Selectman asks town attorney about Blue Seal plug, takeover of Dunlavey Avenue water lines and housing-code enforcement
Summary
Selectman Alan Fletcher asked the board to contact the town attorney about installing a Blue Seal plug that remains uninstalled, the legal steps for the town potentially taking over water lines on Dunlavey Avenue, and what code tools to use for housing enforcement; the minutes record requests for attorney consultation, not legal determinations.
Selectman Alan Fletcher asked Aug. 18 that the town consult the attorney on several water and housing matters: the installation of a Blue Seal plug that has not yet been installed, the legal process for the town to consider taking over water lines on Dunlavey Avenue, and how to enforce housing codes with Brian (staff) to identify appropriate enforcement tools.
The minutes list the three consultation items but record no attorney response or legal action during the meeting. The board asked staff to initiate contact with counsel about the Blue Seal plug and the Dunlavey Avenue lines; the minutes do not specify timelines, costs, or statutory citations that might govern either matter.
On housing-code enforcement, Fletcher asked staff to discuss with Brian what to use to enforce housing codes. The minutes do not identify the specific code sections, whether inspections have occurred, or whether owners have been given prior notices.
These items were recorded as requests for legal guidance and staff follow-up rather than formal board determinations.
