The form had been revised after earlier board comments and trustees reported those comments were incorporated. The board approved the motion; there were no recorded dissenting votes.

During the meeting, Trustee Susan Weiske explained that the Scholastic Achievement Award fund is privately funded and administered by the trustees. \"This award was established in 1996 and is entirely funded by private donations and memorial gifts,\" Weiske said.

The trustees presented this year's Scholastic Achievement Award to Liam Moore, a Brookfield graduating senior reported by trustees to have the highest grade point average among the town's graduating seniors. The trustees said the award amount is $1,500. Moore told the board he will attend North Carolina State University in Raleigh and plans to study computer or electrical engineering.

No town funds were identified as part of the Scholastic Achievement Award; trustees said it is a privately funded memorial award administered through the trustees of the trust fund.

Action: motion to accept the trustee transfer/authorization form was made and carried; the board also approved that trustees administer and present the privately funded Scholastic Achievement Award.","The board approved a trustees' transfer form used to track transfers between the town trust fund and the general fund. Trustees also presented the Scholastic Achievement Award — $1,500 — to Brookfield resident Liam Moore, who plans to study engineering at NC State.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6554082,"Select Board hears update on Hackett site cleanup; conservation commission to fund mowing",420,655000,1075000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5028849-d616a18237244c440d4282c1b4d71f4b&start=655&end=1075","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5028849-d616a18237244c440d4282c1b4d71f4b/thumbnail_655000.jpg","/articles/6554082/New-Hampshire/Select-Board-hears-update-on-Hackett-site-cleanup-conservation-commission-to-fund-mowing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6554082-d57a6b89977eea166fc215b23467521c/orig.mp4?Expires=1773562373&Signature=KPHbaK6X5~3L8AUDnM-Ffrfxm1Ef-P5cmztbQdypYqHj0Kc7GIjbcAD~K~aC9~AefHb09ZG-o8tXbm~PI9b4ZdkOZpr568-hJHukSqO1xSBMQjdZaC5FVHtUaMZ~4FCvb3Uhjnu9gOS4hWl04PLn6OB5zwRDbHjHOC~EAWSrtYpB0zKAqlR8pAnLKqgUPzQNWqRGUIij1KaiieGVzB1aGl4HKDij3mhN3DsouLUPdMOV2P1-VHpil6Q~ozB4iWDy9gTCa7XeP3qoWmFUqXYJJOFs3vDfd6VVhNpA2mo1ojzPO--jhb6ZwTNdQh4ErbX~O29mYqBZ-yvtQbrtvfrcwg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Brookfield Select Board members received an update on volunteer and conservation work at the James Hackett historic site, and the conservation commission agreed to cover a contractor's fee to mow and clear portions of the property.

The trustees and volunteers said recent work cleared the cellar hole, the foundation of a former store and two old wells, and that grave markers at the small family cemetery were in \"pristine condition,\" with American and state flags placed at the Colonel Hackett grave. \"We finally put a sign up at the graveyard, first time in 223 years that the graveyard actually has a sign,\" said Susan Weiske, one of the three trustees of the Trust Fund.

Conservation contractor Corey Pike told trustees he could clear the site for $200; trustees reported the conservation commission agreed at its last meeting to provide the funds. \"Corey said he would do the site for $200 and the conservation commission agreed to provide the funds for that for this year,\" a Select Board member summarized.

Trustees described steps to make the site more visitor-friendly: a large kiosk at the main site to tell the most important parts of James Hackett's story, and a smaller kiosk near the intersection of Old Governors Road and Lyford Road to attract passersby. Trustees are also developing a printed trifold with a site map and short biographies so visitors can take a self-guided tour.

Some Select Board members and attendees urged caution before additional spending. One board member said the town should have \"a plan in front of the town as to what we're gonna accomplish and how much money it's going to cost the town\" before authorizing further expenditures; another noted that some residents cannot reasonably walk to the site and asked that access and parking plans be part of further planning.

Trustees said much of the current work has been volunteer labor and private donations. Trustees and volunteers said they will follow up with the conservation commission about adding the interior of the cemetery to the clearing work already planned for the cellar hole and adjacent foundation.

The board did not take a formal funding vote; Select Board members heard the update and recorded that conservation funds would be used to pay Pike for the mowing and initial clearing.

Background: the Hackett property has been the subject of volunteer preservation activity and occasional Select Board discussion. Trustees said their near-term priorities are clearing sightlines, erecting interpretive signage and kiosks, and documenting graves and features for public use.","Town trustees and volunteers reported continued cleanup of the Hackett historic site, with the conservation commission agreeing to fund a contractor to mow and further site work. Trustees described new signage and plans for visitor kiosks and self-guided materials; some Select Board members urged a written plan before further spending.","actionData","errors"]
