Hollis Select Board Transparency Archive

I exchanged thoughts with Chief Young. The best we have is to open the building for temporary brief relief from the heat. We have no staff to monitor. We have no equipment to make them comfortable and we have no refreshments beyond water that we picked up from Poland Spring on Friday. So we can put that on the website tomorrow and we could ask employees to wander that way during the day just to see if there’s anything that goes right or wrong.

We built this town hall with the big room with all the air conditioning we should use it as much as possible. I saw yes for thursday and probably friday too, not only to seniors and public but make sure the summer rec kids have a pace to go for a bit of AC time too. We also might want to think about moving the army band to the town hall on wednesday too, only a slight chance of storms but a foretasted heat index of 107 at the 6pm start time.
