At its Sept. 24, 2025 meeting the Town of North East recorded multiple routine approvals.

All appointment motions carried unanimously on motions made and seconded with Planning/Town Administrator recommendations.
Minutes: The board approved the Sept. 10, 2025 minutes on a motion by Commissioner Neil DeMatt, seconded by Vice‑Mayor Kimberly Davis; Mayor Kelly Benson and Commissioner Catherine Bernard‑Dutton abstained due to absence from that meeting.
Water service extension: The board approved a one‑year extension of the Water Service Agreement for the North East Commerce Center (SGMS Lums Road LLC., Lot 7B) to cover 6 Equivalent Residential Units. The motion was made by Commissioner Neil DeMatt, seconded by Vice‑Mayor Kimberly Davis, and passed unanimously.
Appropriations and purchase: The board approved Budget Amendment 2026‑002 (motion by Vice‑Mayor Kimberly Davis) and approved requisition R6‑00517 to purchase a 2025 Ford Explorer for $47,135 (motion by Commissioner Neil DeMatt); both motions passed unanimously.
