Guests Sue Botros and son Alex presented documentation demonstrating the
changes in the “1 Mile Road” that were carried out by Carol Cass and then
Shawn Austin. At the recommendation of their attorney, they came to the
meeting requesting a deed be conveyed to them by the town for the land that
was received by them at the time the road was straightened. As the same amount
was taken from land owned by them to complete the work. After looking at the
documents we (the town) will request the town’s attorney to process the
necessary paper work.
Bob Durgin introduced himself and stated his desire to be Mr. Coutu’s
replacement at the recycle station. There being no objections or other
concerns Bob will be starting in 2 weeks and Jim will assume the lead role at
the center.
Sheriff Kirk Martin came at the request of the board to discuss ways and
methods to deter future disturbances at the public beach re: the “Fracas in
Morgan”
He explained the delays in filing charges, and displayed the public notice
that was to appear in the next day’s press release. Several recommendations
were discussed as to which governing authority needed to be contacted in order

follow when there is full board present.
