ANDOVER – Selectmen accepted a low bid of $646 from a printer in Berlin, N.H., for the annual town report at Tuesday night’s meeting.

According to selectmen’s secretary Hope Peterson, the company said it would print 500 copies of the town’s 44-page book and cover for that price, which didn’t include shipping and handling charges.

But, one selectman volunteered to go to Berlin to pick up the books to save the town some money.

Peterson also said that she had sent a congratulatory letter to 7-year-old Katie Merrill, whose drawing of Andover School was selected to grace the report’s cover.

Selectmen expect to complete the March 19 town meeting warrant and town report by the end of January, then send it to the printer.

Before Tuesday night’s meeting, the board and Budget Committee met to discuss proposed budgets for the Transfer Station, the general municipal account and the Recreation Department.

The transfer station budget request is for $65,000; general municipal, $47,000.

The Recreation Department submitted three requests to be placed on the warrant:

• $9,000 for work to be done on Grimaldi Field, which includes backstops, fencing and dugouts.

• $6,000 for equipment and maintenance of the town’s two athletic fields.

• $2,000 for the town’s share of dues to the Greater Rumford Community Center.

In other business, selectmen OK’d paying a $6,098 bill from D&E Sanitation Services for its work in cleaning up the transfer station, and $3,041 for salt for roads.

Selectmen also received a $905 check from the state for snowmobile funds, which Akers said would be turned over to the local snowmobile club.

Road Commissioner Marshall Meisner reported that three of the town’s trucks had broken down, but two had been repaired in-house yesterday.

The third was hauled to Auburn Tuesday to have work done.
