Hollis Select Board Transparency Archive

Good afternoon Dick,

I will re-up myself on the Bar Mills Dam commission and the Sports Complex committee. Beside that the only task (i guess more of a pet project) is getting that trail bond grant application in, (that thankfully just got the due date pushed back a few weeks to July 17th). If anything time sensitive tasks comes up i am going to be taking vacation the middle 2 weeks of August.

To not even give an appearance of a COI i do not think i should be involved in any of the tree growth / assessing tasks mary listed that may have to do with how much land anyone owns. I saw a few names on that list who i have done work for / have an open job on hold for / probably will be doing future work, not to mention Mr Williams and I have been pretty close fiends for a good 25 years now.

Thanks, Dan
