TOWN OF WALPOLE
MEETING OF THE SELECTBOARD
JUNE 26, 2014

Selectboard Present: Chas Street (Chair); Steven Dalessio; (Absent: Whiney Aldrich)

CALL TO ORDER: Mr. Street called this meeting to order at 6:00 PM in the Walpole Town Hall with three people in attendance.
These are unapproved Minutes.

PUBLIC BUSINESS:
POLICE CHIEF MIKE PAQUETTE: Chief Paquette introduced Katrina Lee as the temporary Dispatcher / Office Assistant. She took charge of the paperwork, doing tasks for the staff, got them caught up with filing, answering the phone and taking care of the people that come to the window. Chief Paquette would like to see her stay with the department on a temporary basis for under 34 hours/week.
Chief Paquette submitted an Activity Report year-to-date as follows: Arrests – 38 (9 were felony related); Traffic Crashes – 33; Incidents – 68 (there are follow-up investigations); Calls for Service – 2,663. These figures are close to last year.
Chief Paquette explained that his budget is doing well except for two lines: Over-time and Part-time officers. He is close to being where he was last year. He provided a written explanation of what is contributing to some of the over-time; it is consistent with the last ten years of eight-to-fifteen hours a week. His position for the fourth full-time officer was for officer safety. Mr. Dalessio pointed out that there have been no payments taken out of the Police payroll for dental insurance. The department has not yet been charged for gasoline. He will bring this to Mrs. Clough’s attention. Mr. Street mentioned that the Selectboard will be doing a review of the first six months of the budget the second week in July.
The Police Department recently did Range Day; he invited the Selectboard to come to the next Range Day to see the type of training they do. Recently all but two of the Police Department officers went to the Stevens Driving School for an eight-hour class at the Hillsborough Airport. It is sponsored by the Local Government Center. This past year they adopted a new Field Training Program. Chief Paquette sent Officers Justin Sanctuary and Noah Sanctuary to a Field Training Officer School for a week. They came back, set up the program for Walpole and came up with 320 hours for field training. This program is to minimize liability for the Town. He sent three officers to the Drug and Addiction School; it was a week long. Almost weekly they are dealing with cases dealing with drugs and other addictions; this is why they have a part-time detective.
This week-end they called in extra officers to cover for the Walpole Old Home Days and in August they will need extra officers for the Rockingham Old Home Days.
Chief Paquette advised that the department recognized the need to acquire a formal interviewing room and officer work space. They were able to provide this space by moving the officers work room into the conference room and making an interviewing room out of that space. He got a local business to help them with donations; they donated all the monitors and chairs. They are working on other donations. Chairs are needed; Mr. Street felt he could take some chairs the Town recently acquired from the American Legion.

JACK FRANKS: Mr. Franks wanted to talk about the letter the Selectboard wrote to the State. He wondered if there were any new concerns. Mr. Street noted that Mr. Franks has put up the silt fences and should be keeping track of what is going out-and-coming in with the excavation. Mr. Franks did a site inspection this morning as per the requirements. He felt Mr. Pellerin had sent in everything that Captain Herb Hurlburt requested but he will re-check with Mr. Pellerin.
