ANDOVER—Just before the selectmen’s meeting on Feb. 23, Secretary to Selectmen Hope Peterson said that she grabbed a few people that day to let them know that their names were on the State of Maine’s government website list of Unclaimed Property.
The website address is www.maine.gov/upsearch and Maine currently has $225 million in lost assets to be reunited with their rightful owners. Peterson said she may bring the list to the Town meeting and put it on the Town website so people can check it out and access it for themselves at home.
Treasurer Barbara Simmons said that a resident brought up to 34 tires to the Transfer Station but hasn’t come in to pay the fee for the tires at the Town office. Selectman Keith Farrington asked if the slips given to residents have any “pay by” date. Simmons replied that they do not.
All three selectmen, Jim Adler, Jane Rich, and Farrington decided that the resident will receive a letter from the board to notify him to set up monthly payments for the disposal of the tires at the transfer station.
The audit of the 2015 Town Report was discussed and approved by all three selectmen. They also voted to post the Town Report on the Town website.
The state will be doing maintenance work on Lovejoy bridge during the months of May and June. The roof and abutments of the bridge will be worked on at this time. Detours from the bridge are expected.
Later in the meeting many area students arrived with their parents to discuss their problems regarding a school bus driver. Selectmen chose to begin an executive session for personnel matters.
