Summary

Town Manager Sara J. Liscomb reported budget constraints for training, outlined Lobster Festival plans, said she will sign paperwork for a Rural Community Development opportunity with HCPC, and noted new floats lack sufficient flotation and will be inspected.

Town Manager Sara J. Liscomb told the Winter Harbor Selectmen on July 28 that training costs and the number of mandatory classes for staff mean the town cannot fund a budget committee member’s class this year. The minutes record the manager’s assessment of the budgetary constraint but do not provide a dollar figure.

Liscomb also said Lobster Festival plans were proceeding: the parade remains a major draw and the festival has added a car show and cornhole games for Friday night. She said she would be signing paperwork related to a Rural Community Development opportunity and would work with HCPC on the effort. The minutes do not specify the program name, funding amount, or HCPC’s full legal name.

On a facilities note, the minutes state new floats were put in the water and “do not have enough flotation.” The manager said M. Young will inspect the floats and determine whether repairs or modifications are needed; the minutes offer no timetable or cost estimate for the work.

No motions or votes attached to these manager updates were recorded in the minutes.
