Votes at a glance: Select Board approves minutes, payments, election location and letter of support
Summary
At the meeting the Select Board approved meeting minutes, multiple accounts-payable and payroll items, property tax abatements and credits, moved the March election location, and unanimously approved a letter of support for the Chinook statue.
The Tamworth Select Board recorded several formal votes during the session. Key actions taken during the meeting included approvals of minutes, payroll and accounts-payable warrants, tax abatements and the relocation of the March election, plus a unanimous endorsement letter for a history-center art project.
Summary of formal actions (motion text quoted where recorded):
- Approve Select Board meeting minutes (01/02/2025) and public meeting minutes for session 1 and 2 (motion passed, roll-call recorded as unanimous).
- Approve abatement(s): amounts and map references were read into the record (multiple abatements approved by roll call; amounts cited in the meeting record included $1,365 for Map 410 Lot 1608 and additional abatements for other map/lots — the board approved these items on a roll-call vote).
- Approve veteran's credit for Map 213, Lot 30 (motion seconded and approved).
- Approve accounts payable (final 2024 accounts payable of $34,532.63) and a separate accounts-payable warrant of $126,535.27 (which included a $55,000 library payment, a Primax invoice and other items); both warrants were approved by roll call.
- Approve payroll warrant of $44,233.41 (approved).
- Move the March election location from the preschool to the Tamworth Townhouse (motion made, seconded and approved by roll call; recorded vote 5–0).
- Motion to provide a letter of support for the Chinook statue at the Tamworth History Center (motion made and seconded; approved by roll call, 5–0).
- The board entered and exited nonpublic session under RSA 91-A:3 II per motions on the record and later voted to come out of nonpublic; minutes from the nonpublic session were recorded as not sealed.
Why it matters: These administrative votes finalize bookkeeping, tax matters and logistics ahead of town meeting and municipal operations; relocation of the election and the letter of support were discrete operational decisions with immediate implementation tasks.
Notes on documentation: The meeting transcript lists specific map and lot identifiers for abatements and the amounts to be recorded in the minutes; the board’s roll-call tallies were consistently recorded as 5–0 for the motions announced during the signature-file portion of the agenda.
