Votes at a glance: Kensington Select Board approves ALS agreement, contract extensions, exemptions and appointments
Summary
The Kensington Select Board approved a one‑year intermunicipal advanced life‑support agreement, extended a landscaping contract, approved veterans and solar exemptions as assessed amounts, and confirmed several committee appointments and routine financial agreements in a voice vote.
The Kensington Select Board approved a slate of routine motions Wednesday, including an intermunicipal advanced life‑support agreement, contract extensions and personnel appointments.
Among the formal actions, the board voted to enter a one‑year intermunicipal agreement for advanced life support (ALS) that the motion described as expiring on 03/31/2027 at 11:59 p.m. The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The transcript records the partnering municipality and program name as spoken in the meeting; the board did not provide an expanded or differently spelled name on the record.
The board also approved a one‑year extension of the town’s lawn/landscaping maintenance contract for 2026 at a stated total cost of $19,840, with monthly payments discussed in the record. A separate motion approved a financial agreement tied to the treasurer/pension matter and was adopted by voice vote.
On tax‑relief items, the board moved to approve an update to the disabled veterans’ exemption amount (the transcript references a current disabled exemption of $1,400) and approved a solar exemption structured as an assessed‑value exemption rather than a fixed dollar amount so the exemption will adjust if assessed value changes.
The board confirmed several appointments: Norbert Ledoux and Tim Brock to the recreation committee and Emily Stegall to the South Camp board. The meeting record shows each name read into the record and the motions were seconded and approved.
Other administrative actions included a motion to reschedule the next regular meeting to Feb. 2, 2026, and a motion described in the transcript as terminating a reserve or position as stated in an email; the transcript records the motion and seconding but does not include full textual detail of the referenced email on the public record.
Most motions were adopted by voice vote; the transcript does not record a roll‑call tally or named individual votes for each motion.
What’s next: The motions that require follow‑up (contract paperwork, notifications to partner municipalities, and posting appointment records) were left to staff to complete. The board did not identify additional public hearings tied to these items during the meeting.
