OXFORD – Town Manager Michael Chammings informed selectmen Thursday night that the $100,000 estimate for road damage from the weekend storm has been sent to the state.
He said the community could get back 75 percent of the amount if the county qualifies for a disaster declaration.
Chammings complimented the highway crew and fire and police departments for working well together to get the community through the heavy rainstorm.
“We had an excellent response from public works, the Fire Department and Police Department responding to this on Sunday,” Chammings said.
The board set a public hearing for 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 19, on discontinuing Lars Drive off Route 26. After the hearing, the board plans to set a date for a special town meeting to vote on the issue.
At that meeting, the board also plans to ask voters to accept $1,500 forfeited in a drug investigation by the Oxford Police Department.
The board approved a request from Tom Kennison to place the acceptance of Oakwood Drive off Skeetfield Road on the June annual town meeting warrant. Kennison said the road was built to town road specifications.
Board members approved setting the town meeting for 10 a.m. Saturday, June 18, at Oxford Elementary School.
Selectmen awarded the bid for printing the town report to The Oxford Group of Norway for $541.31 for a paper book. They said they preferred that over a tabloid format offered by Sun Press of Lewiston for $524.37.
Selectmen asked residents to call the town office with ideas for dedicating the report. Traditionally, each report has been dedicated to an individual.
