  1. Reviewed and dispersed the mail.
  2. The selectmen read and accepted the minutes from the previous meeting.
  3. Reviewed and signed Warrant #18 ($55,998.95).
  4. The Broadband meeting went well and the article for October 01, 2022 vote has been approved and posted at the Post Office, Flying Pond Variety Store, the Town Office, and the Town Clerk Office.
  5. The Town House parking lot was paved by King & Son Paving. The Selectmen received bids from three companies. King & Son Paving was the lowest bid and provided more earthwork than the other bids (removing rocks from the parking lot). This was paid for from the Waugh Account.
  6. Central Maine Power has proposed changing the town street lights over to LED at no cost to the town. The estimated savings would be $469.65 however the town would be required to sign a 10 year contract with Central Maine Power. Selectmen will sign the contract next Tuesday.
  7. Trask Road Culvert: Jeff has contacted the Army Corps of Engineers, Maine DEP and the State Biologist. The Army Corps of Engineers want to look
    at the project. The Maine DEP gave the town the “green light” as the project is only replacing the current culvert.
  8. Town Revaluation: Jeff has made contact with a few Appraisers about reevaluating the town. The earliest start date will be summer of 2023 and finishing in 2024. The town needs to be brought back to 100% by state statute. When the evaluation is brought back to 100%, the Mill Rate will decrease. This will even out the tax base.
  9. Laura has talked with a town resident on the subject of voting at the special town meeting on 10/01/2022. The resident is concerned about non registered/town residents voting at the meeting. The Town Clerk will check residency.
  10. The selectmen signed a Quit Claim Deed for a property on Route 41.
  11. Meeting adjourned.
