Selectmen approve year‑end reappropriations: ventilation, Meadows fixes, food‑pantry donation rule and appointment
Summary
The Simsbury Board of Selectmen approved multiple year-end reappropriations on Nov. 10, including $10,000 for improved ventilation at the Parks & Recreation maintenance garage and $10,000 for Meadows facility electrical work.
The Board of Selectmen on Nov. 10 approved several year-end reappropriations and administrative changes.
Ventilation and Meadows maintenance: First Selectman (speaker 1) moved to reappropriate $10,000 for a parks and golf maintenance garage ventilation project to improve winter ventilation where crews currently must open garage doors during indoor work. The motion was seconded and carried on a voice vote. The board also approved a reappropriation of $10,000 for work at Cincinnati Meadows (electrical/outlet remediation and panel work); board debate included a proposal to reduce that amount to $1,000, but the full $10,000 motion prevailed.
Food pantry donations: Citing municipal code (section 100-2) that requires board approval for monetary donations over a threshold, the board approved a temporary administrative approval process for monetary donations to the Simsbury food pantry in amounts greater than $1,500 but less than $5,000, subject to town manager review and approval.
Appointments: After discussing vacancies and appointment procedures, the board voted to appoint Andrew Joni as a regular member of the Parks & Recreation Commission.
