Readfield Select Board approves warrants, appointments and recreation storage
Summary
At its May 19 meeting the Readfield Select Board unanimously approved warrants and several appointments, authorized purchase of a $4,550 storage trailer for recreation equipment, and set reappointment steps for an Open Space Committee extension to Oct. 31.
The Readfield Select Board voted unanimously on a slate of routine items at its May 19 meeting, approving warrants, appointing election clerks and a recreation committee member, and authorizing a $4,550 purchase to store recreation equipment.
The board approved the minutes of April 29 and accepted warrants 45 and 46 after a brief presentation outlining payments to RSU (large payment noted in the warrant packet), Cushion Construction for ditching and culvert work, New England Salt, Horn Construction and LJB Incorporated for sidewalk engineering and related bills. The board approved the warrants by voice vote; the transcript notes the vote was unanimous but does not record individual tallies.
Christa Hilton was nominated and confirmed to the Readfield recreation committee to complete a two‑year term through June 30, 2027. During her brief remarks she said she has two children involved in recreation activities and homeschools them, and that she hopes to help coordinate volunteer recruitment for programs.
The board also approved the appointment of the full slate of ballot clerks for the June 10 town meeting and election as listed in the meeting packet (names provided). A board member noted that candidates on the ballot were disqualified from participating in counting certain ballots to avoid conflicts of interest.
On a separate motion, the board authorized town staff to purchase a storage container (VIN 714298.8) equipped with a standard passage door to store recreation equipment. Town manager Eric told the board the unit costs $4,550 and that the recreation reserve has approximately $17,000 available for equipment; the motion passed unanimously.
The meeting adjourned at 7:27 p.m.
