School Board Opening
Heather Cabot has resigned from the School Board to pursue
teaching opportunities. Heather’s term
would have expired in 2021. Cecily
Pingree expressed interest in completing Heather’s term. The School Board was advised that it had the
authority to appoint a new member to fill the remainder of Heather’s term and
unanimously voted to appoint Cecily to the Board. This turns out to be an error. The School Board does not have this authority,
so Cecily’s appointment is invalid. Instead, the authority for filling a vacant School Board term rests with
the Town’s Select Board. See Maine
Statute, Title 20-A, section 1254. The Select Board has the authority to appoint someone to fill the position until the next Town meeting in March 2020.
Two people expressed interest in serving on the School Board as an interim member, Justin Grant and Cecily Pingree. The three members of the Board present on May 21, 2019 decided to defer a decision until the full five-member Select Board is present.
Job Posting — Town Property Manager
The Town of North Haven has an immediate opening for a property manager. This is a part-time position. A property manager would perform various maintenance and repair services for the Town's properties, such as painting, plumbing, removing debris, snow shoveling, mowing and trimming, and periodic inspections. Applicants should be motivated to care for the Town's properties, capable of identifying and completing tasks independently, and available to work a consistent schedule of approximately 20 hours per week. Pay is $25 per hour. If interested, please contact Kathy Macy, Town Clerk, at 207.867.4433 or nhclerk@midcoast.com.
Browntail Moths
The Town's Road Commissioner has instructed his crew to burn Browntail moth nests along the roadways that the crew can safely reach. No insecticide or poison of any kind is being applied. This is the time of year to destroy the nests, while they are visible and the larvae are inactive. In caterpillar form, these insects' hairs can cause skin and respiratory irritation. If you would like to remove these nests from your own trees, a safe method is to clip the nest and deposit it in soapy water. You can find more information on the Browntail moth here.

Request for Proposals -- Town Office Roof
Description: This is a request for proposals to replace the Town Office Roof. The roof is currently shingled with asphalt shingles.
