At-a-glance: votes and formal actions from Town of Hampden Select Board, Oct. 27, 2025
Summary
The Select Board recorded several routine and substantive actions: minutes approval, authorization to enter executive session on collective bargaining, transfer of an alcohol license, and authorization to sign an OPM contract for the fire department project.
Key formal actions recorded during the Oct. 27 Select Board meeting in the Townhouse Auditorium:
- Minutes: The board approved the minutes of Oct. 14, 2025 (motion moved and seconded; "All in favor? Aye.").
- Executive session: The board voted to enter executive session to discuss strategy on collective bargaining with the highway union, citing that an open meeting could have a detrimental effect on bargaining position; the board returned to public session later in the meeting.
- Liquor license transfer: The board approved a transfer of an alcohol license from Amman Liquor and Corp to Four Seasons Wine and Liquor; paperwork signed following approval.
- OPM contract authorization: The board authorized the town administrator to sign a $426,000 OPM contract for the fire department building project (motion moved, seconded and approved; one abstention recorded on the floor).
Votes were taken by voice; detailed roll-call tallies were not read into the record for each action. All actions above were explicitly mentioned during the public meeting and are recorded in the minutes as approved or authorized on Oct. 27.
