The Greenland Board of Selectmen took a series of routine approvals and administrative actions at its Feb. 24 meeting.
Key votes and outcomes (as recorded in the meeting transcript):
- Approval of minutes: The board approved the minutes for Monday, Feb. 10. (Motion and second recorded; roll call recorded as “Aye;” transcript does not give a roll-call tally by name.)
- Use of town green for Easter egg hunt: The board approved a request from a local church to use the town green for an annual Easter egg hunt on April 12 from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. (Motion and second recorded; vote recorded as “Aye.”)
- QuickBooks administrator change: The board approved a motion to remove Paul Sanderson, former town administrator, as the primary QuickBooks administrator and to appoint Steve Smith, town administrator, as primary and Linda Zemarcie (finance) as secondary QuickBooks administrators. (Motion moved and seconded; vote recorded as “Aye.”)
- Recycling-bin purchase for resale: The board authorized the town administrator to purchase 12 recycling bins from EcoMaine at $11 each for resale to residents. (Motion moved and seconded; vote recorded as “Aye.”)
- Solar exemptions and veterans' tax credit approvals: The board approved solar exemptions and veteran-credit recommendations from the assessors. One board member said they needed to abstain because they were on the list; the motion passed with recorded “Aye” votes otherwise (abstention noted in the record).
- Accounts payable and payroll manifests: The board approved the general-fund manifest in the amount of $561,698.98 and the payroll manifest in the amount of $99,307.90. (Motions moved and seconded; votes recorded as “Aye.”)
Notes on voting detail: The meeting audio/transcript records motions, seconds and a verbal “Aye” for approval on each item but does not provide a full roll-call tally by name for most votes. Where an abstention or conflict was stated on the record (the assessor recommendation item), the abstention was recorded by the individual who said they were on the list.
Ending: These were routine administrative approvals; no contested ordinances or major budget appropriations were acted on during the meeting.
