CEO REPORT:
Duane made note of an article in the Weekly Packet stating that the town of Blue Hill intends
to hire Duane to work alongside the uncertified person they hired to fill the code enforcement
officer position. This was news to him. If someone with authority from the Town of Blue Hill
calls, he will let them know he’s not interested. Received word from T-Mobile regarding
decommissioning of cell phone tower because they have a better spot. A member of the press
called Duane wanting to know the details about the proposed Horse farm in west Sedgwick. He
let them know that so far, there’s not been any explicit plans and that they weren’t subject to
standard building form, but rather something of this scale would trigger a site plan review
application, long term. He received a call from an appraiser about 126 Caterpillar Hill Road
about commercial use, he thinks it may be going up for sale.
DISCUSSION and/or ACTION ITEMS:
1. Carrie Eaton: The board told Carried that they would look into this. Lyndsey provided
the Board with the current account detail and asked what she was proposing for a
payment arrangement. Carrie did not attend the meeting tonight, but per an earlier
email she would be prepared to pay $250 per month. Motion and 2 nd to accept $250
monthly payment by Carrie Eaton for her parents’ property. Lyndsey will draw up
agreement.
2. Eskay Auto Permit- Yearly renewal permit due to expire on 10/31. Select Board seeing
no issues with the permit, motion and 2 nd to approve as is. 3-0.
3. Signage for Election- Susan and Lyndsey were discussing signage to help people with the
location of voting. Lyndsey will look into sandwich boards and order them.
ASSISTANTS REPORT:
Audit- Amy and Lyndsey started preparing information for testing for Motor Vehicles, taxes and
cash receipting. The next step will be gathering information for the auditors to go over during
their site visit which will be schedule asap.

PUBLIC COMMENTS:
Natalie Moses- Thanked everyone for their time. She lives on Main St. Her reason for attending
was to discuss communications in general specifically regarding the Comprehensive Plan and
the Flags in Town. She was concerned about the lack of attendance at the approval of the Comp
Plan as well as not knowing about the Flags going up and the speed at which this happened. She
asked for clearer explanations on agendas. The board thanked her and will let her know that we
are working on better communication. There was discussion around a link on the email to
current meeting minutes as well as the plan for a newsletter. Natalie provided Lyndsey with her
phone number and offered to assist with the newsletter if needed.
The board asked Justin Franklin to be on the public access committee. He tentatively agreed.
The board will work on finding more names for this committee to be active again.
ADJOURN:
