The Winchester Board of Selectmen recorded the following formal actions on March 17, 2025.
1) Approval of minutes: The board moved and seconded approval of the minutes from the regular meeting on March 3, 2025; the minutes were recorded as approved (tally recorded in meeting as 6 yes, 0 no, 1 absent).
2) Appointment: Motion to appoint John Field as Winchester Town fire chief — moved, seconded and approved unanimously.
3) Reappointment: Motion to reappoint Steven Monelli to the Inland Wetlands Commission (term to expire 2028) — moved, seconded and approved unanimously.
4) Appointment: Motion to promote Ryan Horvay from alternate to full member of the Zoning Board of Appeals (term unchanged) — moved, seconded and approved unanimously.
5) Refunds: Motion to authorize refunds recommended by the collector of revenue. The meeting included two different refund totals in the record (the collector’s report listed total refunds of $6,870.98; a separate motion text recorded an amount read as $6,008.70 and 98¢). A motion to authorize the refunds was moved, seconded and recorded as approved unanimously. (Because the transcript contains conflicting figures, the precise authorized total is noted as inconsistent in the record.)
6) Assessment schedule: Motion to change the motor-vehicle assessment schedule from 85% to 90% (to be reported to OPM). The motion was seconded and approved unanimously; the manager said the change would increase motor-vehicle grand-list value to about $92,349,220 and produce an estimated additional realized revenue of $239,258 at the current collection rate.
7) DOT letter: Motion to authorize the mayor and town manager to cosign a letter to the Connecticut DOT concerning Route 263/Boyd Street water issues — moved, seconded and approved unanimously.
8) Adjournment: Motion to adjourn — moved, seconded and approved.
Ending: Where vote tallies or dollar amounts were unclear in the spoken record, the meeting materials should be consulted for official figures; otherwise, the items above record the board’s formal actions and recorded outcomes.
