The Middletown Town Council’s Monday night meeting covered some interesting ground, from ethics training to a unique beach amenity.
Lynne Radiches from the state Ethics Commission gave local leaders and town board volunteers a refresher on ethical practices. Her key advice? When in doubt about a potential conflict of interest, it’s best to play it safe.
In a unanimous decision, the council gave a conditional green light to Finn Woodworking and Design for a mobile sauna at Third Beach. The permit allows operation in the parking lot through April 20.
Elena Soini, the project’s backer, said the sauna will run at least once a week, weather permitting. It’s not for walk-ins though – customers need to book online in advance.
The council also approved a $47,880 contract with Crossman Engineering to help create a Harbor Management Plan. The Beach Commission will play a big part in this project, which will be funded from the town’s Parks & Recreation Fund.
Mark your calendars – the next Middletown Town Council meeting is set for Feb. 18 at 6:30 p.m. in Town Hall.
