BUCKFIELD — Dana Lee of Lee Facilitation Services told selectmen Tuesday night that he would volunteer his time to look at the town’s comprehensive plan and point out areas to look at.
Lee suggested the board identify five top things in the plan and move on those.
“Maybe you just need to implement what you already have in this plan,” he said.
Selectmen had asked Town Manger Glen Holmes at the last meeting to have someone meet with them about the plan, which was adopted in 2006.
In other business, Holmes said ditching on High Street was finished and only two of the five trees that were of concern were taken down. He said a forester determined two were dead.
Selectman Rodney Allen said he was concerned about parking at the funeral home on High Street and it was mentioned that parking could only be allowed on one side of the street because of the ditching work.
The board supported a proposal from the Western Foothills Land Trust to build two miles of trails along South Pond in the Virgil Parris Forest. The 1,294 acres provides significant wildlife, wading bird and water fowl habitat and community recreational activities along the former rail corridor.
The board voted to support the Recreational Committee’s efforts to unify the three towns of Buckfield, Hartford and Sumner in a sports program. Chris Reed discussed three proposals, the most popular being a Community Booster Club.
Reed outlined the difficulty of trying to get enough players in one age group to make a team. If the three towns were one team, the kids would have a better chance at success with the proper age group.
Diana Dunn was appointed to the Old Church on the Hill Committee.
Rescue Chief Lisa Buck said she had received grants for two automated external defibrillators. She plans to put one in Jessie’s Gym and one in the Nezinscot Village housing complex.
