Council seeks volunteers for fall festival and to restore park board
Summary
Council announced a fall festival on Oct. 10 and appealed for volunteers; members noted the town currently lacks a park board, blocking plan updates required every five years and limiting eligibility for some grants.
Chair reminded residents and council members that the town's fall festival is scheduled for Oct. 10 and asked for volunteers, saying staff would begin vendor outreach and publicity in the coming weeks. The chair also urged community members to join committees related to the festival and other events.
Council members discussed the absence of a functioning park board, which prevents the town from updating its park plan; the chair said the town must update the plan every five years to remain eligible for some grants. One member noted the council can waive political-affiliation requirements to fill volunteer positions if necessary. Chair warned that without a park board the town is "stuck" on plan updates and urged residents who live in town limits to consider serving.
