Re:

Manager’s Report

News & Noteworthy: 1) The second week of April is National Public Safety Telecommunications Week so I would like to thank them for always being there for our residents and businesses 24/7/365 and for completing their jobs in such a respectful and professional manner often under trying circumstances. A very special recognition was provided to Communications Specialist Elizabeth Duclos who was just named “Trainer of the Year” by the NH Emergency Dispatchers Association. 2) Dogs Licenses must be obtained by April 30th each year. Project Updates: 1) 2018 Roads Program – The Department of Public Works continues to progress on Phase IV of the Campbell Road project and a detour has been put in place utilizing Rolling Woods and Wellesley Drives. A neighborhood meeting is being planned for the Bedford Three Corners area which will be the next project following Campbell Road. Additionally design work continues for Sebbins Pond and Sandy Pond Parkway areas. The Cider Mill Road Bridge project is also reaching final design in anticipation for bidding in May and construction later this year. 2) Facilities – We are currently investigating the best way to take advantage of the recently vacated ATF space at the Safety Complex and hope to have a decision made in the next several weeks. 3) Personnel: We are having to say goodbye to another longtime employee Luci Albertson our Director of Children’s Services at the Library who is retiring at the end of the month after 28 years of service to the community. Interviews for Luci’s replacement are underway. Officer Brian Masker, an 18 year member of the Police Department has announced his resignation.
