Selectmen adopt updated General Assistance maximums after brief hearing
Summary
After a two‑minute public hearing, the Winter Harbor selectmen voted 3-0 to adopt revised General Assistance maximums, formalizing the town's updated limits for emergency aid.
The Winter Harbor Board of Selectmen voted 3-0 on Oct. 20, 2025, to adopt revised General Assistance maximums after a brief public hearing. Chair G. Harrington opened the hearing at 6:08 p.m.; the minutes record that discussion occurred and that the hearing closed at 6:10 p.m.
The motion to "accept the new maximums as written" passed unanimously. The minutes do not specify the new maximum dollar amounts; the board record shows only the formal adoption and the 3-0 vote. The action places the updated maxima into the town's administrative rules until the board or staff post specific numeric values.
