LIVERMORE FALLS – Selectmen scheduled a public hearing and a special town meeting when they met Monday.

The hearing will be held at 6:30 p.m. March 15 to gain input from citizens on the proposed discontinuance of a portion of an old roadway on Route 17 near Souther Road and another on Route 106, the driveway into the old Pease farm.

After the hearing, the board will decide whether to continue with the process by taking the issue to town meeting action.

The second date set by the board is for a special town meeting on April 28 to deal with overdrafts anticipated in at least two accounts. Town Manager Alan Gove told the board that legal and discounts are both over so far and that buildings and debt service may also see overdrafts.

Chairman Bernal Lake read a statement about the overdraft in legal but refused to give names or details as they are “confidential and cannot be disclosed.”

“The Selectmen have concluded a lengthy personnel matter that involved investigations, interviews, meetings and follow-up since last summer. They feel the issues are being handled in a positive manner and improvements are in sight. Several phases of the process required expenditure of funds which over-drafted the Legal Account,” he said.

The manager will work with C. H. Stevenson Co. about putting up a bond to repair any damage they do to about 500 feet of Strickland Loop over which they are hauling gravel.

Gove will also work with the state on a water problem at Shuy Corner. Two unsightly homes were discussed, the burned one on Main Street, and one on Pleasant Street where a porch roof appears to be dangerous.

Gove will also continue to contact Central Maine Power about non-working street lights, an issue brought up by Police Lt. Tom Gould.

Chief Ernest Steward Jr., who is back on duty following surgery, explained that Patrolman Bruce Benson is now in training for his work in Iraq.
