Sabattus Select Board approves $2 million bond, confirms election officials and backs composting pilot
Summary
The board accepted a $2 million bond resolution for road work, approved a list of election officials under Title 30‑A, and authorized a grant‑funded compost drop‑off pilot; each item passed by voice vote as recorded in the meeting.
The Sabattus Select Board approved several administrative and fiscal items, including a confirmatory bond resolution authorizing a $2 million borrowing for road projects, a slate of election officials for the 2025–2026 term, and a grant‑funded community compost collection pilot.
Town counsel’s paperwork framed the bond vote as a confirmatory action to enable the municipality to issue up to $2 million in bonds for road work; board members said the financing should close in November and would reimburse certain previously incurred road expenditures.
Earlier in the meeting the board moved to appoint a list of election officials (the transcript cites state statute language from Title 30‑A and Title 21A) and authorized the town clerk to appoint a warden and election clerks from the confirmed list. The board also voted to allow the Sabattus Garden Club to run a bi‑weekly, grant‑funded compost drop‑off at the transfer station for March and April, with the garden club supplying buckets and managing collections.
All three items were presented, moved and carried by voice vote during the regular meeting. The board asked staff to circulate necessary documentation to relevant departments and to confirm timelines and operational details for the compost pilot and the bond closing.
