Select Board approves warrants, keeps transfer station under Public Works; trash pickup delayed for storm
Summary
At its Jan. 22 meeting Limington’s Select Board approved meeting minutes and warrants totaling $128,612.71, confirmed the transfer station and grounds remain under the Public Works director per the adopted budget, and announced a townwide trash pickup delay to Jan. 28 because of an approaching storm; the Oldtown Hall will operate as a warming center.
Limington’s Select Board on Jan. 22 approved minutes and warrants, confirmed town operations for the transfer station remain under the Public Works director, and announced weather-related changes to service and a temporary warming center.
The board approved the Jan. 15 meeting minutes and then voted to approve Warrant No. 6 for $34,864.96 and Appropriations Warrant No. 7 for $93,747.75, a combined total of $128,612.71. Chair called for the question and the motions passed by voice vote.
During the office-hours update, staff said the buildings and grounds functions and the transfer station will remain under the Public Works director as previously budgeted; because the budget already designated that arrangement, no additional vote was required. The board said they had discussed the proposal at length in office hours and decided not to move the transfer station into its own department.
Public Works warned of a major storm and announced there will be no trash pickup Monday, Jan. 26; townwide pickup will occur Wednesday, Jan. 28, and residents were asked not to set barrels out early to avoid plow disturbance. Officials also announced the Oldtown Hall would be open as a warming center Friday through Sunday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; contact information was provided for residents with questions.
Department updates included the fire department’s weekly report (16 calls that week, including 13 EMS calls), code-enforcement permit counts and fees for the week ($2,870.90), parks-and-rec program notices, and staffing and maintenance work reported by Public Works.
What’s next: The board scheduled routine follow-up and asked staff to continue posting updated agendas and materials on the town website to increase public access.
