Town clerk reports poll pad arrival and $1,000 election security grant; motion made to buy ballot lockbox
Summary
Town Clerk Susan Supranowicz said the new poll pad has arrived and training will be scheduled. She said a homeland security grant will provide $1,000 per town for police presence at the November state election. Chair Jason Jayko moved to buy a $24.99 ballot lockbox; the motion was seconded by Ken McInerney (outcome not specified).
Town Clerk Susan Supranowicz told the Select Board that the new poll pad for elections has arrived and that she will train election officials on its use. She said she attended the Berkshire County Town Clerk meeting, where a homeland security grant was discussed that will give each town $1,000 to pay for a police officer to be present at the state election in November.
Supranowicz said she would like to install a lock box for ballots outside the Town Hall. Chair Jason Jayko moved that the town treasurer purchase a $24.99 lock box from Amazon; the motion was seconded by Ken McInerney. The meeting record does not specify whether the motion was voted on or approved during the session.
The clerk will schedule training for the poll pad and pursue any required procurement steps for election equipment and security measures. The board reviewed and signed the warrant later in the meeting.
