Macy sign for bridge donation
The board has spent months trying to finalize a thank-you sign for Nick Macy, whose family donated a $90,000 bridge. Members feel awkward asking him to fund a $200 sign and plan to have the town cover costs over $200 instead.
Employee service recognition
The council honored dozens of town employees with 5 to 41 years of service; staff suggested moving recognition to Employee Appreciation Day going forward.
HYAA donation for Donati field lighting
The town accepted a $6,010 donated lighting repair for the Donati softball and flag football fields — a big win for local youth sports at no cost to taxpayers.
K Avenue family addition for special-needs son
Sean Menard got a variance to build an addition into the front setback so his family can care for their adult son with special needs and stay in the home they've had for 28 years.
Beaver dams flooding near Riverwalk
The town hired a licensed trapper because beaver dams were clogging a culvert on Heritage Drive and risking flooding; the DPW director responded to neighbor complaints, noting tampering with traps is illegal.
