APPOINTMENTS:
Doug Whelan gave the Board an update on the goings on at the Center Meeting House. He said they are still in the process of restoring the building. There are a couple of fundraisers planned including a Summer Sizzling Barbecue at Mount Sunapee Resort on July 10, 2009 as well as an historic home tour on August 15th of eight area historic homes. Whelan said this is a big fundraiser getting state wide attention and is being featured in two NH magazines. He said the committee hopes to have raised $800,000 by the end of this year. The Board said they would like to put in an easement saying that the Center Meeting House agrees to the leach field being on their property. In return, the Town grants permission for the Center
Meeting House to use the parking lot and the bathrooms at the town office. The town attorney will draw up an agreement for both parties.
Representatives from Stantec gave an update on Blodgett’s. Stantec reported that a 100% design package will be submitted to the state by the end of this month. A progress report was given with the final details of the project. The representatives did mention that a chainlink fence will be needed around the new project. They will get pricing and will report back to the Board. Pavlicek asked Stantec to come back to the Board in the late summer with the final design for the pump stations.

An appointment letter was reviewed and signed by the board members for Claire Vannatta to be the second Newbury representative for the Upper Valley Lake Sunapee Regional Planning Commission.
A letter was read by Pavlicek by ChiPS treasurer Jennifer Goin asking for a donation toward the playground at the Kearsarge Regional Elementary School in Bradford. Pavlicek read a request from someone that would like to use the gazebo for a wedding on September 9, 2009. The Board said that since it was not during the summer months and after Labor Day that they would be allowed to do this as long as they pay for police detail during the times that they will be at the gazebo. They will need to make arrangements with the police department.
Another estimate was read for the work to be done at the veteran’s hall by Sweet Shelters. The Board decided to give the bid to Sweet Shelters.
