Buxton selectmen deny police-association grievance, approve $232,741.62 in warrants
Summary
The Buxton Selectmen unanimously (among present members) denied a grievance filed by the Buxton Police Association and approved payroll and accounts-payable warrants totaling $232,741.62; votes were recorded as four in favor with one member absent.
The Buxton Selectmen on Dec. 10 read and approved Executive Order 25261208, denying a grievance filed by the Buxton Police Association regarding dispatchers and police officers.
Clerk read the executive order and the board then voted; the action passed with four selectmen voting in favor and one absent. The order cites “article 9B2 of the collective bargaining agreement” as the basis for the denial, as read aloud by the clerk.
The board also approved payroll warrant 49 (executive order 25261206) and accounts-payable warrant 50 (executive order 25261207). The payroll warrant was recorded in the meeting as $121,763.91 (the transcript includes a minor cent-level uncertainty between .91 and .99). The accounts-payable warrant was recorded as $110,977.71. Combined, the two warrants total $232,741.62. Both warrant approvals passed by the same four‑in‑favor, one‑absent margin.
Minutes from the Dec. 3 meeting were approved earlier in the session; that vote was recorded as three in favor, one absent and one abstaining.
No mover or seconder names were recorded on the motions in the public transcript. The clerks’ reading of the executive orders constituted the formal presentation of each item and the board took public votes during the meeting. The board did not announce further steps or appeals related to the denied grievance during the open meeting.
The Selectmen are scheduled to meet next on Wednesday, Dec. 17, 2025, at 7:00 p.m.
