Alna selectmen said Wednesday night, Jan. 20, they would have the codes enforcement officer and possibly Maine Department of Environmental Protection see if anything added to the Head Tide Dam site should not have been and, if so, how to address it.
If the bench should not be at the shore, it can be moved to higher ground, said resident Chris Kenoyer, who served on a committee that helped plan the site’s 2019 makeover. Third Selectman Greg Shute noted the bench was a request from the town, not Atlantic Salmon Federation, which did the dam project. As for gravel added due to erosion, Second Selectman Doug Baston said the planning board might have erred in allowing it, but if so he was unsure how to “unscramble that egg.”

Alna will have at least one new selectman after next spring’s elections. Third Selectman Greg Shute told Wiscasset Newspaper in an email reply Dec. 31, he will not seek re-election. And in a phone interview Dec. 31, Second Selectman Doug Baston said he was undecided.
Nominatons for their seats and other town seats opened Dec. 30. Town Clerk Sheila McCarty’s email announced the second and third selectmen’s seats are each two years. The town will also elect a road commissioner for one year and a Sheepscot Valley Regional School Unit representative for three years.
Road Commissioner Jeff Verney said he will run. And newly appointed SVRSU representative Kristina Verney declined comment.

Alna selectmen said Dec. 17, they might give voters a second option to change shoreland rules. Ralph Hilton’s proposal via his petition this fall will be on the March town meeting warrant, and so might another article, Second Selectman Doug Baston said.
Selectmen voted to hold the petitioned article over to the annual town meeting, planned for March 26 for elections, and March 27 for the open meeting, if pandemic conditions allow one then. “We’ll have to cross that bridge when we get there,” Third Selectman Greg Shute said in the Zoom meeting.
