Tremont Select Board approves warrants; one large warrant passes with an abstention
Summary
The board approved a slate of FY26 warrants Dec. 15, including routine smaller disbursements and a separate approval of warrant #62 for $252,703.52 that passed 2–0–1 with Select Board member Eric Eaton abstaining.
The Tremont Select Board voted Dec. 15 to approve multiple FY26 warrants covering routine municipal payments, and separately approved warrant #62 for $252,703.52 after an abstention by Select Board member Eric Eaton.
Select Board member Kevin Buck moved to approve several FY26 warrants (nos. 60, 61, 63–66) totaling smaller disbursements; Eric Eaton seconded and the motion passed unanimously. The board later considered FY26 warrant #62 for $252,703.52; that motion passed 2–0–1 with Mr. Eaton recorded as abstaining.
Why it matters: Warrants authorize payment of municipal obligations. The separate recording of an abstention on the larger warrant is a notable voting detail in the minutes, though the minutes do not state the reason for the abstention.
Board composition and votes: The minutes list three members present for votes — Select Board Chair Jamie Thurlow, Kevin Buck and Eric Eaton — with McKenzie Jewett and Howard (Howdy) Goodwin excused. For the unanimous motions the minutes report the motion passed unanimously; the warrant #62 approval is recorded as 2|0|1 (yes|no|abstain).
Next steps: The approved warrants will be processed according to the town’s normal accounts-payable procedures.
At the meeting: Motions to approve warrants were made by Kevin Buck and seconded by Eric Eaton; the warrant #62 approval shows Mr. Eaton abstained.
