10-5-2026 Select Board Public Hearing & Regular Meeting

The Lyman Select Board held a public hearing and regular meeting on October 5, 2026. With no public comment at the hearing, the board unanimously adopted updated General Assistance maximums, replacing appendices A–H of the town ordinance effective that date. The updated limits raise the income and asset thresholds for applicants; no procurement action was associated with this decision.

The board unanimously approved $22,700 from the Bunganut Beach reserve for beach restoration; the reserve had $36,289 available. Members discussed obtaining quotes for items including sand, trees and shrubs, and erosion-control materials, and noted that an RFP may be required if costs exceed the discussed $10,000 threshold. The board also approved, by four votes with one abstention, adding language to the public-way excavation permit application notifying property owners that they may be billed for town repairs if excavation damages a road; the transcript does not clearly establish that a specific permit fee was set. The meeting also approved payroll and accounts-payable warrants, though the accounts-payable amount is garbled in the transcript.
