Board appoints Dana Steele as town engineer, reappoints marine officer and approves small refunds; holiday parade announced
Summary
The Board of Selectmen appointed Dana Steele as town engineer, reappointed Bill Poirier as marine officer, approved a modest current-year refund total, and heard community announcements about the weekend porch-light parade and tree lighting.
At the Dec. 2 meeting the board confirmed several appointments and routine administrative items. Committee member (Speaker 2) moved to appoint Dana Steele as town engineer; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The board also reappointed Bill Poirier as marine officer for the coming term.
Staff member (Speaker 3) presented current-year refunds totaling $141.78; the board approved the refunds on a voice vote. The board and staff discussed tree-warden responsibilities under state statute, including the practice of posting notice for trees in the town right-of-way and the 10-day period for public comment or hearings before removal unless an emergency is declared.
Members closed with community announcements: details were given for the porch-light parade and tree-lighting event (parade route described from Spring Street to the town hall) and the American Legion pancake breakfast on Sunday. The meeting adjourned after a motion to adjourn and a voice vote.
