LIVERMORE FALLS — Selectmen agreed Monday to contribute $75 toward a student-initiative to plant a Tri-Town Community Garden with the bounty to benefit the local food cupboard.

Spruce Mountain Middle School seventh-grader Trevor Doiron, who is organizing the raised-garden-bed project on the Jay school grounds, approached the board with the request, Town Manager Kristal Flagg said.

Doiron plans four elevated beds to grow vegetables. Last month, he had raised enough money to take care of one of them.

He has other students and teachers helping with the project. Seedlings were planted in April.

The vegetables will go to the Tri-Ministerial Food Cupboard in Livermore Falls. It serves Jay, Livermore and Livermore Falls residents.

The money will come out of contingency, Flagg said.

In other business, selectmen reappointed Darryl Brown as trustee to the Livermore Falls Water District.

Flagg said she also informed selectmen that 10 radios were purchased through a grant from the Androscoggin County Emergency Management Agency. Town departments applied for the radios about two years ago. The Highway and Police departments are getting  four radios each and the Sewage Treatment Plant is getting two.

In another matter, Flagg said selectmen discussed foreclosures on three properties. She has to review each of the properties to see if they are fit to go out to bid, she said.

If the one at 37 Knapp St. is in good condition, it will go out to bid with a minimum bid of $5,000.

If the property at 4 Gordon St. is in good shape, it would go out to bid with no minimum bid, Flagg said.

A property at 32 Sewall St., will go out to bid, if fit to do so, for a minimum of taxes and sewer fees of about $2,300.

Flagg said she plans to visit the sites with Code Enforcement Officer James Butler Jr.
