The Derby Select Board voted unanimously Jan. 5 to include a $1,600 appropriation for the Orleans County Historical Society on the Town Meeting warning.

Board members noted the Historical Society is also collecting signatures on a petition that, if successful, would place a separate $4,000 appropriation before voters. The minutes record that the society submitted the lower request in case it does not obtain enough signatures for the larger amount.
