Sabattus Select Board approves administrative measures and appointments; remote meeting change tabled
Summary
The board approved a penny-rounding policy, designated Thomas Williams as acting town manager during a vacation, set the annual town meeting date for June 4, and appointed two planning-board members; a proposed remote-meeting rule change was tabled for drafting.
At its meeting, the Sabattus Select Board approved several administrative measures and appointments and took no final action on a proposed remote-meeting policy.
The board voted by voice vote (tally not specified) to adopt a penny-rounding policy for cash transactions when pennies are no longer available. A motion to designate Thomas Williams as acting town manager during the town manager’s upcoming vacation was approved. The board also set the annual town meeting for June 4 at 6 p.m. at Oakill Middle School.
Two planning-board appointments were approved: Wayne Hayward was appointed to a three-year term on the planning board, and James Palmer was appointed as a three-year alternate. The board approved a motion directing staff (Noel) to provide correspondence related to a foyer request to the town attorney for a Freedom of Information Act review by end of day Jan. 7, 2026. The board also approved the Dec. 16, 2025 meeting minutes, with an instruction to attach the foyer packet per the attorney’s direction.
A proposal to amend the remote meeting policy to allow participation via Zoom/Teams was introduced but several members said they had not seen written language and preferred a drafted amendment. The board agreed to table that change and asked that a written draft be prepared for a future meeting.
Where votes were taken, outcomes were recorded as voice votes with no tallies provided in the transcript.
