Richmond Selectboard: microphone purchase, emergency order and flood-response purchase orders approved
Summary
At its Sept. 3 meeting the Richmond Selectboard approved spending up to $2,000 for a ceiling microphone to improve meeting audio, adopted Emergency Order 2024-2 for flood-hazard permitting, authorized multiple amended purchase orders for flood repairs and approved town warrants.
Beyond the large South View discussion, the Richmond Selectboard approved several routine but consequential administrative items Sept. 3.
The board authorized up to $2,000 from the Town Center and Library Reserve fund to purchase a ceiling microphone array to improve audience audio for broadcast and meeting minutes; Mansfield Community Television staff described the ceiling array as directional and effective for audience pickup.
The board adopted Emergency Order 2024-2, a short-term amendment that clarifies permitting requirements in the Flood Hazard Overlay District and gives 90 days after the order expires for required permits to be obtained; the change was presented as necessary to protect the town's National Flood Insurance Program status.
In response to flood-related damage, multiple purchase orders for emergency road and culvert repairs were amended and approved, and the board approved a $36,505 purchase order for Volunteer Green flood cleanup and tree removal. The board also approved warrants and several fire-department and towing repairs as recorded in consent items.
