Selectpersons discuss animal control response, allow private meeting and return from executive session
Summary
The Selectpersons directed the clerk to ask the county when its animal control officer will return and what backup plans exist after a dog‑bite call, allowed Joe Coffey to meet with the Settler's Landing Road Association, and held an executive session on personnel matters.
During selectperson comments the board addressed a recent after‑hours dog‑bite incident that highlighted a gap in County animal control coverage. Selectperson Bill Birdsall said dispatch could not contact the County ACO; Adam Foster reported he received a similar call. The board voted 5–0 to have the clerk draft a letter to the County asking when the ACO will return and what back‑up arrangements exist when the ACO is absent.
Jack Bridges relayed an email from Town Attorney Dan Pileggi regarding Joe Coffey; the board voted unanimously to allow Joe Coffey to meet with the Settler's Landing Road Association.
The Selectpersons entered executive session at 7:06 p.m. under 1 M.R.S.A. §405(6)(A) to discuss personnel matters, exited at 7:58 p.m., and then voted 5–0 for Selectperson Carol Lowrie to assist Road Commissioner George Moon with fact‑finding as requested. The meeting adjourned at 8:02 p.m.
