LIVERMORE FALLS – Bill Demaray was re-elected chairman by his fellow selectmen Monday night and will serve his sixth year in that position.

Former Selectman Jim Collins was appointed as the town’s representative on the Androscoggin Valley Council of Governments.

The town will reimburse him for expenses since he is serving in place of a selectman. Collins is currently treasurer for AVCOG.

Also named by the board were two new members of the SAD 36 Board of Directors, Collins and Elaine Smith, both of whom have previously served on the board. This will give the town full representation of eight members, something it hasn’t had for some time.

However, it was discovered Tuesday morning that only one of the two will be able to serve. The list provided to the board was missing one member, so only one position is open.

Russell Flagg, who received write-in votes on two openings, a one-year and a three-year, has chosen to take the one-year seat, which leaves the three-year seat open. As soon as a review is completed, one of the two will be named, Town Manager Alan Gove said Tuesday morning.

The board is asking interested residents to join a Dispatch Committee, a group that would thoroughly investigate the pros and cons of having the Androscoggin County Sheriff’s Department do at least one shift of the local dispatch.

That proposal was turned down at town meeting, but voters strongly suggested that it be studied by a committee this year. Those wishing to serve should contact the town office before the next meeting on July 7.

The board also wants a thorough review of the Highway Department to determine what snow removal policy will be used next winter. It should be set before snow falls, members agreed. Also on the to-do list for 2003-04 are to have better communications with the Planning Board and to continue the joint meetings with SAD 36 and Livermore officials.

Sewer Superintendent Kent Mitchell reported on a line that broke when test borings were made on Main Street for the state’s Route 4 project. He was amazed to find the repairs, estimated at $400, would be the town’s responsibility as he was unable to show the workers with the company doing the borings the exact location of the nearly century-old sewer lines. Mitchell reportedly told the workers to cease borings.

The board reviewed the sewer budget with Mitchell, noting that the road work will be expensive. A bid awarded later in the meeting verified that it will cost the town $22,000 for Elwood Leighton to move eight services on Route 17 from the north side of the road to a new line on the south.

This will involve homes from the Burnham residence to Red Water Brook. Work should begin this week, Mitchell said.

A $399.75 sewer abatement was awarded to Steve Dalessandro, who had a water leak in February.
