Duane reported that he had received a proposal from NRFA regarding the work being done at Stumpy Cove. Residents at 157 Carter Point Road are having a replacement septic system put in. The Campground development is well underway, and they are almost at the point of the privy systems being put in. Duane will be monitoring this closely. Duane has been receiving lots of calls regarding parking at the town dock. The parking spots are limited and for folks using the town dock. Duane was in contact with members of the Harbor Committee. There has been a complaint from a neighbor at Snow’s Cove rd. Two neighbors are having various disputes. The town has not position at this point unless there has been a plumbing violation. Duane is aware of the situation.

 Discussion and/or Action Items:

  1. Taxes: Combs and Eaton- Barry asked for an update of those on payment arrangements for back due taxes. She let them know that Mr. Combs had been in with a check and his sister also with a check. She would have to check the records regarding Mr. Eaton’s payment status. She let them know that Mr. Gordon had been in with a payment, and that all others were mostly on track. Will revisit some of this at the next meeting.

  3. End of Year- Monday June 30th the office will close at 12pm to allow Lyndsey and Amy to close out the end of fiscal year. All of the state agencies will be cut checks and mailed asap as they also follow fiscal year procedures. They will then begin to prepare for the upcoming audit.

Unresolved Business:

  1. The fax machine is down and Consolidated says that the fax line doesn’t belong to them, so we are researching this situation.

Motion ant 2nd to gather estimates and upgrade telephone communication lines. 3-0 approved.
  2. There was discussion of bushes being overgrown on public roadways. Barry will reach out and see if there is someone the town could contract to help with trimming bushes and trees.

 Assistants Report:

  1. Lyndsey just wanted to note for the record that Colleen is in fact still doing the 911 addressing for the town. She will be measuring and assigning the numbers but the town will be working with Paul Carter and crew to put any new signs up for addresses.
  2. On that note- need to order a replacement street sign for Sedgwick Ridge Road as it is spelled incorrectly.
