Bradford Select Board approves warrants, debates shortening newsletter proofreading period
Summary
At its Dec. 2 meeting the Bradford Select Board moved on routine warrants and minutes and debated a motion to remove a three-day proofreading waiting period for town newsletters; the board voted on the motion but the transcript does not include a tally.
The Bradford Select Board on Dec. 2 moved forward on routine financial items and considered changes to how the town approves its newsletter.
Ed Nevells, chair of the Bradford Select Board, led review of the accounts payable and payroll warrants, including payroll warrants #75, #76 and #79. Ed moved action on the warrants and Tim Bubar seconded; the board voted (tally not specified in the transcript).
The board also addressed minutes from two prior meetings. Carlene Oakes moved to approve the Nov. 4, 2024 minutes and Tim Bubar seconded. The Nov. 18, 2024 minutes were tabled.
During open session resident Joyce raised a question about the town newsletter; Chris reported he had not received approval to send it. Terrie-Sue Allen moved to eliminate the three-day waiting period that currently gives board members time to proofread newsletters before release; Carlene Oakes seconded and the board voted on the motion (tally not specified in the transcript).
Board members did not record a detailed public rationale or a roll-call result in the transcript for the newsletter motion or the warrants vote. The lack of a published tally means minutes and official records should be checked for final vote counts and any motion language.
The meeting also listed additional agenda items including capital projects, an executive session on assessment inaccuracies and items for the preliminary 2025 budget.
