Westport Island getting web calendar
In Westport Island’s latest move to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic, the town website at westportisland.us is getting a calendar. Via UberConference Monday night, selectmen agreed to hire Pedro Guimaraes of Willow Light Studio in Westport Island for $80 to set up the calendar. He designed the town website, Deputy Municipal Agent Gaye Wagner said.
Due to the pandemic, not everyone has ready access to the town office’s paper calendar that lists meeting dates and town hall reservations, Wagner said.
“I think it’s a good idea,” First Selectman George Richardson said of the online one.
“As do I,” Second Selectman Gerald Bodmer said.
Also Monday, Richardson said this year’s bill for the Trio computer programs just arrived and runs over the $10,000 voters budgeted. Reached by phone at home Tuesday, Richardson said there are enough funds to cover the rest.
The board agreed Monday to Mid Maine Generator’s maintenance deal. It costs $260 a year, Richardson said. And the board will look into possibly getting equipment to keep town office computers from going out after the power goes out and before the generator kicks in.
Selectmen meet next at 7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 22 via UberConference.
