Residents ask for microphones at meetings; board weighs solutions for Route 14 dumping
Summary
A resident requested the town locate microphones so soft-spoken commenters can be heard; the board also discussed debris and illegal dumping at two Route 14 turnarounds and options including cameras or closure while noting those sites provide last-cell coverage for travelers.
During public comment, resident Helen Duke asked the Selectboard to locate the microphones the town previously used so that soft-spoken remarks could be heard. The board discussed assessing a karaoke machine that holds microphones and Cote Griggs offered to bring equipment if needed.
Tyler Mitchell raised concerns about debris and illegal dumping at two turnarounds on Route 14 (near Pikes and at the bottom of Chelsea Road). The board discussed contacting the State about the sites, installing cameras, or closing the turnarounds, but members noted both locations provide a place for travelers to gain cell coverage before entering dead zones. No formal action to install cameras or close the turnarounds was taken at the meeting.
