FM #594 - Talk Franklin with Town Administrator Jamie Hellen - 08/27/21 (audio)

FM #594 = This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 594 in the series. 


This session of the radio show shares my "Talk Franklin" conversation with Town Administrator Jamie Hellen. We had our conversation via conference bridge to adhere to the ‘social distancing’ requirements of this pandemic period.


We talk about: 

  • Heat wave, Summer recap

  • Personnel changes; Lily Rivera here; Dale Kurtz leaving; Karen Bratt of Human Resources busy

  • Maple Hill approval, paperwork to complete the transaction underway

  • Cultural festival – Sep 12; food trucks, beer/wine garden, music, dancing lessons, etc.

    • Harvest Festival – Oct 2

 

Links to the key topics covered here are included in the show notes. The recording runs about 30 minutes, so let’s listen to my conversation with Jamie.
