Nelson Select Board approves consent items, adds $903 for Community Kitchen to 2025 warrant
Summary
The Nelson Select Board approved routine consent items, added $903 to the 2025 Social Services warrant for The Community Kitchen (up from $500 in 2024), agreed to a one-hour trial Town Hall playroom for schoolchildren, and approved a grant cover letter for an Eversource application.
The Nelson Select Board approved routine consent items and a small increase in funding for local social services during its Oct. 30, 2024 meeting.
The board voted 3-0 to approve the Public and Non-Public minutes from Oct. 23 and to approve the manifest for Oct. 30. Members also approved a building permit for Dan Schillemat to construct a pole barn for storage.
Selectman Michael Blaudschun moved to add $903 to the 2025 Social Services warrant article for The Community Kitchen, up from the $500 it requested in 2024; the motion carried 3-0. The board recorded the increase as a response to a reported rise in need among Nelson residents.
The board also agreed to a request from Johanna McKenzie and K. Finnegan to allow school children to use the Town Hall as a playroom following Monday story hour on a trial basis. The use is limited to one hour (3:00–4:00 PM) and may not interfere with the Folklore Society’s weekly dances.
After returning from a sealed non-public session, the board voted 3-0 to approve a cover letter for an Eversource grant application submitted through CENH (Community Energy Network of New Hampshire). With no further business, the board adjourned at 5:20 PM; its next regular meeting is Nov. 6, 2024 at 3:00 PM.
Ending: The measures approved were routine and limited in scope; the most substantive fiscal action was the modest $903 addition to the Social Services warrant to support The Community Kitchen.
