Meeting at a glance: West Bath Select Board — motions, public comment, and executive session
Summary
The Select Board recorded motions to approve the warrant, solicit bids for surplus IT equipment, form a climate resilience committee after a $60,000 grant, and to adjourn to executive session for personnel evaluation; a public commenter noted a county tax increase and a $20,000 check tied to a solar tower revenue share.
The West Bath Select Board recorded several procedural motions and public comments in its recent meeting. A motion to approve the warrant was made and seconded; the transcript records the motion, second, and a call for the vote but does not include a recorded tally. The board also moved and seconded to solicit bids on excess computer inventory and to form a climate resilience committee (motion corrected on the record from three to five members). A motion was made to adjourn to executive session under "2 MRSA section 4056A" for personnel evaluation; the transcript includes the motion and discussion of a submitted letter but does not include the subsequent vote tally.
In public comment, a resident reported the county finalized a 9.88 increase on the county tax and said the town received a $20,000 check related to the solar tower; the commenter asked about revenue-sharing arrangements and whether the county had rented tower space yet. The transcript does not include any county response or documentation of the tax figure.
