Selectmen review State Police contract proposal and approve $500 fee for unpermitted screen porch
Summary
The board reviewed a State Police service contract proposal and agreed to compare costs with the town's current Sheriff's contract; the board also approved a $500 permit fee for a screen porch built without a permit and signaled plans to update the fee schedule.
The Stoddard Board of Selectmen reviewed a proposal from the State Police for a service contract on Feb. 23 and instructed staff to make informal cost comparisons against the existing Sheriff's contract.
The board did not finalize a contract decision during the meeting; members said they would pursue cost comparisons to inform any future contract change.
On permits, the board approved a $500 permit fee for a screen porch that had been built without a permit and agreed to review and update the town's permit fee schedule, which the board described as outdated.
The selectmen also discussed broader law-enforcement budget pressures tied to the previously noted police employment line increase. The board did not record a roll-call vote on the contract discussion; the permit fee approval was recorded as an approved action in the meeting notes.
