WOODBURY, Conn. — The Woodbury Board of Selectmen on Tuesday approved several routine town actions, including a three-year labor counsel contract, donations and committee appointments.
The board unanimously awarded the town’s Labor Counsel contract to Summa & Ryan of Waterbury, effective March 11, 2026, through March 2029. First Selectman Paul Zulpa said the town received three qualified bids and cited convenience and experience as reasons supporting the selection; Selectman Karen Reddington-Hughes and Selectman Richard Coates expressed agreement. The motion carried 3-0.
The board accepted a $3,000 donation from Kathryn “Beth” Pile to sponsor the Woodbury Public Library gala; the donation was accepted with gratitude in a 3-0 vote.
Also on the consent portion of the agenda, the board appointed nine members to an ad hoc Arts & Culture Committee with terms ending Nov. 30, 2027, and appointed Dave Taylor to the Conservation Commission with a term ending Jan. 2, 2029. Both appointment motions passed 3-0.
On policy matters, the board revised the Electronic Document Request/Submission Policy to replace a fixed $2 USB fee with language stating the fee will be "as determined by the Town Clerk" to reflect fluctuating device costs. The Travel Policy was approved with a clarification that mileage reimbursement calculations begin and end at the worksite rather than the employee’s home. Both motions carried 3-0.
The board also approved routine minutes (with two corrections) for its Feb. 24 regular meeting and its Feb. 27 special meeting.
The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn at 8:47 p.m.
What’s next: Most approvals were routine; the town will implement the labor counsel contract and publish any administrative changes tied to policy updates in coming weeks. Minutes are filed subject to Board approval.
