1. Call to order – The meeting was called to order by Selectman Titus at 7:00 p.m.

2. Minutes – On a motion made by R. Browne, seconded by L. Titus, the Board voted unanimously to approve the minutes of the 10/13/11 meeting as written.

3.Recreation Department grant – Before the discussion began on the grant application, Recreation Director Nicole Wasilewski inquired of and received approval from the Board to put up signs at the recreation fields to keep dogs off the fields. The need for clean up of dog feces from the fields continues to be an ongoing problem. Nicole then distributed copies of the proposed budget for the grant application, and discussion was given about the scope of work planned. Because the grant is a reimbursable grant and the Town would need to pay money up front, the Board and Nicole worked to reduce the scope of the work to a manageable and affordable project. All parties agreed that the grant application should include the field drainage improvements, a new septic system, a plan to retrofit the existing snack shack bathroom to be a handicap accessible bathroom, and handicap bridges to provide access from one field to another.

4. Personnel Handbook – This item was tabled until the next meeting to allow time for Selectmen and staff to review the attorney’s comments on the proposed policy.
