Lisbon Shared Services Committee reviews survey, branding, water staffing plan
The Shared Services Committee met September 22 and approved minutes from three prior meetings. Members reviewed a community input survey with 47 responses, got a look at a new town branding design, and discussed a proposal to have the sewer superintendent take on oversight of the water department after Shelly Reynolds retires.
Key points
- The committee voted 5-0 to approve minutes from the March 24, May 26, and July 28 meetings.
- Members reviewed results of a community input survey that drew 47 responses, including 12 detailed written comments; themes included communication, transparency, and support for shared services.
- Staff previewed a new town branding design featuring three trees and a river motif; the official town seal will not be replaced.
- Members discussed a plan to have sewer superintendent Steve Avioli take on day-to-day oversight of the water department instead of hiring a replacement for retiring employee Shelly Reynolds, with his salary and benefits split between water and the town; the proposal is under legal review.
- Members discussed advertising seasonal plow driver positions to school bus drivers, since school is typically canceled during plowable storms.
- Members noted Shelly Reynolds has retired and agreed to update the committee roster.
Next steps
- Send the community survey link to all committee members and share it again on town social media and community pages.
- Confirm whether the survey was shared with the business community through the economic development contact.
- Bring the third HVAC quote to the next meeting, with a recommendation to use the same vendor as the school department.
- Check when the school department's HVAC contract ends to explore aligning contracts or a one-year trial.
- Talk to Pat about the status of advertising seasonal plow driver positions.
- Send meeting agendas and minutes to staff for posting, and plan a possible Meet the Candidates event at 7 p.m. before the next meeting, with timing to be determined.
