Selectboard approves pier terms, small harbor purchases and routine warrants; multiple administrative votes recorded
Summary
Across 2022 meetings the Stonington Selectboard approved warrants/minutes, approved pier 2023 terms, purchased a $600 harbor safety pump, awarded tax‑acquired property bids and approved several licensing and contract actions (sheriff contract, resiliency planning, grants).
The Selectboard recorded numerous routine but substantive administrative decisions across meetings in 2022:
- Weekly warrants and meeting minutes: multiple meetings opened with motions to approve minutes and warrants (motions and votes recorded across sessions). - Harbor and pier actions: the board approved 2023 pier terms and conditions and voted to purchase a harbor safety pump for $600 (motion by Richard Larrabee Sr., second by John Robbins; vote 4‑0 recorded). The Harbor Committee’s annual review and budget items were discussed repeatedly. - Property and procurement: at least two tax‑acquired property bid awards were recorded (Cottage St to the Thorpes for $151,270; Pink St to an abutter for $113,550). A motion to sell six granite blocks from town stock for $25 was recorded with a 2‑1 vote and an abstention. - Contracts and projects: the Selectboard signed the 2022 sheriff contract after town meeting approval and approved a $35,000 economic resiliency consulting fee for planning work (motion recorded and approved). The board also approved applying for a peninsula wildfire mitigation grant.
Where recorded, motions include mover/second and vote counts in the meeting minutes. The transcript records votes and outcomes for routine and some substantive items; it does not show final town‑meeting outcomes for matters (like INH funding) that require a petition.
What happens next: items requiring follow‑up (examples: MDOT bridge discussions, INH financials, ordinance drafts) were flagged for staff work or future meetings; the board continued routine approvals of warrants and appointments.
