CEO Report:

Duane’s report this week included updates on the Glamp ground progress. He has spoken to Caleb, who says that his first permit by rule has been obtained.  He is also making changes to the outhouses and those will require new permits. Duane will not sign off on the current permits with these changes. Duane will be meeting with Don Hill; Friends of Walker Pond, to review the glamp ground site for clarification on some things as well as to take him around the properties on Walker Pond to review the construction that has been done and that is in progress.

 

Discussion and/or Action Items:

  1. Strong’s Brewery Liquor License- No reported issues. Motion and 2nd to approve the 2025 liquor license as submitted. 3-0 approved. Lyndsey will approve online, as the process is all digital now.
  2. Office Hours- Lyndsey has recommended a change in office hours for the time being. This would allow for training of the new deputy, to keep up with special projects and reporting through the busy season. The proposed schedule would be Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday 9am to 3pm, Thursday 9am to 5:30pm and Friday 9am to 1pm. Motion and 2nd to approve proposed schedule. There was some discussion of logistics – Lyndsey will be more than happy to accommodate people, if need be, during this time, and there may be a “lighter load” day that could be open later. We will post this change in the paper, online, and around town and it will take effect on 6/16. Approved 3-0.

 

  1. Warrant Schedule-

There has been some discussion lately checks needing to be cut prior to a warrant cycle. The norm has always been weekly warrants and checks being cut upon receipt. The law does state that checks can’t go out the door until a warrant is signed. Amy, the interim treasurer, is working on a lot of things behind the scenes and is running the warrants bi-weekly to have time on the off weeks to do other things. A lengthy discussion was had regarding paychecks and payables. Lyndsey asked that the board have a discussion with Amy to come to an agreement. The hope that we can keep from having to put out fires by letting people know well in advance how the new schedule is going to go. Susan will ask Amy to speak with them next week.

  1. Quarterly News-

Lyndsey has been doing research on how to put together a newsletter. We have the ability with our current email system to do so. The thought would be a digital letter for now and to figure out what the cost and time would be to publish a paper copy. The board would like Sabrina to work on this.

 

New Business

Barry Damon called and asked to speak to the town about taxes. He told Lyndsey he may come to the meeting next Thursday to discus

 

Adjourn-

Motion and 2nd to adjourn. 3-0 approved at 6:38pm.

 

 

Respectfully Submitted,

Lyndsey Dow
