KINGFIELD — The Public Works garage on Tufts Pond Road will soon have security cameras to monitor the area, including the sand pile.

At Monday night’s selectmen meeting, Administrative Assistant Leanna Target said she purchased the equipment after selectmen approved it at a previous meeting.

Not every resident had been sticking to the 5-gallon bucket limit of and per storm, according to Targett. Although selectmen previously had not pursued the option to monitor traffic to and from the site, they had agreed that those taking large amounts of sand for private or commercial use shouldn’t be ignored.

The area is not publicly visible, and the extra security measure was necessary, they agreed.

Also Monday, selectmen also reviewed the extent to which the road commissioner and snowplowing crew are responsible for mailboxes placed in the public way. That distance is a defined number of feet from the centerline of each road or street. Occasionally, residents call or come to the Town Office to say their mailbox has been knocked down or damaged, and the town has dealt with complaints on a case-by-case basis.

Selectmen approved the final wording of its road ordinance that defines public ways and restrictions. Of particular importance was wording that defines the penalties for parking a vehicle overnight on the town streets and rights of way.

The ordinance bars people from parking vehicles on public streets and rights of way from Nov. 15 to April 15 between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. Violators will be subject to a fine of between $100 and $2,500 per day.

The new parking lot at the southern end of town has been full steadily, according to Selectman Wade Browne. The parking has allowed greater access to the nearby hill for sliding, to area snowmobile trails and to walking trails.

“It’s nice to see all the vehicles there,” he said. “We almost could use a second parking lot.”

The influx of visitors also has brought business into town, including a record 170 diners for lunch at Longfellow’s Restaurant on a recent weekend day.

Selectmen approved partnering with the statewide PaintCare Program, which will set up a station at the town transfer station. The PaintCare site will accept house paint, primers, stains, sealers and clear coatings, but no aerosols, solvents and products intended for industrial or non-architectural use, according to its website.

Upcoming public events include an informational meeting at 6 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 9, at Webster Hall. The Opportunity Center of North Franklin County will hold the first of several countywide broadband meetings to get the public involved with expanding broadband high-speed internet access in the Franklin County region.

The Planning Board will hold a public hearing at 6 p.m. Feb. 14 at Webster Hall to share information about Poland Spring Water Co.’s plan to activate a third line at their bottling plant facility on Route 27.

Selectmen and the public also are invited to attend a Regional School Unit 58 budget overview at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 16 at Mt. Abram Regional High School in Strong.

In other matters, it was announced that property taxes paid by Feb. 17 qualify for a 2 percent discount.
