bills represent Police and Fire accident and illness costs related to work. These bills are not covered by Blue Cross because they are work related and there is no workman' s comp. Article #5 seeks town acceptance of the layout and definition of Bowdoin Road and to authorize the Selectmen to acquire by eminent domain on the town's behalf land within the sidelines of said layout for this purpose and to appropriate and transfer $1,000 from funds donated for this purpose for an award of damages under direction of the Selectmen. Vern noted that the $1,000 has to date not been received and this article is invalid unless the check is received and clears the bank prior to February 1st . Carl felt that the Finance Committee should wait and discuss the article on January 19th when the Finance Committee will be meeting with the Selectmen. Article #6 seeks the town' s acceptance of a parcel of land from Marsha Marcioneete. Carl noted that this piece of property is in the so-called Ivy League subdivision. There appears to be no clear title on the development, with Marsters claiming ownership. Marcionette owns a parcel right in the middle of this development and she is willing to donate it to the town. Members of the Finance Committee agreed that the land should be accepted. Article #7 concerns a three-way switch of property. The article seeks the town to vote to authorize the Selectmen to take by eminent domain 8. 72 acres of land in the Seabrook Pines Subdivision. Finance Committee members agreed that we should take the land as it is written - provided the title is proven clear. Article #8 concerns the purchase, rent or lease with the option to purchase five modular classrooms. .This may be a dead issue as the School Building Needs Committee is presently looking at the bottom floor of the Town Hall. The people and departments presently there will be moved to make room for the classrooms. There are several alternatives being looked into for the location of theses town offices i.e. old library building, old DPW building, and the portable classrooms. Article #9 received Finance Committee approval. This article is an inter-department transfer of funds. The Treasurer would like town approval to transfer $1,000 from the Tax Bill Printing Account to the Treasurer' s Wages Account.
