Selectmen Meetings - Minutes: July 2008 Archives
Note from the MCA: The MCA will continue its practice of thoroughly reviewing the "draft" selectmen minutes and highlight areas that require clarification or correction. We anticipate that the video of the meeting will be available on the MCA web in the next few days.
In the interim, please note the following clarifications/corrections from the MCA members present:
1. Re: The MPD proposed firing range-" Chief Scott Kinmond commented that he has received a few phone calls regarding inaccuracies being circulated about the proposed firing range. He clarified that it is for the MPD use only." If the selectmen had offered accurate minutes and allowed the video to be broadcast on TWC public access, this would not be the case. The MCA highlighted these errors after the July 10th minutes were posted, and wrote to the selectmen to correct the minutes. The selectmen chose to ignore this and thus the public remained misinformed.
2."The Selectmen agreed by consensus to conduct the test and come back and then make their decision. Chief Kinmond will let the Selectmen know when this can be conducted." The actual decision was that a plan for a test would be offered at the next selectmen's meeting for approval.

V. PUBLIC MEETING:
1. John Anderson asked the Selectmen if they could look into the possibility of offering health insurance to residents under the Town’s group plan, with the resident paying total cost. Karel replied that she was not sure this was legal, but they will look into it. Mr. Anderson also asked the Selectmen to consider budgeting $50,000 for milfoil treatment, as many waterfront properties are being negatively impacted and will result in reduced market values.

Chip Albee, Candidate for Carroll County Commissioner: Mr. Albee introduced himself to the Selectmen and stated that his family, the Severances have been in Moultonborough from before the American Revolution. He recognized that Moultonborough pays 21% of the Carroll County budget. He expressed concern about how money is being spent in the county and that the lack of public input is also a problem. Mr. Albee feels that the County needs to consider the cost to heat the old nursing home building vs. constructing a new energy efficient one. He commented that the County has responded to today’s storm emergency as it should and it also needs to address public transportation. Karel thanked him for coming.
