Residents urge repairs at community center, board hears plans to honor volunteers
During the public-comment portion, a resident described flooding near the community center when it rains and said exterior drains should be cleared and a chimney covered because water reaches the basement. The commenter noted the facility contract assigns exterior maintenance to the camp but asked the town to consider addressing immediate hazards.

The same commenter described plans to honor volunteers and donors: naming a room for Joanne Dahl to commemorate items purchased with a gift to the Wesselorf Municipal Museum and placing a plaque recognizing a recently deceased volunteer. The commenter said plaques have been prepared and asked the board to note or approve the recognitions.

Board members discussed small repairs and whether the town could allocate funds to pay local people (Michelle and Todd in the transcript) to perform work; the clerk said they would look into reallocation of roughly $10,000 remaining in a fund but did not commit to immediate payment.

No formal appropriation or vote on repairs or naming was recorded in the transcript; next steps cited were exploring funding options and following up in future meetings.
