1.) One set sealed for the required amount of time prescribed by Maine law until the retention    period has passed and they are prepared for proper destruction.

2.) One set given to members of the Select Board for their review.

3.) One set reviewed by the Town Clerk.

4.) One set made for public review at the Town Office during regular business hours.

 

This process will be livestreamed, and the public is encouraged to watch via livestream if interested.

There are a minimal number of seats to watch the process in person, Please call the Town Office at 763-4199 or email the Town Clerk at clerk@hopemaine.org if you would like to watch in person. Seating is limited and you will be placed on a waiting list and notified by the Clerk if you will have an available seat.
