Permits and Applications:
The Board discussed a memo from Lisbon's building inspector, Stan Borkowski, who is overseeing the Ogontz Hall project on behalf of the Town of Lyman. After meeting with John Dawson, the new project manager for the Ogontz Hall project, he is suggesting that the Board of Selectmen issue a Cease & Desist order. The project is currently shut down for the winter, and this would ensure the Town that no construction activity would resume until all necessary design elements and proposed remedial plans are in place. Mr. Dawson is in agreement with this suggestion. The Selectmen authorized Mr. Borkowski prepare the necessary paperwork.
