At its June 25 meeting the Hope Select Board handled a series of routine municipal actions: it approved an amended agenda, confirmed Shani Dennison as the town's bookkeeper, approved a full slate of 2024–2025 annual appointments, and approved several Treasurer disbursement policies.
Charlie Weidman moved to approve and sign Treasurers and Payroll warrants 97, 98, and 99; Crystal Robinson seconded (the minutes record the motion but do not specify the vote outcome for that warrant motion). The board approved the following policies and actions with motions recorded as passing 3-0 in the minutes: the Treasurer’s Disbursement Warrants for Employee Wage & Benefits Policy; the Treasurer’s Disbursement Warrants for Payment of State Fees Policy; and the Municipal Officer’s Policy on Disbursement of Municipal Education Costs.
Other actions recorded: a five-year appointment of Brian Powers Sr. to the Board of Appeals and approval of a three-day BYOB liquor license for Kristen McMullan (the transcript also contains a later, inconsistent spelling, “McCullen”). The Town Administrator reported administrative updates including no new FY2023 audit developments, a scheduled FEMA meeting regarding the May Day Storm, one building permit issued for Sweetland, LLC at 2 & 4 Church St. for a driveway extension, and outstanding real-estate account balances (FY2024: 86 accounts totaling $143,584.57; FY2023: 13 accounts totaling $30,813.19; the minutes note unpaid 2023 taxes will automatically foreclose on February 11, 2025 if not paid in full).
The board unanimously agreed to close the Town Office on July 5 when state offices are closed. The meeting adjourned at 7:07 p.m.
