Summary
The Select Board unanimously accepted a donated 12.448-acre parcel at 374 Tamworth Road, approved a new 2025 meeting schedule and cleared routine consent agenda items including payroll, minutes and certificates; the board also entered and exited a nonpublic session.
At its Dec. 5 meeting the Tamworth Select Board recorded a series of motions and roll‑call votes: it accepted a donated parcel at 374 Tamworth Road and authorized the town administrator and town attorney to close the transaction before Dec. 31, 2024; it moved its 2025 meeting schedule to second and fourth Tuesdays beginning Jan. 14, 2025; and it approved routine consent items including minutes, payroll, a municipal assessment certificate and an intent‑to‑cut notice.
Land donation: A member moved to accept and acquire the property at 374 Tamworth Road (Tax Map 202, Lot 355), described in the motion as 12.448 acres, and to authorize Administrator Emily Nolan and the town attorney to execute closing documents with a closing before Dec. 31, 2024. The motion was seconded and passed by roll‑call 5–0.
Meeting schedule: The board voted to schedule select board meetings on the second and fourth Tuesdays at 5 p.m. starting Jan. 14, 2025, to avoid conflicts with school‑board meetings; the motion carried 5–0 by roll call.
Consent agenda and other approvals: The board approved the 11/26/2024 meeting minutes by roll call (4 yes, 1 abstention); approved the 2025 holiday schedule; approved the 2024 municipal assessment data certificate; approved an intent‑to‑cut for Map 402, Lot 2; and approved payroll totaling $50,631.
Nonpublic session: The board voted to enter nonpublic sessions under RSA 91‑A:3 II(a) and II(c) at 5:46 p.m. and returned to public session at 6:26 p.m.; they voted that minutes would not be sealed. All recorded roll call votes on the evening’s formal motions were reflected in the meeting minutes.
Next procedural steps: Administrator Emily Nolan and town counsel were authorized to execute documents for the land transaction; staff will post the revised 2025 meeting schedule and file the approved assessment form as required.
