Bourne Select Board opened a 30-day moderator vacancy search and approved $4,553,000 in Bond Anticipation Notes for the South Side Fire Station. Finance Director Erica Flemming presented the sale to Truist Securities at 3.75 percent coupon with a $27,000 premium.

The board also approved Fourth of July parade permissions but denied placement of sponsor flags along Main Street.
