Tamworth Select Board approves donations, appoints conservation member and clears routine financial items
Summary
At its May 26 meeting Tamworth’s Select Board appointed Kerianne Holstrong to the Conservation Commission, approved donations to its energy trust fund, and passed a set of routine motions including minutes, a timber‑yield tax and several accounts-payable items; the board also entered nonpublic session under a cited RSA provision.
The Tamworth Town Select Board handled routine governance and financial actions at its May 26 meeting, appointing a conservation commission member, voting to accept private donations for an energy fund and approving several financial motions and meeting minutes.
Why it matters: Appointments and routine financial approvals maintain town operations and stewardship of public lands and funds. The appointment to the Conservation Commission fills a two‑year term through 2028.
Appointment: The board voted to appoint Kerianne Holstrong to the Conservation Commission for a two‑year term ending in 2028; the appointee thanked the board.
Minutes and finance: The board moved to approve public and non‑public meeting minutes dated May 12, 2026, and approved amended minutes from April 14, 2026. Members approved a timber‑yield tax payment of $5,544 and granted an abatement for $160. The board approved accounts payable (the transcript reads the amount as “$412,6291” and identifies roughly $300,000 of that total as a school payment); members recorded roll‑call 'yes' votes for these items in the transcript.
Nonpublic session and adjournment: The board voted to go into nonpublic session under a cited RSA provision in the transcript (“RSA 91 A32C”), later returned to public session and voted that the nonpublic minutes would not be sealed. The meeting adjourned in under an hour.
What’s next: Routine items were closed; the board will follow up on any outstanding documentation or corrections (for example, finalizing numeric records that committee members noted as differing in bookkeeping).
