CEO REPORT-

Duane had heard lots of rumors about the owner of the campground in Deer Isle, he spoke with the Planning Board Chair in Deer Isle and none of those rumors were true, they had nothing but good things to say.  Duane has been in contact with Mrs. Bridges regarding a new construction going up on N. Sedgwick Rd. Jeff Gray is doing the septic. Carter Point ROW -ongoing Susan is still to meet with Jennifer when she’s ready. Town has zero issues. There is a project Duan is following on Franks Flat that James Friend is head of. Another set of permits received from contractors/plumber of a new construction at 55 Acadian Oak. Nothing else pressing at the moment, just a reminder of the Public Hearing on May 1st.

Chief/PB Business-

DISCUSSION and/or ACTION ITEMS:

  1. Mildred Gray Taxes- Lyndsey contact MMA about next steps- in reading their response it appears there is a lot more leg work that needs to be done. Barry will get with Lyndsey to discuss what’s next.
  2. ACO Contract- The County of Hancock had not yet received our signed Animal Control contract for 2025- the Board will sign, and it will be submitted on Friday.
  3. Wiring, Phone, computer lines moved, upgrades- with all of the changes happening in cleaning the office we’ve come across various things in the office needing upgrading, including the phone lines which consolidated says are outdated. Susan wanted to let the other board members know that we would be needing to spend some money in the next few months to add outlets, move writing and upgrade phone wires. One step closer to a cleaner more efficient workplace.
  4. Comprehensive Plan- for Levine- After many edits the draft is ready to be submitted to the review committee. The board will sign off on the draft and will wait to hear on the next steps. Jerry submitted an invoice for Lavine, Susan has already turned over to the treasurer for payment.
