KINGFIELD – Selectmen voted Tuesday to disband Kingfield’s Community Advisory Committee after weeks of low attendance at committee meetings.
During Tuesday’s selectmen’s meeting, Jack McKee asked if rumors the committee had “virtually disbanded,” were true.
Board Chairman John Dill said the tasks the committee was formed to do, including performing legal and environmental studies, were found to be either under the jurisdiction of other town groups or too costly for the committee to undertake.
“The feeling was, we were done,” Dill said.
In other business, selectmen voted to accept raw data from a baseline traffic study done recently by Gorrill-Palmer Consulting Engineers Inc., of Gray.
Dill noted that though survey currently consists solely of raw data and “hasn’t been interpreted by anybody,” the level of truck traffic recorded in Kingfield was higher than expected. He mentioned that at least 15 dual-tire or more trucks passed through town in one 10-minute period.
“Those numbers are stunning,” Selectman Heather Moody said.
Selectmen also voted unanimously to award a liquor license to Orange Cat Caf owner Chelcey Dunham. The vote took place following a mid-meeting public hearing on the license, during which no public comments were made.
