The Town of Rome Board of Selectmen on May 4 approved a revised Administrative Assistant job description, granted a State-issued liquor license to Harvest Thyme and approved the minutes from the April 21 meeting. The meeting began at 6:03 p.m. and adjourned at 7:38 p.m.
Julie Morrison, Town Clerk, Tax Collector and BMV agent, presented the revised Administrative Assistant job description and the board adopted the changes. Philip Burnworth moved to use the newly revised job description; Kelly Archer seconded and the motion passed 2-0. The board agreed the new description will be posted on the town website.
The selectmen also approved an application from Harvest Thyme for a State-issued liquor license. Burnworth moved to approve the license application, Archer seconded and the motion carried 2-0.
On information technology, Morrison and the selectmen discussed upgrading the town's TRIO software to TRIO WEB. They agreed that initiating the upgrade in late July to August would be a better window than an immediate transition; no formal action was recorded beyond that scheduling agreement.
Morrison reported on a mandatory Civic Plus website migration. She and Archer attended two three-hour training sessions; Morrison cautioned that not all items may transfer automatically and said the office will work to repopulate any missing documents before the new site goes live.
Administrative notices included that absentee ballots for the State primary will be available soon and that Inland Fish and Wildlife currently lacks sufficient stock of ATV registration stickers. Morrison said that only new ATV registrations will be handled in person for the time being and that re-registrations are being asked to be completed online until supplies are replenished.
A review of town policies listed under Old Business was tabled to the next meeting. The selectmen moved to adjourn at 7:38 p.m.; Burnworth made the motion, Archer seconded and the motion passed 2-0. The next regularly scheduled Selectboard meeting is May 18, 2026, at 6:00 p.m.
