Town Commissioners — 2024-12-11

The Queenstown Town Commissioners met December 11, 2024 and discussed a possible town purchase of 6915 Main Street from Dudley Dixon, with options to subdivide the parcel and Dixon returning with pricing. Sunrise Solar presented non-binding terms for a solar project (partnering with Delmarva/Sunwise); the town attorney and Finance Committee will review the agreement. Public Works reported a hydraulic failure on a bucket truck and the town decided to rent a pull-behind boom lift to remove holiday decorations before deciding on a purchase. The Finance Committee said the audit is nearly complete and water/sewer charges must be separated; the Commissioners approved interim financing from Queenstown Bank at 4.5% for a line of credit, and the town received state approval for a $20,991.50 cybersecurity grant pending FEMA approval. Minutes from November 20 were approved, a work session on rate study and road/sidewalk standards is scheduled for January 21, 2025, and a public hearing for Ordinance 24-05 (odor nuisances) is set for January 22, 2025.
