During the meeting, the issue of the roof was a focal point. The existing contract with the roofer is under negotiation due to a bid that exceeds the town’s budget. The search for an agreeable cost is ongoing, with the urgency underscored by the current exposed state of the roof. There was also a mention of an upcoming discussion with the Selectmen about the use of ARPA funds, which includes deliberation between purchasing a chipper or acquiring fire department gear.

The Committee also voted on recommending the reappointment of two of its members, whose terms are due to expire. These motions were carried out with unanimous support from the present members.

In other discussions, the Committee touched on the hiring process for a new town employee, where a tentative offer had been extended to a candidate without municipal experience. Plans for a smooth transition involving training by the outgoing employee and consulting support were outlined.
