Committee accepts Ron and Nancy Allen; budget committee member resigns

A local select meeting voted to add Ronald (Ron) and Nancy Allen to its recreation/parking committee and accepted a resignation from the budget committee on a series of routine motions.

A committee member moved "I make a motion that we accept the application for Ronald and Nancy Allen to join the community," another member seconded, and members approved the application by voice. The Allens were described in the meeting as a husband-and-wife team who have been encouraging to beginners and who will help manage pickleball equipment and sessions; the transcript does not record either Allen speaking at the meeting.

Later in the agenda the committee considered an email from Michael Barry indicating, "I'm out," when asked whether he wished to remain on the budget committee. A member moved to accept Barry's resignation; the motion was seconded and approved by voice. The transcript records the resignation was communicated by email and does not include further comment from Barry.

Procedural motions that appeared elsewhere on the agenda included approval of minutes from Jan. 6, 2026, and the meeting adjourned at about 6:58 p.m. The transcript does not record any roll-call tallies for these motions; outcomes were recorded by voice vote.

Next steps noted in the meeting: the newly appointed volunteers will manage pickleball scheduling and equipment, and the committee will fill the vacant budget-committee seat at a later date.
