Select Board approves nonpublic minutes, consent agenda, amends encumbrances and ratifies meeting‑manager contract
Summary
At the Jan. 8, 2026 meeting the Select Board approved nonpublic minutes from Dec. 18, the consent agenda of financial manifests and map‑lot actions, amended 2025 encumbrances to remove a $3,100 line, and approved the meeting‑manager contract with revised pay‑period language.
The Select Board recorded several routine actions during the Jan. 8 meeting.
Approvals: The board voted to approve the nonpublic minutes for Dec. 18, 2025 (voice vote announced as 4–0). The board then considered and approved a multi‑item consent agenda (accounts‑payable and ACH manifests dated across December and year‑end payroll manifests, plus a series of tax‑map lot exemptions and 5‑year reviews); the chair called for the question and the board recorded the motion as passing 4–0.
Encumbrances amendment: The board moved to amend the 2025 encumbrances by removing a container line of $3,100, reducing the total approved encumbrance amount to $162,770.40; the amendment passed by voice vote.
Contract ratification: The board approved updates to the meeting‑manager contract to address a 27th pay period timing issue; contract payments were adjusted to align increases with the April pay period and ensure the manager is paid without an unintended gap. The motion to approve the contract carried on a voice vote.
