NEWRY – About a dozen voters at Monday’s special town meeting OK’d transferring $15,842 from capital projects to a roads account to cover a ledge-blasting cost overage regarding Sunday River Road.

According to Administrator Loretta Powers on Tuesday, the company hired to reconstruct what’s known locally as the “Letter S” stretch of the road had to do a week’s worth of blasting to remove a hump of ledge on a sharp corner.

“There was more ledge than anticipated,” Powers said.

Work on the project started in July and is expected to be finished when paving is completed next spring.

In other business:

• Selectmen signed an easement allowing Sunday River Ski Resort to maintain company-owned pipes under Newry town roads.

• Work will continue to finalize a new deed regarding a consent agreement for a narrow stretch of town-owned land given to a property owner by error.

“We want to make sure this will be done the correct way so it doesn’t come back and haunt someone like little things occasionally do,” Powers said.

• Great Brook Preserve developers requested release of the road bond for their Phase 2 project work. Selectmen agreed with the code enforcement officer that he and planners should have approved changes to the project, not an inspector.

• Renewed liquor licenses for the ski resort’s Summit and Jordan Grand motels.

Selectmen set 4 p.m. Monday, Dec. 10, as the board’s first budget session.
