Westbrook fire commissioners approve routine motions, set May meeting and note incoming member
Summary
The board unanimously approved motions to seat a voting member, adopt minutes and reimburse the secretary, confirmed the next meeting for May 21, 2026, and acknowledged a newly elected member and outgoing service by a commissioner.
At its March 19 meeting the Westbrook Board of Fire Commissioners approved routine procedural motions, scheduled its next meeting and recorded acknowledgments of board service.
Chairperson Kim Bennett called the meeting to order at 6:06 p.m. Commissioner Sid Holbrook moved to seat Paul Beaulieu as a voting member; Dave Foster seconded and the motion was recorded as approved. Later, Commissioner Dave Foster moved to approve the minutes from the March 19, 2026 meeting; Sid Holbrook seconded and the board approved that motion as well.
Under action items the board approved a motion to reimburse the board secretary for requested time; Sid Holbrook moved and Paul Beaulieu seconded, and the motion was recorded as approved.
The board confirmed its next meeting for Thursday, May 21, 2026 at 6:00 p.m. at the Westbrook Fire Department meeting room. The minutes closed with the board expressing appreciation for outgoing commissioner Dave Foster’s three years of service and noting it looks forward to newly elected member Dave Olmsted joining the board.
Why it matters: these routine actions maintain governance continuity and scheduling; the seating of a voting member and the recorded personnel acknowledgments are the primary formal outcomes recorded during the session.
The meeting adjourned at 7:25 p.m.
