Boothbay Harbor Selectmen’s Chair Wendy Wolf announced that the town received a dividend payment of $4,360. The payment was from the Maine Municipal Association, the town’s financial officer Julia Latter said. The funds were reimbursed from their workers’ compensation and property and casualty pool.

Wolf also announced that the Joint Economic Development Committee’s economic planning consultants, Kamoin and Associates, will be in the Boothbay region on Wednesday, Sept. 6 at 7:30 p.m. The consultants will be in the area all day performing one-on-one and group interviews of “around 50 key stakeholders in the region,” said Wolf.

“I’ve been really pleased with the outreach that we’ve had inviting people to participate in the interview process,” said Wolf. “People are actually very excited by this opportunity feeling that it’s a chance for them to talk about the region, what they find is both attractive and meaningful, and also solicit their ideas and their suggestions for economic developments.”

Board member Russ Hoffman announced that the Ambulance Service made approximately $10,000 from the charity softball game on Aug. 19 with about 100 people turning out for the event.

“In view of the fact that this is something we haven’t done in a few years at this point, it was a success and we’re looking to build on that success for next year,” said Hoffman. “I would say fundraising at the Ambulance Service is going well.”

Wolf asked, “What was the score again?”

“Oh, it was a good score,” said Hoffman as the board laughed. “It was something like 13 to 6 — the retired Red Sox gave us a whooping.”

“Thanks to the Boothbay Region High School football team for providing most, if not all, the home team,” added Hoffman.

Thursday, Aug. 31 at 4:30 p.m. Attorney Ted Kelleher will be leading a talk about cannabis laws and commercial uses pertaining to the Tuesday, Nov. 7 vote on retail, manufacturing, cultivation, testing and social clubs for cannabis.

“I’ve asked Ted to really focus on the law and the commercial uses as opposed to the more broad and general presentation he gave in April to the community where he talked about the history and the background and everything else,” said Wolf. “(I) also asked if he has any sort of ‘lessons learned from Colorado.’”

The selectmen — accompanied by Harbor Master Nicholas Upham and Code Enforcement Officer Geoff Smith — made an onsite visit to 61 Barrows Road in Boothbay Harbor concerning an application made by Aslan and Associates to replace a float and dock. Wolf said that the replacements will be a “vast improvement to the existing structure” and that there were no issues with any abutters.

“My takeaway was that the property owner was responsive to the abutter’s desire to keep the jumping rock accessible,” said board member Mike Tomko. “Otherwise, it is a straightforward installation.”

The board voted unanimously to accept the application.

The second and final application to be addressed was a request from Caper’s Deli and Catering to upgrade from a Class G victual license to a Class H.

“It’s just a modification to their food distribution license,” Wolf said. The board voted unanimously to accept the application.

The revenue and expenses, year to date, are $1,756,574.82 and $1,263,794 respectively. The total accounts payable are $21,166.46 and the town’s bank balance is $2,691,111.07.
