1.         Laurie Whitley congratulated Ed and Karel for being re-elected for another term and thanked them for their continued service to the Town.  Referring to the Municipal Needs Committee Minutes of March 4, 2008 and the supporting material about Warrant Articles 9 & 10, Ms. Whitley asked how this information could have been included in the mailing that arrived in individual’s homes on Friday, March 7th.  She stated that her point is that someone in the MNC is not following the chain of command and released this information to the Moultonboro Citizen’s Alliance prior to the Selectmen viewing it.  Tom Howard, Chairman of the RSPT, clarified that the actual memo was not mailed, but what was mailed contained the same information.  Ms. Whitley stated that she does not expect the Selectmen to provide answers, but felt that appropriate procedures need to be followed and it was a misuse of information.  Ralph Carrasco, Chairman of the MNC, commented that this is the first he’s heard of this and didn’t know the information had been distributed.  He added that the memo was emailed to the Selectmen on Wednesday at 4:00 pm.  Hope reported that the email was not opened until the next day, Thursday and was included in the Selectmen’s packet even though it was a late submission.  She added that Barbara Rando sent an email on Tuesday, asking for the MNC to be on the Agenda, under Old Business for open issues.  There was no attachment to this email.  Karel responded that the MNC is given its charge by the Selectmen.  Mr. Howard provided a copy of what was sent out by the Moultonboro Citizen’s Alliance to the Selectmen.  Ms. Whitley stressed that her point is that all committees report to the Selectmen and need to follow the same procedures to make information public.  Hollis Austin asked if the Moultonboro Citizen’s Alliance is being accused of something.  Karel replied that the point of this is that information was disclosed before it came to the Selectmen.  Ms. Whitley stated that her concern is that someone in the MNC distributed information prematurely.  Mr. Howard replied to Mr. Austin that the information that was presented to the Selectmen on March 6th was received in people’s homes on March 7th and the heading on the document was Moultonboro Citizen’s Alliance.  Mr. Carrasco, as Chairman, apologized and stated that he would look into this issue.
2.         Freddie Gale presented to the Selectmen her letter of resignation as Chair of the Senior Needs

V.        PUBLIC MEETING:
 
1.         Recreational Advisory Board:  Carla Taylor, representing the Recreational Advisory Board, presented the Selectmen with the RAB’s monthly report.  She stated that they have just had a working session and received public input.  Ms. Taylor stated that they have had some success with setting up protocol for the meetings, but continue to struggle with communicating back to the public.  The RAB is requesting information from the Selectmen concerning the Senior Needs Committee.  They would like to know if the Selectmen authorized the Committee, its purpose, the mission statement and if they are independent of the Recreation Department.  Karel recalled that the Senior Needs Committee was formed at least six years ago and were charged to identify the needs and to locate a building/place to conduct activities.  Initially the Committee was awarded a grant and they developed a vision of a building for the Town’s seniors to conduct activities in.  She speculated that once the grant money ran out not much occurred after that.  Karel added that she is unaware how often the Committee meets as
