TURNER – Town Manager James Catlin told selectmen this week that he continues to look into products, suppliers and prices for a camera security system for the Town Office.

He said he received advice and suggestions from local businessmen and community volunteers Jeff Timberlake and Kurt Youland, both of whom were present at the meeting for the Town Office project discussion. Both have recent experience with installing similar systems in their businesses, and offered several ideas that selectmen urged Catlin to follow up on in his continuing search for the right system for the present and future town office.

In other business:

• Selectmen received one application, and others are welcome, for the seat on the Town Budget Committee that became vacant with member Charlie Mock’s election as selectman. Selectmen will make an interim appointment to fill the seat until a new member is chosen for a full term at town meeting.

• Philomena McPhee-Brown of Little Wilson Pond Road wrote to selectmen to praise the staff at the transfer station as hard-working and helpful. “I would like to see them appreciated for their work,” she wrote. “Your support of their work would help to do this. Keeping the environment clean is a team project.” The board agreed and Catlin will author a letter of appreciation to the staff from the board.

McPhee-Brown was inspired to write the letter after witnessing “the refusal of many using the station to follow established policies and/or listen to staff’s request.” She cited in her letter instances in which people have “voiced their annoyance” to staff members even while ignoring the directions of signs or verbal instructions.
