Summary
The Select Board voted Feb. 17 to approve a contract with neighboring Grafton to govern EMS service; officials noted a legal conflict of interest related to shared counsel and said the towns will draft an MOU and Grafton voters must approve a three-year arrangement.
The Canaan Select Board on Feb. 17 voted to approve the town's contract with Grafton to establish EMS service arrangements and begin work on an implementation memorandum of understanding.
Board members discussed a legal conflict of interest connected to shared legal counsel between the two towns and said that issue will be addressed as part of the process. The towns intend to develop an MOU outlining a three-year EMS service arrangement; any final agreement will require a vote by Grafton's voters.
The motion to approve the contract as presented was moved by Sadie Wells and seconded by Scott Johnston and carried. The minutes record the board's approval but do not list a roll-call tally.
The board did not specify an implementation date in the meeting minutes. Next procedural steps noted were drafting the MOU and coordination with Grafton for voter consideration.
