Summary

Town Manager Sara J. Liscomb told the Selectmen that training costs for staff constrain paying for a budget committee member class, reported that the Lobster Festival parade and new events are proceeding, and said newly installed floats lack sufficient flotation and will be inspected.

Town Manager Sara J. Liscomb reported on several operational items at the July 28 meeting. She said that after reviewing the budget and the number of classes required for herself and another staff member ('Misti'), she did not see how the town could pay for a budget committee member to take a class this year. She also reported that Lobster Festival preparations are "coming together," with a large parade and new additions including a car show and cornhole on Friday night.

Liscomb also said that the new floats put in the water do not have enough flotation and that M. Young will examine them to determine what can be done. She noted she will sign paperwork to pursue a Rural Community Development Opportunity and work with HCPC on that item. These were recorded as informational updates in the minutes; no motions or votes are recorded on these items.
