Coroner P.J. Curtis, acting as the Emergency Manger, attended the meeting. He has been busy getting up to date with Teams 
meetings and checking out resources available to the county. He is working on learning grants but notes FEMA hasn’t released
dollar amounts yet. Commissioner Bolduc would like quarterly meetings and says it would be fine if it coincided with his 
Coroner’s quarterly meeting.
PLANNING & ZONING UPDATE
Administrator Mike Kerswell gave an update. He says things are good. He is getting help from Cynthia, who is excellent help

as often anymore. The board stressed the need to communicate with her to make sure her work doesn’t fall behind. They are 
working on code enforcement. He believes the building inspector is doing a good job. Overall, he is happy with all staff.
