Otisfield Board accepts auditor bid contingent on inquiries, continues Bolsters Mill foreclosure
Summary
In executive session the Select Board accepted James Moore and Company's audit proposal contingent on satisfactory responses from the current auditor, moved to continue the foreclosure process on the Bolsters Mill property (May 1, 2026), and agreed that future pay increases should combine cost‑of‑living adjustments and performance evaluations.
The Select Board entered executive session at 7:57 p.m. under 1 MRSA §405(6)(C) (property acquisition/use) and §405(6)(D) (labor contracts) and reconvened at 8:38 p.m. After the closed session the board voted unanimously to accept the proposal from James Moore and Company to provide auditing services, contingent on the current auditor providing satisfactory responses to inquiries. The motion to accept the proposal was recorded as mover: Brendan Bedell; seconder: Anne Pastore and noted as unanimous in the minutes.
The minutes record a motion to continue the foreclosure process on the foreclosed Bolsters Mill property with a May 1, 2026 continuation date. The transcript records the motion but does not specify a mover, seconder or recorded vote in the minutes. The board also discussed employee pay increases; Chairman Hal Ferguson said he would like any increases to reflect both cost‑of‑living adjustments and performance evaluations, and the board agreed to that approach (no formal motion recorded).
