- Mr. McBride expressed his concern over the condition of the Klir Beck Road. McBride stated that Klir Beck Road is the only Road in town that has not been graded. The selectmen explained how the grader had broken down but is now fixed. The selectmen will contact the company responsible for grading to see when it is scheduled.
- The Maine Revenue review (sales ration analysis) was completed and returned to the town. The town went up 1% - we are now at 92% assessment of the properties in town. This puts us at a compliance level to be at 100%, thus taxpayers will continue to receive 100% of their exemptions – Homestead, Veterans, Blind, etc.
- Discussed the up coming special town meeting. The special town meeting will be in regard to the cell tower ordinance and officially establishing a Board of Appeals. Selectmen will also have an article asking to transfer $10,000 from surplus to the legal account in case it is needed during the pending appeal from the Cell Tower Company.
- Dan Onion and Lidie Robbins discussed the recent ditching of town roads. Due to the large amounts of rain some ditches have begun to wash out. The ditches were not seeded and hayed immediately upon completion. The ditching has since been seeded and hayed. Onion and Robbins provided the town with photos of the erosion and information on erosion control. This issue has been brought to the attention of Dan Goucher, Road Commissioner.
