    Ø    Check manifest signed in the amount of $69,784.52.

    Ø    A group of concerned citizens, see sign in sheet, came in and delivered a signed letter as a formal complaint against the property owners on Baine Rd. Their concerns are oil and other fluids seeping into the wetlands. That there is a child living in the domicile and that there was only one means of egress. That the Selectmen were not taking effective action. Selectmen relayed that they had gone out after the first complaint in October and were assured the by the property owners that they would not be living in the trailer. Mark Lanier went out to the property after the complaint two weeks ago and the property owners had not come in last week like they were supposed to. At this point Selectmen were going to contact the attorney to find out how best to proceed. Selectmen also relayed that the DCYF should be contacted if they did not feel that the child in the home was safe, additionally they could contact DES about the fluids. The group will return next week for an update. Selectmen did notify group that once and if it went to court the amount of information they would be able to share would be limited. The group was concerned the Town has been on notice that the people have been living there since October and that the Town could be liable. Selectmen reminded the group that they did respond in October and were assured by the owners that they were not living in the trailer, and that it was two weeks ago that the Selectmen were again notified that they were living there which has been verified by Mark Lanier and that the owners were supposed to come in last week and did not, so it has only been two weeks. Selectmen will contact the Town Attorney for advice on how best to proceed.
