Summary
At the Jan. 2 meeting the Selectpersons approved minutes, adopted a fee schedule, signed multiple permits and warrants (totaling $54,952.14 across noted warrants), and discussed a prospective used 2005 Freightliner fire truck priced at $115,000 that Fire Chief Chris Holmes located.
The Selectpersons met Jan. 2, 2025 and approved previous meeting minutes, adopted a fee schedule and executed a series of administrative signatures and warrants.
Motions recorded as passed 3–0 included approval of minutes from Dec. 18, 2024 and the Dec. 17, 2024 executive session; adoption of the pending fee schedule; signatures on a Versant pole permit and a supplemental assessment for Account 1333; and authorization of signatures on the CEO contract per a prior vote. The board also voted to approve Payables Warrant #58 in the amount of $2,920.46, Payables Warrant #59 in the amount of $44,160.45, Payables Warrant #60 (HVFD) for $117.34, Payroll Warrant #57 for $3,805.89 and Payroll Warrant #61 for $4,848.80.

During the "Selectperson comments" portion of the meeting, Chair Jack Bridges relayed information from Fire Chief Chris Holmes that the department had identified a potential replacement fire truck: a 2005 Freightliner located in New York priced at $115,000. The minutes note that additional expenses for refitting and painting would be expected if the truck is purchased; no purchase authorization was recorded at this meeting.
No complaints were recorded, and the board adjourned at 6:22 p.m. The minutes do not include the text of the CEO contract, the Versant permit, or the supplemental assessment; those documents were treated as administrative items and signed according to the recorded motions.
