Select board approves Mid Coast Humane contract, reviews road bids and appointments
Summary
The Bristol select board approved a 2025 animal-control services agreement with Mid Coast Humane, signed warrant copies and reviewed road bid packages, appointments, and other routine town-office business.
The Bristol select board voted to approve a 2025 services agreement with Mid Coast Humane for animal-control services and arranged for municipal signing copies.
A board member moved to approve the Mid Coast Humane agreement for 2025 and another seconded the motion; the chair distributed copies and directed that each municipal officer sign a copy. The staff noted that the contract reflects price increases but the services remain the same.
In other routine business, the board reviewed planned road bid packages for paving, shoulder work and trim brushing; staff and public-works personnel prepared the specifications and expected to post the RFPs shortly with a targeted due date in April. An estimate from a contractor (Hanley) was discussed for shouldering work on Upper Round Pond and Foster Road.
The board previewed annual appointments, including replacements for the veterans memorial committee and potential planning-board alternates; staff set a May 17 deadline for alternate applications and said candidates would be presented at the June 19 meeting.
The town office reported construction inspection work starting for the summer and survey work on the lighthouse bluff; staff also updated members on a shellfish-lottery grievance that was reviewed by the Department of Marine Resources, which recommended clarifying payment windows in the local lottery plan.
The meeting concluded with notices of upcoming meetings and an adjournment motion.
