TURNER — Town Manager Kurt Schaub presented selectmen Monday night with a sample municipal budget for 2016-17 that holds spending to current levels.

It meets the goal by mainly trimming the paving/construction account by $65,000.

Schaub also provided a spreadsheet showing the progress of the Budget Committee’s work for fiscal 2017. Cemetery and Public Works budgets will be discussed Tuesday, Feb 2; Code Enforcement and the Rescue budgets on Wednesday, Feb. 3.

Rescue Chief Toby Martin told selectmen that the department will improve service by using computer software to create service zones.

He also said the estimate to install heat tape on the roof of the Rescue Barn is $3,000, not including wiring and installation. However, he is looking at improving heat distribution in the building to help stop the leaky roof.

Selectman Ralph Caldwell spoke about enlisting residents in labeling photographs at the Turner Historical Museum. He said those working on the project have done an amazing job so far, but many of the old photographs are not captioned. He underscored the importance of preserving the information for future generations.

Fire Chief Rodney Guptill told selectmen that Ross Gagne retired as deputy fire chief this week.

Snowman Printing of Herman was awarded the contract to print the annual town report with a potential savings of $353.66 for an 88-page booklet. The town will have 2,400 copies printed.

The public is invited to comment on proposed design standards for commercial buildings, as well as other building ordinance amendments, at the Planning Board’s hearing at 7 p.m. Feb. 10 at the Town Office.

Mary Briggs will present her committee’s report on town buildings at the next selectmen meeting Tuesday, Feb. 16, at the Town Office.
