LIVERMORE – The town should receive about $30,000 more from Municipal Revenue Sharing than what was anticipated, according to projections received from Maine Revenue Service.

Treasurer Kurt Schaub gave selectpersons the good news last week, explaining that the town had been advised to anticipate only about $135,000. The annual amount had been decreasing over the last several years.

Projections indicate the town will receive $166,166.77 instead.

Schaub also told the board that further Batten Road discussion will have to wait until the July 21 meeting because the requested legal opinion had not been received from lawyer Lee Bragg.

The board appointed Kim LaVoie to the SAD 36 Board of Directors. He will serve until the June 2004 election.

After receiving reports from neighbors that Brettuns Beach has turned into a dumping ground again, the board agreed to have Alfred Day spend four hours a week taking care of litter and mowing.

It was also agreed to have Jim Leclerc remove the existing outhouse once a portable toilet is installed.

Travis Day will fill in as an attendant at the transfer station when Superintendent Juanita Jordan-Bryant or Attendant Alfred Day take vacation time. He will be paid minimum wage ( $6.25 an hour) and, because of his age (under 18), will not be permitted to operate the loader or work more than 10 hours on any day.

Schaub reported that town managers Ruth Marden of Jay and Alan Gove of Livermore Falls have expressed an interest in working together on the renewal of the cable television franchise with Adelphia. The present agreement expires in 2004.

Discussion was held on the company’s expansion agreement to have cable service made available along two additional miles of town road each year. Schaub would also like high-speed Internet service available at the town office, which would eliminate conflicts with the FAX line.

Dennis Stires, vice-chairman of the Cemetery Committee, alerted the board to work needed on old cemeteries, noting that Keith Smith, a teenager who lives on the River Road, plans to do an Eagle Scout project on one of them.

Code Enforcement Officer Richard Marble said permits have been issued for seven new homes and three mobile homes for a total value of construction at $2,821,661, an average of $134,000 for new homes and $86,000 for mobile homes.
