PERU – Lack of progress on the hiring of a code enforcement officer was the main topic of discussion Monday night by the Board of Selectmen.
Selectman Bill Hines considers it critical that someone be hired soon because the town cannot pursue enforcement of shoreland infringements without a code enforcement officer. He also said the Worthley Pond boat ramp will require scrutiny by a code enforcement officer.
Selectmen Kathy Hussey and Norman DeRoche expressed their belief that the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife and the state Department of Transportation were in control of the boat ramp construction.
In other matters, one weapon permit was issued.
Selectmen reviewed Maine Municipal Association’s look at the town’s property. Though the Town Hall was in compliance, the state found that the town garage and the Grange Hall had issues that must be rectified in a month. Hussey discussed the issues and how they were being addressed.
A letter was signed that will be sent to the owners of Murray’s Cove at Worthley Pond, as it no longer meets the definition of a campground and will have certain restrictions.
The benefit for the Rockemeka Grange Hall will be held from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Dec. 2. The money will be used to keep the hall open for the rest of the year.
