Select Board approves routine permits, appointments and donations in unanimous votes
Summary
At its May 26 meeting the Select Board unanimously approved a series of routine actions including timber tax issuance, cemetery lot sales, a $200 police donation, housing commission appointments, a current-use application, two short-term rental permits, and adjournment.
The Select Board handled a range of routine but consequential administrative actions and approved each by unanimous vote.
Key approvals and votes at the meeting included:
- Timber tax bill: issue timber tax bill for R16 Lots 18A & 18B in the amount of $978.49 (motion passed). - Cemetery lots: accept $700 for seven Jackson Village Cemetery lots (map 748 lots F–L) and approve the lots (motion passed). - Police donation: accept a $200 private donation to the Police Department trust fund in appreciation for house-check assistance (motion passed). - Housing Commission: approve Nick Aceto as a regular member and accept Scott Badger’s move from a regular seat to an alternate (motion passed). - Current-use application: approve placing 24.98 acres of R11 Lot 13 into current use; 0.52 acres excluded (motion passed). - Short-term rentals: approve conditional-use permits for 82B Wentworth Hall Ave (V02 Lot 10-24B) and 16 Pine Brook Rd (R12 Lot 160) (motions passed). - Gazebo: direct staff to post the existing gazebo for bids and consider budgeting for replacement (motion passed to put gazebo out to bid). - Tabling: table Jackson Grammar School bus parking location and the sealed minutes review to the next meeting (motions passed). - Adjournment: meeting adjourned at 5:58 p.m. on a unanimous motion.
Why it matters: these routine approvals affect tax assessments, cemetery inventory, volunteer oversight, housing commission membership, and short‑term rental permissions — all items with practical impact for residents and property owners.
