Selectman reports new grant‑funded truck and says STR court decision pending
Summary
The selectman reported that a new Mack truck purchased with a clean‑diesel grant was delivered and is being outfitted, and told the board the town awaits a judge's ruling on short‑term rental litigation; the board was advised on tax‑rate timing and budget pressures.
Selectman (speaker 11) told the board the town took delivery of a new Mack truck purchased with a clean‑diesel grant and expects it to be outfitted and in service by about the end of October. "So that was delivered and then, I believe, delivered to HP Fairfield to be outfitted. So we should have that in service hopefully by the end of October," the selectman said.
The selectman also described budget pressures tied to disaster‑related overspending and said the town is working with DRA to set a tax rate and consider a special session to authorize overspending where necessary. On short‑term rentals, the selectman said the matter is before the courts and the town is waiting for the judge's decision and timeline. No board action was taken on budget items during the meeting.
