Town Manager reports office closures, CVR2 training and infrastructure updates; Budget Committee seeks clarity on meeting‑place policy
Summary
Winter Harbor town manager announced a March 24 training closure, an unforeseen office closure on May 8 and staffing needs for the Planning Board; Fire/Road Commissioner reported dock repairs and a plan to pave when plants open in late spring.
Town Manager Sara J. Liscomb told selectmen on March 23 that the Town Office will close on March 24 for mandatory CVR2 training and will also be closed on May 8 because of unforeseen circumstances. Liscomb said nomination papers remain available and the town needs volunteers for the Planning Board.
D. Mitchell described a new "Sunshine Program" established by the two police departments and explained the program’s setup. The Fire/Road Commissioner reported that the dock has been repaired and new cement poured; paving is scheduled when plants open in late spring and sweepers have been contacted to begin road work in early May so striping can follow.
Budget Committee member S. Fortin thanked the board for approving new committee members and asked whether the new Meeting Place Policy limits the Budget Committee’s ability to hold meetings at other locations; minutes record the question but not a formal resolution.
Why it matters: the operational closures affect when residents can access town services; the infrastructure timeline provides a near‑term schedule for road work and paving that may affect traffic and local access.
During public comment, S. Fortin asked whether there is a new ordinance; the minutes record the question but do not include an answer.
The meeting adjourned at 7:37 p.m.
