LISBON
The Lisbon Town Council will meet today at 7 p.m. at the town office.
The council will consider a General Assistance ordinance amendment, road closures to accommodate the Moxie Festival, a revolving loan fund application, a school capital reserve request and a contract with Mid-Maine Waste Action Corp.
The council also will consider seven bids the town received for replacement of Douglas Bridge on Fisher Road, as well as reclamation of the existing pavement, fine grading and paving, according to a June 14 memo from the town engineer, Ryan Leighton, to Town Manager Steve Eldridge.
The bids range from $278,070.10 to $587,412.50. Leighton’s memo notes that the town has approximately $374,000 available for the project and requests permission to award the project to low bidder Harry C. Crooker and Sons.
Also up for discussion is the Davis Cemetery on Littlefield Road and the Upper Dam on Webster Road in addition to Eldridge’s report.
An executive session is scheduled for the council to discuss economic development.
