Selectboard signs permits, encumbers road funds and approves dental benefits for full-time staff
Summary
At the Dec. 29 meeting, Stratford’s Selectboard approved encumbering 2025 road-project funds into spring 2026, agreed to implement dental insurance for full-time staff, and signed manifests and event permits for North Country Riders & North Country ATV.
The Stratford Selectboard approved encumbering road-project funds from 2025 to spring 2026 and signed related agreements at its Dec. 29 meeting.
Suzanne reported that contractor Mike Lynch was unable to attend because of a snowstorm and road conditions. The board discussed encumbering the 2025 road-project funds into spring 2026; an agreement to encumber those funds was approved unanimously and subsequently signed. The board also discussed executing a liability waiver for Lynch, LLC. Town officials said Mr. Lynch remains committed to completing the town ice rink; Selectman Charlie Goulet will research heater pricing for the rink seating area, with a possible accommodation inside baseball dugouts.
Suzanne presented a quote for dental insurance and recommended adding dental coverage for full-time staff to remain competitive with neighboring municipalities. The board agreed to implement the dental benefit for full-time employees—the transcript records consensus but does not include a formal roll-call tally for that item.
On routine business the board recorded manifest approvals and signed documents. The manifest was approved by Charlie Goulet and Ron Scott Jr. (2-0) to sign for pay periods 12/15/2025 and 12/22/2025. The board also signed and approved minutes (SM 12/15) and issued permits for North Country Riders & North Country ATV, including an NH DOT parade permit, a raffle permit and an event permit.
Two applications from Rollin Baldwin were logged for non-public review. The meeting adjourned at 6:30 p.m.
