Department Heads:
Christie Phelps: Christie reported that she e-mailed both Keith McBey and Brackley Shaw again in order to receive a final list of items to be done on the building and the pricing. A price has been received from Arthur Barron on the
floor drain project. Christie has been working on entering assessing changes
and subdivisions into the computer. Christie said that a gentleman called her and asked if he would be allowed to build upward on Iris Holden’s place on the river. She was told that the applicant would have to talk with the state first to determine shoreland protection, etc. The building permit may need to be changed to ask are you within 250’ of a protected waterway.
Don Gangemi: Don said that he attended the recent highway committee meeting. Besides himself, Dale Robie, Larry Stickney, Dennis Ford and Jeff Cantara were present. A list of options on cabs and chassis and accessories were reviewed. They came up with a list of specifications for the new vehicle. It was a very productive meeting. Don let Bill Hall know that they missed his input. Bill explained that two days notice is not enough for him. Don replied that the committee has decided to meet the first Wednesday of every other month at 6:00 p.m. at the highway garage.

With regard to the bridge, it is up to any person who wishes to repair the bridge to bring a plan to the selectmen for approval.
