Don Davidson showed interested parties the new Backhoe Loader from the Transfer Station.

Dennis Keaton, the CEO of Bear Paw Lumber presented the companies position on the selling of the "Mulford House" (copy attached). The BOS voted 3-0 to table the issue until further notice.

One concealed weapons permit was signed.

June said that the Stow Board of Selectmen had asked to use Fryeburg's Septage site for their town's Septage disposal. On Don Davidson's recommendation the BOS voted (3-0) to wait until the Town's Septage site renewal is complete in order to see what issues may have to be dealt with.

June presented the BOS with a preliminary agreement for Stow's usage of the Transfer Station. She will have it reviewed by Buzz Pratt and is asking the BOS to review it for comment at the May 30th meeting.

The issue of replacing the Waste Oil Heater at the Transfer Station was discussed. Before making any decisions the BOS would like to look into it further. They would like Tim Shultz look at it to see if it can be repaired; find out about having oil trucked out; look into a ducting system similar to what the airport uses. This item was tabled until such time as these issues were resolved. (3-0)

June reported that she and David Gould are working with Buzz Pratt on a plan to clean-up Auto Graveyards/Junk yards in Town.

Harry True reported that the Saco River Task Force has selected Yankee Airboat of North Sebago to build an air boat. He is waiting for the agreement to come from IF&W so that we can receive the money from the Heritage Foundation.

The Warrant was signed and the minutes were approved.

It was moved and seconded to go into Executive Session to interview the applicant recommended by the Transfer Station Manager and the Administrative Assistant for the position at the Transfer Station. When they BOS came out of Executive Session it voted unanimously to hire Asa Hunton pending successful completion of motor vehicle and background checks by Chief Miles. His starting rate will be $9.00/hour.

It was moved and seconded to go into Executive Session to discuss a personnel matter regarding the investigation of a complaint against an employee.
