The West Forks Monthly Assessors met on May 19, 2026. Members approved the previous month’s minutes and reviewed the treasurer’s report, which listed a checkbook balance of $153,002.52 and several reserve and certificate of deposit accounts.
The treasurer’s report, read aloud at the meeting, itemized funds in operating and restricted accounts: Fire Department $16,333.49; Road $14,024.99; School (noting $15,470.38 spent); Transportation $33,982.07; Tuition $28,000.00; Cemetery $1,747.69; Fire Department Reserve $52,903.95; Community Grant $54.81; Fire Truck Account $12,000.00; EMS Sustainability $8,417.00; Scholarship CD (labeled in the minutes as "Plantation CD's Scholarship CD") $15,413.92; Durgin Cemetery $10,000.00; and a Fire Station CD at $152,149.84. The report was received; no formal spending actions were recorded beyond items already noted as spent.
Board members recorded two open items for follow-up. First, the Fire Department grant application was noted as still processing with no approval yet. Second, the board agreed to mark the ballfield with ropes and signs to direct parking for the Mud to Market event scheduled for June 20, 2026.
Under new business the board approved removal of several trees on the snowmobile trail in the ballfield section to clear the route; the minutes record the decision but do not specify contractor, timeline or mover/second for that item.
Action items recorded in the minutes include approval of the prior meeting minutes (motion by Jim St. Laurent; second by Lynda Grant; vote recorded as "AIF") and adjournment (motion by Adam Chase; second by Lynda Grant; vote recorded as "AIF"). The meeting adjourned at 4:20 p.m.
Next steps noted in the minutes: monitor the outcome of the pending fire department grant application and implement parking signage for the June 20 Mud to Market event. No dates or vendors were specified for the tree removal on the snowmobile trail.
