Selectboard rescinds prior approval and consolidates Recreation savings and reserve accounts
Summary
Citing a requirement that Town Meeting must approve use of Recreation savings, the Selectboard rescinded a June 2025 motion and combined Recreation savings and reserve funds into a single account for use by the Recreation Committee with future Board approval.
On March 16 the Bradford Selectboard voted to rescind an earlier June 16, 2025 board action that had authorized using Recreation savings and reserve funds for playground equipment. Boardmember Edward Nevells moved to rescind and Boardmember Terrie Allen seconded; the motion passed unanimously.
The board also voted to combine Recreation savings and Recreation reserve into a single account to be used by the current and future Recreation Committees subject to Board approval. The Manager noted that use of savings funds requires a Town Meeting vote; the rescission aligns the board's records with that requirement.
The action returns decisions on expenditure of savings funds to Town Meeting and places management of the consolidated account under Selectboard oversight for future approvals.
