LISBON

The Lisbon Town Council Tuesday will discuss keeping the town office and the local library open one extra day each week.

The town office, which used to be open five days a week, switched to a four-day work week in 2014 in order to stay open later for the public and save on energy costs. However, the town has not experienced significant energy cost savings, and numerous complaints from citizens have been filed regarding the office being closed Fridays, according to Town Manager Diane Barnes.

As a result, Barnes is recommending the office return to a five-day work week beginning Dec. 1. Office hours would be 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Thursday; 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Tuesday and 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Friday.

The council is also being asked to change the Lisbon Library hours, creating six days of service instead of five. The library is currently closed on Mondays, but under the new hours it would be opened from 8:30 a.m. to noon Monday, 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday; 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Friday and 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. The library would remain closed on Sunday.

Other business

The council will also consider a floor bid for the ET Smith Hose Company fire station on Village Street and consider granting the Riverside Trail Snowmobile and ATV Club up to $8,598 to purchase a new snowmobile groomer.

The council will also conduct first readings of changes to the ordinance regarding municipal parking lots, the fee schedule under the traffic and vehicles section of the ordinance and an amendment to the site plan review ordinance.

The council Tuesday is also scheduled to present the Boston Post Cane to Lisbon’s oldest citizen.

The council meeting starts at 7 p.m. at the town office. At the end of the meeting the council will meet in executive session to discus acquisition of real property or economic development.
