Board: Sabattus Selectmen
Met: Tuesday night

Mold cleanup
Issue: The fire station has had a growing mold problem for some time. After it was found on helmets, equipment and engines were moved to Public Works.
The scoop: Selectmen agreed to a contract with Pure Energy Pro, not to exceed $10,000, to clean out the mold and take care of debris. The contract comes with a 20-year warranty.
Up next: Work starts next week.
Up next: After that issue is taken care of, selectmen approved spending $21,447 on a new radiant heat system from Fontaine Solar Energy Services for the fire station.

Lighting up
Issue: The intersection of Route 126 and 132 is a busy one that’s seen a number of accidents. Emergency Management Agency Director Don Fournier said a traffic light is coming in the near future.
Issue: The intersection of Elm and Greene streets has had issues with accidents and nearby homeowners issues with burglaries.
The scoop: Selectmen approved putting a 70-watt streetlight on the corner. It will cost the town $105.12 a year.

Number up
Issue: Police Chief Thomas Fales told selectmen that United Ambulance is having issues finding the right house on some calls because of missing address numbers.
The scoop: Numbers need to go up on houses and, if the house is more than 50 feet from the road, also on the mail box, according to the town clerk.
Up next: Don’t put your number up? A citation may be issued.
