Selectmen approve laptop and camera purchase; town house rental for spring tea OK'd, farm bureau request tabled
Summary
The board authorized up to $702 for a laptop and camera/microphone system to support meetings, approved the Brookfield Women’s Society spring tea booking, and tabled a Carroll County Farm Bureau potluck request pending more information.
Selectmen authorized a $702 purchase for a laptop and camera/microphone system to improve meeting audio/video and approved a townhouse booking for a local group while deferring another rental request for more details.
Leo, staff member, presented recommended hardware including an HP laptop and a camera system for the meeting room. The board approved up to $702 to buy the laptop and supporting hardware; the motion carried after a voice vote in which one member recorded opposition. The chair noted that staff should verify the purchased components are not on any state “prohibited equipment” list from the Homeland Security office.
The Brookfield Women’s Society requested use of the townhouse on Saturday, April 5 from 9 a.m. to noon for a spring tea; the board approved the reservation. The Carroll County Farm Bureau asked to use the building on either April 23 or April 25 for a potluck of about 30 people; selectmen asked for additional details (who represents the group locally, whether the event is public, and cleaning arrangements) and agreed to table that request to the next meeting.
