Summary
By voice vote the Northfield Select Board approved warrant 14‑26 for $163,817.05, received payroll disposition to Jan. 18 for $118,546.97, approved the annual meeting warning, and appointed interim town manager Steven McKenzie as authorized representative for town projects.
The Northfield Select Board voted by voice during its Jan. 27 meeting to approve a warrant totaling $163,817.05 and to receive payroll through Jan. 18 amounting to $118,546.97.
Unidentified Speaker 1 presented warrant 14‑26 (14‑26a through b) and called for a motion; the board signaled approval by voice. "A warrant has been approved without objection," the chair said after the vote.
The board then moved to receive the general ledger disposition for payroll through Jan. 18 totaling $118,546.97; members voted by voice and the payroll report was received with no discussion recorded.
The board reviewed and approved the town’s annual meeting warning for 2026 (23 articles). Members asked procedural questions about Article 3 (whether to list a specific dollar amount rather than a percentage) and clarified that Article 4 funds the Northfield commuter bus rather than senior-center transportation.
Following those approvals, the board moved and seconded to appoint interim town manager Steven McKenzie as the town's authorized representative for projects after the former manager’s resignation; the motion passed by voice vote. The motions and routine approvals recorded in the meeting were taken by voice; the transcript records only collective "aye" votes and does not include a roll-call tally or named mover/second for each motion.
