b. Dan said that we had been reminded by the safety inspector of the need to provide safety rails to the walkway between the C&D and scrap metal containers. He estimated that the rails could be provided for $5-600. The board authorized him to proceed with this work.
4. David Robey came in to discuss the possibility of discontinuing the old route of Baker Hill road, 0.29 miles south of Lyme Center. This had been the subject of a warrant article in 2005, when part of the abutting land was under different ownership. There was a discussion on discontinuing the old route. The Board voted to place this on the warrant as a recommended article.
5. The proposed bond for new town offices was discussed. The published notice had to go out this week. It was agreed that the warrant for a proposed bond should be for an initial bond request of $850,000 for the town offices. If this bond vote passes, a second warrant article for $75,000 to incorporate police offices within the project would be proposed.
6. Dick had prepared a draft letter regarding the Capital Improvement Program, to be sent to all heads of departments and standing boards and committees. He had discussed this with Jack Elliot and the Board agreed to accept the draft and distribute it as speedily as possible.
