Votes at a glance: Woodstock selectmen approve minutes, policies, appointments and a contractor payment; drop‑off clothing bin request denied
Summary
The Board of Selectmen approved meeting minutes, a package of financial and purchasing policies, several town appointments and authorized payment on a Route 112 substation contractor application; the board declined a proposal to place a clothing‑drop bin in town and tabled a low‑budget film permit pending location details.
At the February meeting the Board of Selectmen recorded several formal actions and approvals.
Minutes and administrative approvals: The board approved and signed minutes from the Feb. 11 meeting and from Feb. 25. It also signed the required delegation of deposit authority form that authorizes specific town staff to make bank deposits. The board accepted an annual package of policies — the capital asset depreciation policy, credit card policy, financial management plan, fund balance policy, investment policy and the purchasing policy — by motion and voice vote.
Appointments: The board appointed Eleanor Harvey as Town Treasurer, Cheryl Voorasa as tax collector (with oath of office) and Julian Welch as deputy tax collector; motions to appoint each candidate were made and approved by voice vote.
Payments and contractor work: The board authorized issuance of payment number 3 for the Route 112 Seward substation (Seward's pump house upgrade) and authorized the selectman (chair) to sign the payment documentation.
Permits and requests: The board discussed a nonprofit request to hold a butterfly release and indicated they typically waive fees for nonprofits; in that case the applicant will provide a certificate of insurance and the board expressed no issue with the request. A low‑budget film permit application for riverfront filming was tabled pending clarification of the exact filming location and whether state park permits are required. A proposal to place a 24‑hour clothing drop‑off bin in Woodstock was considered and the board voted to decline that opportunity at this time, citing concerns about duplication with the transfer station and potential overflow if pick‑ups are missed.
Adjournment: The board adjourned at 9:14 a.m.
Notes on votes: The meeting record did not include roll‑call tallies for the voice votes; motions were moved, seconded and passed by voice in each case as recorded in the public minutes.
