Woodstock board approves payments and accepts donations for Firefighters Fund
Summary
At a regular meeting, board members approved several payment requests tied to the Woodstock Firefighters Fund — covering Fourth of July candy, T-shirts and lobsterfest expenses — and accepted donations from the lobsterfest and Woodstock Inn sales.
The Woodstock Select Board approved multiple payment requests and accepted several donations for the Woodstock Firefighters Fund during its meeting; the actions included reimbursements for Fourth of July supplies, T-shirt purchases and lobsterfest expenses and the formal acceptance of proceeds from festival and Inn sales.
Board member (Speaker 1) opened the financial items with a motion to approve a request for payment from the Woodstock Firefighters Fund for Fourth of July candy in the amount of $393.76, described in the motion as payable to “Miss Melissa Savers.” The motion was seconded. The board voted in favor.
Speaker 1 then moved to approve a payment of $2,348.24 for Woodstock Fire Department T-shirts; that motion was seconded and the board voted in favor. Later, Speaker 1 made a motion to approve a payment of $1,214.94 listed as a lobsterfest expense to “Miss Melissa Sabre.” That motion was discussed and recorded as approved. Speaker 1 also moved to approve a payment of $1,073.82 for lobsterfest supplies to Clark’s Trading Post; the motion was seconded and approved.
The board accepted a donation of unanticipated funds to the Woodstock Firefighters Fund in the amount of $7,405 from the annual lobsterfest fundraiser. In separate motions the board accepted a $175 donation described as proceeds from T-shirt sales at the Woodstock Inn and a $2,095 donation described as proceeds from two search sales at the Woodstock Inn. Each donation acceptance was moved by Speaker 1, seconded or supported by Speaker 2, and approved by voice vote.
Taken together, the motions recorded in the meeting transcript covered routine reimbursements and processor/vendor payments for fundraising events, plus the formal acceptance of fundraising proceeds into the Woodstock Firefighters Fund. The transcript records board members responding to the motions with the convention “All those in favor?” followed by “Aye.” The meeting did not include additional details in the transcript about the vendors or the specific purpose of each T-shirt or supply purchase beyond the text of the motions.
The board moved on after the financial items to other agenda business.
