  1. Reviewed and dispersed mail.
  2. Read and accepted minutes from the previous meeting.
  3. Extensive “housecleaning” work session going through files, and records stored in boxes. Pulled out a lot of the ones we no longer have to keep. We go by the State regulations for municipal records. Some files must be kept for one, two, or six years; some for thirty years, and many records, of course, must be kept permanently. As far as dispersing goes, some records can merely be thrown away (recycled) and those of a confidential nature must be destroyed.

  7. Opened bid for Map 6, Lot 90, the land that went out for auction. The town received only one bid for $100.00 (from Chris Smith). When the property was put out to bid in 2015 with a minimum bid required, no bids were received. This time there was no minimum and we only received the one bid. A quit claim deed will be issued.
