Fire Chief William Sullivan stated that he is recommending the second low bidder on both of these
items. He would like the Selectmen to move on the pagers, as they are due in the field by July 1st. He is
recommending the Protective Clothing Bid be awarded to Bergeron Protective Clothing. He is
recommending the Pager Bid be awarded to Two Way Communications.
Motion by Craig Musselman to approve the bid for pagers from Two Way Communications,
Newington, in the amount of $370.00. Seconded by Joseph Mills for discussion.
Vice-Chair Mills asked Selectman Musselman why he supports the second highest bid.
Selectman Musselman explained that it is $7.40 per unit and is conveniently located in the area for repairs
to the units. He asked Fire Chief Sullivan if there is a technical difference between the two bids.
Chief Sullivan replied that there is no technical difference in the equipment. He explained that Two Way
Communications in Newington will maintain the equipment for a year. After that time, there is a charge
as the equipment is only warranted for a year. Most companies have a one year warranty.
Selectman Musselman commented that it is the same unit. If the units are purchased from Ossipee
Mountain Electronics, for the first year if the units need servicing they will have to be sent to
Moultonborough. After the first year, the company in Newington can be paid to service the equipment.
Selectmen Musselman withdrew his motion.
Motion by Joseph Mills to purchase the pagers from Ossipee Mountain Electronics for $362.60 per
unit. Seconded by Craig Musselman. All in favor.

Unapproved Minutes of April 9, 2012
Please see minutes of April 23, 2012 for approvals/corrections
I. Finance Director/Assistant Administrator, Cynthia Gillespie: Telephone Auditing
Services
Finance Director/Asst. Administrator Cynthia Gillespie spoke in regards to Walter A. McDermott
Telephone Auditing Services. The company will audit the Town telephone accounts to see if the
charges are correct. The company will verify the physical inventory and all of the phone lines. They also
do a complete review of all telephone bills. If there are errors, in which there is an award of a credit or
refund, the company will receive 50% of this refund for their services. She continued that there will be
no work for any of staff. The Town just signs an authorization for the company to pull the records from
the phone company, BayRing Communications, and they work from there. Some other towns in New
Hampshire have reported that they have used Walter McDermott and have had great success. Mrs.
Gillespie stated that she does not believe the Town has any physical lines that have any issues or
problems. The bills are always being monitored and analyzed. However, as far as, the tax and tariff, it
would be nice to have an outside company look at that. She explained if there are no errors found there is
no charge to the Town for the work.
Selectman Musselman asked when the contract ends. It is stated in the authorization is valid until further
written notification. He suggests a termination date of sixty (60) days.
Motion by Craig Musselman to authorize the Town Administrator to enter into an agreement, as
indicated, with Walter A. McDermott Telephone Auditing Services with a sixty day time frame
from a specified start date. Seconded by Joseph Mills. All in favor.
J. Public Works Director Dennis McCarthy re: Proposals received from the owners of 210
South Road for repaving their driveway (Maple Lane) and the town-owned portion of Maple
Lane.
Public Works Director Dennis McCarthy spoke to the Selectmen regarding the repaving of the
driveway and town road at 210 South Road. The first 175-ft of the driveway is the Town’s right-of-way.
The owners have contacted Bell & Flynn, Inc. and obtained a cost to re-construct the entire length of the
road. The cost of the public portion would be $12,400. Mr. McCarthy is recommending that the
Selectmen allow the entire road to be reconstructed with reimbursement for the Town’s portion back to
the owners. He pointed out that the Town could not do the work for less than what is being proposed.
Also, it will be awhile before the Town is able to repave in this area, as they have other projects and are
not working in the area.
Chairman Jenness asked if this is a piece of road that the Town should be doing.
Mr. McCarthy explained that the road will need to be done eventually. It is not at the top of the list
because this is not a heavily travelled road.
After more discussion, Chairman Jenness stated that she wants it to be clear that the Town is not willing
to give up a piece of the road.
There was discussion on the name of the road. This road is referred to by some as Maple Lane.
The Selectmen agreed that the road should be part of Willow Brook and designated as such.

APPOINTMENTS
A. Board of Adjustment
1. Patricia Weathersby – Letter rec’d 3/29/12
a. Resignation as an Alternate Member (Term ending 4/1/2015).
b. Request for appointment as Member for three years to 4/1/2015.
2. Recommendation from Chairman Frank Drake, Letter rec’d 4/05/12
Motion by Joseph Mills to appoint Patricia Weathersby to the vacant seat until April 1, 2015.
Mae Bradshaw, 106 Harbor Road, speaking on behalf of the Rye Civic League, stated that they are
having a struggle with the process with Ben King’s and Patricia Weathersby’s appointment to the Board
of Adjustment.

Please see attached letter to the Board of Selectmen, dated April 9, 2012, from Mae
Bradshaw, on behalf of the Rye Civic League.
Ms. Bradshaw stated that on March 13, 2012, it was voted in favor, by the Rye Residents, to elect the
members of the Board of Adjustment, rather than have them appointed by the Selectmen. The Rye Civic
League’s position is that the new Board of Adjustment Members must be elected at the next Town
election. There is no authority for the Board of Selectmen to appoint a new member, for a new full term,
under the Statutes. She pointed out that the Statute is quite specific that if the Selectmen were to retain
that jurisdiction it would have to be given in the warrant article, which it was not. If the members are
appointed this may cause problems with them not being official. The Rye Civic League would like to
avert any problems. She referred to RSA 673:12, II; “For an appointed, ex officio, or alternate member,
by the original appointing or designating authority, for the unexpired term.” Those that are in unexpired
8
Unapproved Minutes of April 9, 2012
Please see minutes of April 23, 2012 for approvals/corrections
terms will be able to finish those terms. It does not give authority for filling expired terms. She
understands the two terms that are being filled are expired terms.
Ms. Bradshaw referred to RSA 673:3, II; “Zoning board of adjustment members who are elected shall be
selected for the term provided under RSA 673:5, II. A local legislative body which has previously
provided for the appointment of zoning board of adjustment members may rescind that action by majority
vote and choose to elect board members. The terms of appointed members of zoning boards of
adjustment in municipalities in office on the effective date of an affirmative decision to elect such board
members shall not be affected by the decision. However, when the term of each member expires, each
new member shall be elected at the next regular municipal election for the term provided under RSA
673:5, II.” She continued that RSA 673:12, specifically states that vacancies other than those that need to
be filled for expiration of the term, may be filled by appointment by the rest of the elected board.
However, these are not unexpired terms in this situation. She pointed out that the two positions need to
remain unfilled during the year, with alternates being seated, until next year’s election.
Selectman Musselman suggested tabling the appointment of Patricia Weathersby. Town Counsel Michael
Donovan does not agree with the opinion brought forth. The letter from the Rye Civic League should be
brought to Attorney Donovan’s attention so he may respond. The Selectmen must consider all of the facts
in order to proceed.
Motion by Craig Musselman to table the appointment of Patricia Weathersby until information is
received from Attorney Donovan. Seconded by Joseph Mills.
Vice-Chair Mills asked when the next Board of Adjustment Meeting will be held. He pointed out that
Patricia Weathersby is an alternate and could be seated for the vacant seat.
Chairman Jenness commented that she does not want a “gap” on the BOA. However, this should be fine
to table.
Selectman Musselman stated that everyone has the same concerns. No one wants to have a sitting
member of the BOA, or any of their decisions, challenged because they were not appointed or elected
properly.
Chairman Jenness called for a vote:
All in favor.
Motion passed.
B. Conservation Commission
1. Suzanne McFarland – Letter rec’d 4/40/12. Request for consideration for appointment as
a Member of the Conservation Commission. Ms. McFarland’s term would be for one
year until April 1, 2013, completing the term of Douglas Bordewieck, resigned.
2. Recommendation from Chairman Jim Raynes rec’d 4/05/12.
Motion by Craig Musselman to appoint Suzanne McFarland to the Conservation Commission as a
member for a one year term until 4/1/13. Seconded by Joseph Mills for discussion.

NEW BUSINESS
Vice-Chair Mills said that some residents are of the opinion that the “Beach Access” signs
are a little excessive. The main concern has come from the sign placed at the end of Sawyers
Beach. It is believed that this is on Walsh’s property.
Public Works Director McCarthy will review the location and move the signs if needed.

OLD BUSINESS
A. Lee Arthur, Recreation Director: Request use of the Fire Chief’s vehicle as a second
vehicle at Town Hall. (Tabled 3/26/12)
The Selectmen agreed to table the request until Town Administrator Michael Magnant can be present.
B. Police Chief Walsh: Draft Bicycle Regulations and Walking, Jogging, Running Regulations
(Requested at meeting 3/26/12.)
Bicycle Regulations
Any person propelling a bicycle on any public highway shall ride single file and shall ride as
near to the right side of the roadway as safely practicable.
The Selectmen reviewed the draft.
Referring to the Bicycle Regulations, Police Chief Kevin Walsh pointed out that there will need to be a
section on the event permits for the Selectmen to waive the “single file” riding.
Selectman Musselman suggested signs at the entrances to Rye stating single file riding for bicycles.
The Board agreed.
Motion by Craig Musselman to approve the Bicycle Regulations; Any person propelling a bicycle
on any public highway shall ride single file and shall ride as near to the right side of the roadway as
safely practicable; effective May 1, 2012. Seconded by Joseph Mills. All in favor.
Walking, Jogging, Running Regulations
Any person running, jogging, or walking on any public highway, shall run, jog, or walk single file
and shall do so as near to the left side of the roadway as safely practicable.
Selectman Musselman pointed out that a lot of roads in Rye allow for people to walk off the pavement
and not necessarily be in a single file.
Vice-Chair Mills commented that they do not do that however.
Selectman Musselman suggested adding the words “the pavement”; “on the pavement of any public
highway”.

A Public Hearing is required for a Selectmen’s Ordinance to amend the Parking Ordinance.
The nearest date to hold a Public Hearing is Monday, April 23rd. The next possible date is
Monday, May 14th. Selectmen, please vote a date of the public hearing.
The Selectmen acknowledged the receipt of a letter from Samuel and Dominque Winebaum, 52 Cable
Road, expressing concerns on the proposed amendments to the parking ordinance at 8 and 16 Big Rock
Road.
Police Chief Walsh commented that there is more than enough room for parking off the pavement, while
not being on private property, in this location. Also, it seems that this is the way parking has always been
in this area for some time.
Vice-Chair Mills stated that he does not see a problem with this. The direct abutters, who will be mostly
affected, are in favor.

Public Hearing to be scheduled for May 14, 2012
D. Police Chief Walsh: Copy of Chief Walsh’s letter dated 3/29/12 to Deb Brewer, 167 Clark
Road, in response to Ms. Brewer’s letter of 3/8/12 concerning safety issues at the intersection
of Sagamore Road and Clark Road. (Ms. Brewer’s letter was considered on 3/26/12 and
referred to Chief Walsh for response.)
Police Chief Walsh explained that a letter was sent to Ms. Brewer in response to her letter addressed to
the Selectmen. The Rye Highway Safety Committee has reviewed her concerns and is going to update
the signs in this location. The chevron signs on the center island will be replaced with a higher grade of
reflective material and will be 5-ft from the ground to meet height requirements. Chevron signs will be
added to the far side of the intersection allowing for sufficient visible distance for traffic approaching the
intersection. The stop signs at the intersection will be replaced as well. He will follow up with Ms.
