Also the board signed an extension for Tom Richards to continue cutting on the Hidden Lake project motion by Tom, 2nd by Mark All in favor of extension.
5. Chief Hooker submitted the Western Maine Mutual Aid Agreement for the Board to sign. He also requested the balance in the Kerry Grover Fund be given to the Association. When Kerry died Donna Bean suggested that the donations be given to the fire dept for fire safety education. Since the Association is the group that does all the fire safety programs it would be easier for them to have the control rather than going through the towns funds. Mark made motion to find out how much in the account and have a check made out to the association to be approved on the warrant, 2nd by Hal, all.
6. Sept 20th meeting cancelled, due to scheduling conflicts. Monday the 25th the Board will meet at 5:30pm to sign the Warrant to pay the bills.

9. A letter was presented to the board from Richard Remington, 266 Bolsters Mills Road. He has a complaint in regards to his neighbor having a junk yard in a residential area, cutting trees on his property, and using equipment on the weekends at 7am. The board stated that this is to go to Zak, CEO; he needs to investigate the allegations and proceed to remedy the problems according to the codes. Some matters may be civil in nature, and therefore the town may not have any thing to do with solving the problems. The Board did note that the town does not have a noise ordinance, therefore no restrictions on noise levels, hopefully people would be considerate of others.

11. Motion to adjourn by Hal, 2nd by Tom, ALL at 8:35pm.
