Actions regarding the municipal parking lot and curb were reviewed. Hayes will contact American Asphalt concerning the parking lot. No one was present to address curb cutting at 315 Pleasant Street.

Business and license applications

Several business license applications were presented for board consideration. All alcohol and tobacco licenses were approved.
