Atkinson trustees unanimously approve $598.57 heating-oil payment from Elderly Assistance fund

Trustee Chair Danielle Zeyher and two fellow trustees approved a $598.57 payment Jan. 14, 2026, to Mike Murphy & Sons, Inc. to cover heating oil for an elderly resident, the Trustees of the Trust Fund (TTF) recorded.

The trustees said the payment meets the criteria of the Elderly Assistance ETF and noted the Board of Selectmen (referenced in the transcript as “BOS”) approved the disbursement at its Jan. 12, 2026 meeting. The TTF voted 3-0 to make the disbursement and transferred the $598.57 from the Elderly Assistance ETF to the Town of Atkinson general fund on Jan. 14; the transfer was to be processed on Jan. 15, 2026.

Trustees present were Trustee Chair Danielle Zeyher, Trustee Chris Tardif and Trustee Selena MacDonald. The transcript does not record a mover or seconder for the motion. No public comments or alternative funding sources were recorded during the brief session. The meeting opened at 11:08 a.m. and was adjourned at 11:10 a.m.

The action provides one-time relief for an individual elderly resident’s heating costs and was processed administratively; the transcript contains no additional detail about the resident’s circumstances, vendor billing, or whether the payment exhausts available funds in the Elderly Assistance ETF. The TTF minutes and the earlier BOS record (Jan. 12, 2026) would be the place to seek further documentation on eligibility and supporting invoices.

The TTF meeting record is signed by Danielle Zeyher, Trustee Chair, and shows the trustees closed the session after completing the administrative disbursement.
