Readfield select board re-elects leadership, approves slate of appointments and interlocal agreements
Summary
At its June 22 meeting the Readfield Select Board re-elected Sean Kegan as chair and named Dave Clinton vice chair, approved multiple municipal appointments and agreements unanimously, and accepted a school board resignation while discussing how to fill the vacancy.
Readfield’s Select Board re-elected Sean Kegan as chair and appointed Dave Clinton vice chair at its June 22 regular meeting, moving quickly through a slate of routine and substantive votes that were approved unanimously.
The board approved minutes from the June 8 meeting and voted to accept warrants numbered 51 and 52. The warrant line items discussed included payments for assessing work, park-related charges billed to a regional development authority, municipal services and tipping fees. The total warrant amount as read aloud in the packet was garbled in the transcript and was not clarified during the meeting.
The board reappointed a slate of volunteer board and committee members listed in the meeting packet and assigned members to quarterly warrant review duties and several standing committees. It also reappointed municipal officials: the board moved to appoint Eric Dyer to multiple roles—town manager, road commissioner, tax collector, treasurer and public access officer—and approved that appointment unanimously.
Other formal approvals included a second reading and adoption of the town’s policy on game officials and compensation; authorization for the town manager to sign a land‑trust project agreement as approved at town meeting; and approval of an interlocal agreement with the town of Wayne for code enforcement officer and local plumbing inspector services (the board noted voters had already approved that agreement at town meeting). The board reported that a consent agreement reached in an earlier executive session with property owner Heather Lawrence was approved; according to the manager’s summary the agreement includes steps to correct ordinance issues and provides partial reimbursement of legal costs to the town.
The meeting closed with scheduling decisions: the board discussed its annual goal‑setting retreat and agreed on a tentative date of Aug. 24, with the regular meeting beginning at 5:30 p.m. and the retreat to follow. The board adjourned after taking the actions above.
