Kate Rochford, director of the Historical Society, asked the Board of Selectmen for $3,750 to fund an assessment of the Kimball House, saying that without the assessment the society could not pursue grants. Selectmen expressed concern about available funds and tabled the request for future consideration when funds are available.
During public comment resident Kayla Gallagher said she believes Warrant Article 2026‑15 was written defectively and should not appear on the ballot. The minutes record the comment as public input; there is no record in the meeting minutes of board action on that claim during the session.
The recorded minutes do not specify a timeline for revisiting the Kimball House assessment request nor provide additional detail about the asserted defect in Warrant Article 2026‑15.
