Summary

Edie Drinkwater told the Selectmen that the town office has experienced recurring problems sending and receiving mail, with items arriving late or not at all; the issue appears to extend beyond local postal problems and is affecting town correspondence.

Edie Drinkwater reported to the Selectmen that "the 'MAIL' continues to be a problem, both receiving and sending mail." She said many items the town sends do not reach recipients, and the town does not reliably receive items sent to them, sometimes receiving mail weeks late. The board noted the problem appears broader than a local anomaly and will monitor the situation.

No specific remedy or vendor contact was recorded in the July 15 meeting minutes; the board did not vote on any formal action but acknowledged the operational impact of unreliable postal service on town business and communications.
