Summary
At its July 15 meeting the Hanover Selectboard voted to keep Narcan (naloxone) in the town office, agreed to remove a cemetery fence without replacing it, and signed a contract with Casella for waste services; the board also noted a $36,000 increase in the school budget and discussed transfer-station scales.
HANOVER, Maine — The Hanover Selectboard on July 15 decided the town office will keep Narcan (naloxone) on hand for emergency use, voted to remove a cemetery fence without replacing it, and signed a contract with Casella for waste services, the board reported at its meeting at the Hanover Town Office.
The actions were recorded on the meeting agenda and minutes. The board debated routine business and heard reports from the town clerk before moving to new business. Selectboard members also noted that the school budget rose by $36,000, a change officials said will require adjustments during the fall budgeting process.
On cemetery maintenance, the board agreed to take down the existing fence and not replace it, a maintenance decision recorded in the minutes. The transcript shows the board reached consensus on removal but does not record a formal motion, vote tally, or the fence's exact location or reason for removal.
Regarding Narcan, meeting notes state the board was asked whether the town office should carry naloxone and "the Board decided yes." The minutes do not supply a mover, second, or vote count; the decision was recorded as the board's determination.
Selectperson Jim Barker reported work at the transfer station, saying the town is planning to set up scales in about three months and that a presentation by a scale company is scheduled for July 17 at 6 p.m. The minutes also record that the board signed a contract with Casella for trash/waste services during this meeting.
The board noted that FEMA still has one more day to complete a site review and that John O'Donnell's fee for unspecified services is increasing; the minutes do not specify the new fee amount. Rapid Renewal inquired whether the board still wanted to continue with the program; the minutes record the inquiry but no final action on that item.
The Selectboard reviewed and signed warrants, adjourned at 5 p.m., and set its next meeting for Monday, Aug. 19, 2024, at 3:30 p.m.
