RUMFORD — The Board of Selectmen will continue discussion Thursday, March 3, on whether to pursue exterior work on the Rumford Public Library.
The meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. at the Rumford Falls Auditorium.
Selectmen learned at a meeting Jan. 21 that the library building has gaps in the brick, rotted wooden gutters and window sills, and an outdated furnace.
Town Manager John Madigan said H.E. Callahan submitted a base bid of $154,000 for exterior repairs. Part of the contract is to investigate the nine-year-old roof to see what repairs are necessary.
The board will also discuss:
* A request to prohibit engine brake noise on Route 2 in Rumford Center;
* Appointment of an alternate to the Planning Board;
* A request from the Parks and Recreation Commission for franchise fees for fireworks;
* Approval of police cruiser bid;
* A request to paint footprints on sidewalks to remember people with mental illness;
* A request from the town clerk for exemption from bidding for records restoration;
* A request from the Maine Department of Transportation for permission to use parking spaces on River Street during the bridge painting project.
