man John O’Brien, thanking representatives from each department who were pres- ent at the meeting. Selectman Kevin Hayes made the suggestion for the liberty elm trees, which may only be purchased from one specific vendor, and vary in price based on size of the tree. Along with the elms, a $3,000 flagpole will be placed in the park, though the board has raised only about $600 in donations. O’Brien voiced a concern about the safety of the ex- pensive ornaments planned for the park. “What if a car ever goes in there? How do we protect the trees and the flag pole?” asked O’Brien, raising an is- sue that will remain with the project as it nears construc- tion. According to O’Brien, the project should be done by Sept. 11. In other business, Vice Chairman Gus Benavides brought up the issue of fund- ing for the ice rink building maintenance. According to Benavides, Mountaintop Builders put in the low bid, saving taxpayers about $2,000. Members of the board voted unanimous- ly to deduct about $3,000 from town funds set aside for such projects. Selectmen set a date for a Summer Town Meeting for Aug. 10 at 6 p.m. The annual meeting for seasonal resi- dents will serve as a public forum to discuss issues such as the proposed reduction of the Potter Hill Road speed limit, for which 41 individu- als recently signed a peti- tion. Additionally, Katherine Dormody, Gilford Public Li- brary director, updated se- lectmen on the summer read- ing program and other li- brary affairs. “We are on our third week of the summer reading pro- gram. There are still four weeks left, so there is still time to sign up,” said Dor- mody. Dormody spoke of prizes for those entered in the sum- mer reading program, such as the 100 Water Country tickets for the first 100 read- ers who reach a certain point in the program. Friends of the Gilford Public Library and local businesses donat- ed other prizes for the pro- gram, as well. As part of the summer reading program, the library hosted “Reptiles on the Move” on July 12, which brought more than 100 guests to the library meeting room, according to Dormody. Lastly, Dormody remind- ed the board that the library building will have its third birthday party Aug. 18. Li- brary staff will commemo- rate their third year in the new building with cake served all day.
