SUMNER — Selectmen heard a report from Code Enforcement Officer Sidney Abbott on Tuesday that he levied a double fine on a resident on Hood Valley Trail for failing to get a septic tank permit.

Abbott said a home on Gammon Road had an improperly installed septic system that drains onto the road. He said the problem has to be taken care of and suggested maybe something could be worked out because the resident has no money.

No action was taken.

In other business:

* The Planning Board reported it had sent a letter to resident Frank Shaskan about his lack of a building permit when he exceeded the legal expansion of his camp. Although the work already was done, Shaskan’s building permit was rejected by the Planning Board. No other action was taken.

* The board tabled the request from Bob Stewart to be on the Planning Board because Board of Selectmen Chairman Kelly Stewart had to recuse herself and there was only one other selectman at the meeting.

* Road Commissioner Jim Keach reported that he graded the gravel part of Valley Road and fixed the shoulder where Valley Road meets Route 219.

* Kelly Stewart announced a craft fair will be held at the Buckfield Junior-Senior High School on Saturday, Dec. 6, and that Santa will be at the Town Office from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Dec. 13.

* At 3 p.m. on Dec. 13, town officials will sing carols to people who are confined to their homes.
