Votes at a glance: Selectmen approve banners, AHEPA flag, leases and refunds
Summary
At its March meeting the board approved banner permits for the Discovery to Cure walk and Rotary 5K, authorized an AHEPA flag‑raising for March 25, approved a one‑year farm license at Fred Wolfe Park, and approved tax refunds totaling $6,837.52; all motions passed unanimously.
The Orange Board of Selectmen recorded unanimous votes on a set of routine and consent items at its March meeting.
Highlights of approved items:
- Banner permit for the Beverly Levy "Discovery to Cure" walk (May 3, 2026) — approved; contingency noted if a damaged utility pole is not replaced.
- Rotary Club Thanksgiving Day 5K and waiver of High Plains Community Center rental fees (Nov. 26, 2026) — approved.
- AHEPA Chapter 98 request to fly the Greek flag for Greek Independence Day (March 25) and hold a short ceremony — approved; selectmen recommended the fairgrounds flagpole and agreed the flag would be taken down the same day.
- Renewal license agreement (one‑year) for rental of a farming parcel at Fred Wolfe Park — approved; board emphasized the license is revocable and will not impede BNL’s phased redevelopment work.
- Tax refunds totaling $6,837.52 — approved.
Nut graf: Several community event permits and short‑term administrative actions were approved unanimously, while the Fred Wolfe Park license prompted the more substantive park‑planning debate recorded elsewhere in the meeting.
The board took no additional formal votes on contracts or ordinances beyond these items at this meeting.
