SELECTMEN’S COMMENTS:

Selectman Curless reported on Planning Board Membership noting that a couple of the members have been unable to attend meetings on a regular basis. The Planning Board has requested that the Select Board contact those individuals to ask them to consider resignation from the Planning Board.  Non-attendance is affecting the Planning Board’s productivity.  The Planning Board is currently updating site plan and subdivision regulations.  Future projects are update of the CIP and Master Plan.  Non-attendance has also resulted in a lack of a quorum.

Selectman Wright discussed various articles in the latest Town and City Magazine.

The Board discussed the 2018 budget process as well as the process for sale of tax deeded properties.

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 4:47 p.m.

 

Respectfully submitted,

 

Elly Phillips, Town Administrator
