The Rumford Select Board approved a package of routine administrative items at its May 7 meeting, including a pole permit on Maine Avenue and an MOU with the Maine Redevelopment Land Bank Authority (MRLBA). Brennick moved and DiConzo seconded both motions; each passed 4‑0.
Other approved items included countersigning the RSU 10 warrant upon receipt, appointment of election wardens, Warrant #44 approval, approval of minutes from March 5, a Memorial Day parade permit, and authorization for the Town Manager to send a letter to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers requesting a flood‑plain study. The board also approved a July 11 building rental and redeemed two tax‑acquired properties with payment deadlines: 1430 Route 2 (60 days) and 13 Erchles Street (14 days). Where recorded, votes were unanimous or routine (several items recorded as 4‑0; Warrant #44 recorded 3‑0‑1).
Two proposed traffic items drew no action: a stop sign at Hancock Street and Rumford Avenue and a no‑thru‑trucks motion for Swift River Park. The meeting concluded after three executive sessions (personnel, legal counsel, economic development) and an adjournment vote.
