Select Board approves appointments, accepts resignation and clears curb cut; discusses police camera grant
Summary
The Sheffield Select Board appointed two Cultural Council members, accepted a Board of Health resignation, approved a curb cut on Clayton Road, and discussed pursuing a $9,917 insurance grant quote to upgrade police cameras; vote tallies were not specified in the transcript.
At its Aug. 18 meeting, the Sheffield Select Board approved several routine actions and reviewed administrative items.
The Chair moved to appoint Melissa Larkin and Patricia Owen to three-year terms on the Cultural Council; the motion was seconded and approved (vote details not specified).
The board accepted the resignation of Mark McKetti from the Board of Health, effective Aug. 13, and directed staff to thank him for his service. The Chair moved and the board approved the acceptance (vote details not specified).
The board approved a generic curb cut on Clayton Road (permit number to be determined) after confirming the Police Chief/highway superintendent had inspected the location. The motion to approve the curb cut was moved and seconded; the transcript records the motion carried but does not provide a roll-call tally.
Board members also discussed a grant opportunity from the town’s insurer for up to $10,000 to upgrade interior and exterior cameras at the police station. Chief Mson obtained a quote from Lee Audio for $9,917 to integrate cameras with cruiser and body cameras; the board indicated support to move forward, but no appropriation was made tonight.
Administrators reminded residents that transfer station stickers are past the Aug. 15 deadline and that the board will shift its September meetings to the second and fourth Mondays because Sept. 1 is Labor Day. A motion to adjourn was then made, seconded and approved.
Votes recorded in the transcript were procedural and unanimous in form ("All in favor? I"), but specific yea/nea counts and named roll calls were not provided in the meeting text.
