The Alton Select Board met to consider water-rate increases, a waiver and contract for rubber asphalt chip sealing, a $90,000 budget restoration to retain a third full‑time firefighter position, voting-hours for a June special election, updates on the Mount Washington dock and a reported overcut at the Hidden Springs clearing. Several motions were approved including the water-rate increase and a $400,000 not‑to‑exceed contract for chip sealing.
