At their June 15 meeting the Rome Board of Selectmen approved renewal of an Inter-Local Waste Disposal Agreement with the town of Belgrade and accepted a $380 cash donation for the Rome Food Cupboard.
The minutes record that the inter-local waste disposal agreement with Belgrade was discussed and approved for signing; the minutes do not specify who moved or seconded that approval. Separately, Philip Burnworth moved to accept $380 in cash donations for the Rome Food Cupboard; the motion was seconded by Larry DiPietro and passed 3-0.
Board members also discussed a prospective snowplow contract with Pavement Plus covering Oct. 1, 2027 through June 1, 2028; the minutes state the contract is to be written but record no formal vote on its terms. Road Commissioner Carroll Bubar reported he has a contractor lined up to clear the intersection of Route 225 and Mercer Road using a mulcher, and he said he wants to trim trees on Town Beach Road and add gravel. CEO Dave Savage reported that the Travis Mills project is the largest ongoing project at this time and that other work is proceeding normally.
Julie Morrison, Town Clerk, reported the Superintendent’s Office offered to reimburse the town for additional postage incurred because state referendum and school budget absentee ballots had to be mailed separately.
