The North Haven Select Board took several administrative and operational votes at its Dec. 4 meeting.
Minutes: The board approved the Nov. 6, 2024 minutes by voice vote.
Sewer generator: The board approved a motion to purchase a portable Honda generator for sewer operations, authorizing spending up to $6,500 to cover the quoted $6,000 unit plus tax and incidentals. The generator is intended to support multiple lift stations and reduce the need to move existing standby units.
Chemical transport contingency: In response to an immediate ferry licensing issue, the board voted to contact the island transporter and attempt to schedule a shipment so the town can continue receiving disinfectant chemicals pending clarification from ferry and state authorities.
Grant support: The board authorized staff to sign a support letter for a Community Action Grant application (up to $75,000, no town match) to fund engineering and design work addressing saltwater intrusion at Fresh Pond. Staff reported that Ransom & Ransom and other consultants are assisting with scope and community engagement.
Parade permit: The board approved a request from the school for a homecoming parade on Dec. 17 at 5:00 p.m., with coordination from the deputy and fire department. The motion passed by voice vote.
