~NEW BUSINESS:

1. Paul Poirier from Poirier Excavating (Snow Plow Contractor) was in; he has put up a sand/salt containment area up on Rumery Road for the purpose of sand/salt for Towns people. The containment drum needs a roof over it, Paul will get us some prices and let us know what it would cost us to construct something. He will also move the salt/ sand from the old Town Garage to the new Salt Shed, Paul also mentioned that he needs to have the light fixed at the Salt Shed; Ed stated he would get someone to do it. Paul also stated he will put a pad lock on the man door at the Salt shed due to people keep entering and jimmying the lock. Ed stated ok as long as we have keys at the Town Office, Paul stated he would do that.

2. The School has requested using the Town owned Portable until construction of the new portable is done. Discussion was held on this and it was decided that if it was going to be used it would need electricity and fire alarms hooked back up and should not be used until.
