ANDOVER — Selectmen voted Tuesday night to dismiss Code Enforcement Officer Michael Moore of Dixfield because they can’t reach him by phone and he hasn’t attended Planning Board meetings, Selectman Jane Rich said Wednesday.

Moore was hired in September and his phone has been disconnected, she said. The board will send a letter advising him of its decision.

The job will be posted in a few weeks, Rich said.

Turning to the property revaluation, Rich said she received information last week from John E. O’Donnell & Associates of New Gloucester that it will be completed this spring. The original plan was to finish in September 2017.

“Residents will be able to discuss the value of their properties with company representatives if they are unhappy with it,” Rich said.

Selectmen and new Planning Board Chairwoman Donna Libby decided to change board member Mike Morton’s status from regular to alternate, and Calvin Kneeland’s from alternate to regular.

Other Planning Board members are Leo Camire and alternates Ken Dixon and Gary Meisner.

Camire, the Emergency Management Agency director, was asked to meet with Federal Emergency Management Agency officials in Augusta this week to see if the town is eligible for money for windstorm damage on Covered Bridge and East B Hill roads last October.

After Gov. Paul LePage declared those areas disasters, Camire filed a request for FEMA aid.

Selectmen also asked Camire to review an emergency management map to be sure Skyline Drive is on it. A resident on the road was concerned that it’s listed as Cornielsen Road, Rich said.
