Votes at a glance: Selectboard approves budget revote, appointments and personnel policy
Summary
At a regular meeting the board approved a revote on Article 54 to fund dam maintenance, appointed a rescue-squad member, adopted a fire-and-rescue driver pay policy at $18/hour, approved prior minutes and adjourned; all recorded votes noted were unanimous (3–0).
The Selectboard recorded several administrative votes and actions during the meeting.
Minutes and routine motions: the board approved prior meeting minutes by motion and roll call (vote recorded 3–0).
Dam budget (Article 54): the board accepted a revised Article 54 regarding the MWDC (Mounds and Watershed Dam Coalition) budget. Staff said the revised request adds a second dam operator for Square Pond, increasing the ask by $1,200. The article asks voters to raise $7,829 for the dam maintenance reserve fund for annual dam maintenance (in coordination with Sanford) and to appropriate $1,426 from the dam capital reserve fund for capital improvements to Emory Mills and Square Pond dams. A motion to accept Article 54 as modified was moved, seconded and approved 3–0.
Appointment to rescue squad: following an interview-committee recommendation, the board moved to appoint Zachary Hoffman to the rescue squad. The motion was seconded and the board voted 3–0 to appoint Hoffman.
Fire and rescue driver policy: the board adopted a driver pay policy (presented at a prior workshop) setting $18 per hour for a department member serving as driver/scribe. A motion to move forward on the driver policy was seconded and approved by a 3–0 vote; the policy was signed during the meeting.
Adjournment and other business: the board noted a range of informational items — permit reports, utility notices, upcoming meetings (planning board Feb. 24; public hearing on the town meeting warrant March 3) — and then adjourned at 5:27 p.m. on a 3–0 vote. The clerk also noted signatures on the warrant and related documents.
