Summary
The Select Board approved a KV COG contract to provide code enforcement services and hire Jeff Drew; it also backed Camp Laurel crosswalks, moved payroll/invoice deadlines to noon Friday (personnel policy amended), approved higher tire disposal fees, and adjourned. Some motions lacked mover/second names in the transcript.
At its recent meeting the Mount Vernon Select Board recorded the following formal actions:
- KV COG contract and CEO hire: Motion to contract with Kennebec Valley Council of Governments for regional code enforcement and to hire Jeff Drew; board approved (vote recorded as affirmative by five members present). Contract: 19 months, $37,350 total (~$1,965/month). (Transcript does not name the mover/second.)
- Camp Laurel crosswalks and Route 41 changes: Motion to support DOT installation of two crosswalks and associated speed changes presented by DOT and Camp Laurel; board approved (vote recorded as '5 to sign that').
- Payroll/invoice submission deadline change: Motion to change chapter 4 of the financial policy to require payroll and invoices submitted by 12:00 noon Friday (rather than 5:00 p.m.), and an amendment to the personnel policy to match; board moved and recorded support (transcript indicates approval; mover/second not specified in transcript).
- Tire disposal fee increase: Board discussed rising disposal costs; motion proposed to set passenger/motorcycle/light truck tire fee at $6 and large tractor/F450 tires at $30 to cover the town’s disposal charges (currently $4 and $25). The motion was moved, seconded, and administrative follow‑up assigned to the transfer station; transcript does not include a formal recorded tally.
- Adjournment: Motion to adjourn; vote recorded as '5 Z'.
Notes on transcript completeness: Several motions in the minutes were moved and seconded but the transcript does not capture the names of individual movers and seconders for every motion. Where vote totals were spoken they are reported above as read in the record. The Select Board directed staff to implement and notify relevant departments (e.g., transfer station, town office) following the votes.
