Board discusses Jenness Beach records storage and possible fireworks ballot language
Summary
Selectman John Tuttle raised a request from the Jenness Beach Village District to store records in the Town Hall Annex; Selectwoman Suzanne Barton suggested town voters could be asked to limit commercial fireworks displays or ban fireworks outright via ballot language for March or a petitioned warrant.
During new business the board heard two distinct items: a request that the Jenness Beach Village District be allowed to keep a filing cabinet at the Town Hall Annex so its records would be in a neutral, public location rather than private homes, and an initial proposal to consider limiting commercial fireworks to one display per year or banning fireworks entirely.
Selectman John Tuttle said the Jenness Beach Village District ' which currently lacks a public building ' requested to store records at the annex; Town Administrator Matt Scruton was asked to research legal issues around one political entity using another's facilities. Selectwoman Suzanne Barton raised the possibility of adding fireworks restrictions to the March ballot or having them submitted as a petitioned warrant article. No final action was taken; staff were asked to report back.
