Votes at a glance: selectmen approve DES tank-study grant, solid-waste furnace contract, milfoil grant and routine minutes
Summary
At the Feb. 11 meeting selectmen approved several motions including acceptance of a $30,000 DES sustainability grant for water-system analysis, awarding a furnace replacement contract for the solid-waste garage, acceptance of a $42,070 milfoil grant, selection of the town-report cover photo and approval of meeting minutes and the consent agenda.
The Board of Selectmen took a series of formal actions at its Feb. 11 meeting. The following items were recorded by motion and voice vote during the public session:
- Water-system sustainability grant (New Hampshire DES): Motion to accept a $30,000 grant to fund a tank alternatives and hydraulic-deficiency analysis; board authorized the town administrator to sign grant paperwork. Motion passed by voice vote.
- Solid Waste Department garage furnace replacement: Motion to authorize the Department of Public Works director to award a contract for a replacement gas furnace (contractor and quotation as presented); motion passed. The contractor and amount recorded in the meeting materials were $4,603.10 (vendor name in the transcript: Langs provided service; motion referenced a contract award to “Blaine” in the record). Staff noted the board’s competitive-threshold rules and that the estimate was below the formal sealed-bid threshold.
- Milfoil control grant acceptance (NHDES): Motion to accept a New Hampshire DES milfoil grant in the amount of $42,070 and to authorize the town administrator to sign the grant paperwork; motion passed by voice vote.
- Town report cover photo: Motion and second to select entry No. 3 for the 2024 town report cover; motion passed by voice vote.
- Approval of minutes (Jan. 28, 2025): Motion to approve the Jan. 28 public-session minutes; motion passed by voice vote.
- Consent agenda for Feb. 11, 2025: Motion to approve the consent agenda as amended (with one item moved to new business); motion passed by voice vote.
Where motions and seconds were recorded without a speaker name in the public transcript, the record shows the board adopted the motions by voice vote and the clerk recorded the customary “Aye” responses.
