TURNER — Selectmen on Monday night tried to set the annual town meeting for Saturday, April 11, but discovered Tuesday that Leavitt Area High School was not available then.

Town Manager Kurt Schaub said selectmen will set a date at their next meeting in two weeks.

For this year’s elections, two selectmen seats will be open. The terms are up for Chairman Kurt Youland and Richard Keene. Nomination papers will be available for the two positions beginning Jan. 15, according to Town Clerk Becky Allaire.

In other business:

* Rescue Chief Toby Martin reported that the work converting an ambulance bay into office space and sleeping quarters for the overnight crew should be finished this week. The next phase of the renovation will be mold mitigation, a window replacement and some small renovations in the large meeting room, all to be done by Acadia contractors.

* The board accepted the low bid of $2,467 from Great Falls Security for upgrading security cameras at the Transfer Station. Great Falls has installed other systems for the town.

* The handling of property foreclosures was discussed at length. An article in the town warrant will ask voters at town meeting how they want selectmen to deal with foreclosures. Currently, people are given 30 days to pay all back taxes with interest; if that doesn’t happen, the town can take ownership of the property and sell it.

Schaub said some people have not kept current on their taxes. He said the town is not alone in extending payment arrangements to property owners, but the list of 22 people who owe a total of $24,363 needs to be addressed.

* The board reviewed an announcement of state road work that will go to bid in March. The work is planned for Weston Road, Center Bridge Road, Route 117, North Parish Road and the small section of Route 108 that starts at the Twin Bridges and continues in Livermore.

* Schaub and Public Works Director Jack Moultrie expressed concern that the “skinny mix,” the thin layer of material the state is planning to apply to the roads, will not take care of the many problems.

* Selectmen were also told that the case against resident Michael Bell is proceeding. Following an incident last year when Bell’s dogs were involved in an attack on a neighbor’s dogs, Bell was required by the court to kennel his dogs, and to have them on a leash and muzzled when outdoors.

Bell was later subpoenaed on a charge of contempt for allegedly violating those requirements, Schaub said. Bell’s original court date was Dec. 31, but he retained legal counsel and that date has been extended.
