Town Administrator (Mr. Heath) told the board the notice came from the state bureau of business and economic affairs and described the intent to bring power to the dam to improve monitoring during high water and flood conditions. "Reading through what their proposal was, it seemed like a good idea to get full time power to the Sunset Lake Dam," the administrator said.
Selectmen discussed whether the town could charge the state for the use; staff clarified the dam is not owned by the town. The board indicated support for the proposal and asked staff to respond to the state only if there were specific reservations to record.
No formal vote was taken; the board signaled consensus that staff should take a closer look and respond if any concerns emerged.
