Building Commissioner Bruce Mello reported maintenance needs at the School building and recommended a title search; the Building Use Workgroup plans a public meeting on Aug. 18 and a Saturday session Sept. 12 to solicit feedback.

The Selectboard also discussed planning for future appraisals and potential Board of Civil Authority membership increases to five to handle property grievances.
