LITCHFIELD -- The town will do another round of advertising to find a town manager to replace Steve Musica, who said he is retiring at the end of the year.

An earlier round of advertising netted three candidates, none of whom impressed town officials.

Musica said selectmen in an executive session Monday night decided to readvertise the post.

"We didn't think we had a good fit for the town," Selectman Glen Ridley said.

Ridley said the new ad will indicate the job involves 32 hours a week or more, depending on the time of year.

Resumes are due in the Town Office by Dec. 3, Musica said.

In public session Monday night, selectmen authorized issuing a quit claim deed to Harold W. Lilley Jr. after he paid back taxes and cleanup fees on his Richmond Road property.

They continued work on a lease agreement with Maine Public Broadcasting Network that would allow the town to place antennas on the MPBN tower on Oak Hill.

Musica said the network will allow the town to install antennas on the tower on Oak Hill to improve the signal coverage for emergency dispatching.

Selectmen also:

n renewed four junkyard licenses;

n renewed a gaming license for the Litchfield Sportsmen's Club;

n signed a central Maine incident management agreement to allow Kennebec County Emergency Management Agency to assist in emergency responses;

n refused a gift from Roger McWhinney of a landlocked property adjacent to the Maine Turnpike, which Musica said selectmen want to get back on the tax rolls -- the property's value was $35,000 in the most recent revaluation;

n considered options to handle a violation of the shoreland zoning ordinance in which a sand beach was created on a town-owned lot on Peacepipe Shores Drive; and

n appointed Terry Averill alternate member of the Planning Board.
