Select Board approves Lions Club boot drive permit for late June; one member abstains
Summary
The Select Board approved the Artisan Lions Club's request to hold a boot drive in June (motion language specified June 22 with a rain date), authorizing the event after reviewing the group's safety plan and insurance. One board member recused and another abstained during the vote.
The Select Board approved the Artisan Lions Club's request to hold a fundraising "boot drive" in town in June, after the club presented a safety plan and certificate of insurance.
Kelly Anna Caboni spoke for the Lions Club and said the chief had signed off on the safety plan and the organization had the required insurance. The club proposed running the drive roughly from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. with volunteer shifts and asked to position volunteers along Main Street between numbers recommended by the chief.
One Select Board member recused themself from discussion and voting because of a club affiliation. At the meeting a board member moved to "approve the Lions' application to hold the boot drive on June 22 with a rain date" (the motion text in the record mentions the rain date but the exact date wording in the transcript is inconsistent). The motion was seconded. In the recorded result the board approved the event, with one abstention recorded; the motion passed.
Town staff agreed to promote the event on town channels and the board encouraged the Lions Club to provide a flyer for town social media and email blasts.
