Notes from Last Night's Select Board Meeting

Dorothy Heinrichs gave us these. They're unofficial and unapproved. As always, you can comment on the Discussion Board or on the post itself.

The board voted to accept an emergency radio provided at no cost to the Town. It is being provided by the State of NH with funding from the federal government and will be used by Orange's Emergency Management Director, Brent Stevens.

Friday, July 19, has been set as the day for the annual large trash pick up. As before, no hazardous material, paints, chemicals or fluorescent bulbs. A list of locations which will accept these items at no cost will be posted on this site. In addition, rresidents may meet the truck and pay for extra items as follows:

• Tires $15 each
• Items containing Freon: $35 each
• Televisions/computer monitors: $25 each

 If not paid for at the time of collection, the items will be left for the owner to properly dispose.

The board voted to approve training for the overseer of welfare, the health officer, and the town clerk.

The board's secretary, Sandi Pierson, reported that she has completed the review of residents currently receiving veteran's or elderly exemptions. Next up, a review of all current use exemptions.

Finally, all agreed that the Conservation Commission's potluck and talk by Ben Kilham on NH's black bears was a smashing success with more than 60 people in attendance.
