Town Manager Sara J. Liscomb told selectmen that training costs strain the budget, described Lobster Festival plans (parade, car show, cornhole) and warned that newly installed floats lack sufficient flotation for the water.

Town Manager Sara J. Liscomb reported concerns about training costs, saying that after reviewing the budget and training requirements she did not see how the town could pay for a budget committee member to take a class this year. She raised the training-cost constraint as a budget pressure point for the board to note.

Liscomb also updated the board on Lobster Festival arrangements, saying the parade is large and that organizers added a car show and cornhole games on Friday night.

Young would inspect them to determine repairs or adjustments.
