The Board of Selectmen discussed employee life insurance levels and a possible change of carrier and reached a consensus to keep the existing life coverage level and to switch the town’s life insurance contract to The Standard.

During old business, staff noted the board had already voted previously on life and short‑term disability benefits and that the remaining question was whether to increase the life benefit from $30,000 to $50,000. One selectman said, "Insurance? Yeah. I still think we should leave it where it's at. Let's get through this budget season and see if we can get a real budget going again." Another member concurred, and staff asked whether the board wanted a formal vote.

Town staff said the board could keep coverage levels the same but switch carriers; staff recommended switching from MetLife to The Standard while keeping benefit levels unchanged. The board gave a general consensus to make that administrative change; staff noted no additional appropriation was required at the time and no formal vote was taken.

The board recorded the consensus in the meeting minutes and moved on to the budget presentations.
