Orford Selectboard approves minutes, authorizes fuel contracts and signs routine filings
Summary
The board accepted amended minutes from July 10, authorized the town administrator to sign Dead River fuel contracts once rates are set, agreed to notarize and file a Roby drainage easement, and signed a Public Inspection License application for K Knapp’s Diesel Repair LLC.
The Selectboard handled several routine administrative items during its July 24 meeting, approving prior minutes and authorizing staff to complete filings and contracts.
A motion by Larry Taylor, seconded by Kevin Follensbee, passed 3-0 to accept the July 10, 2024 minutes as amended. The board agreed the Roby drainage easement must be notarized and filed with the Grafton County Registry of Deeds; Selectboard member Chase Kling will take the document to the property owner for signature and notarization.
The board authorized Esther Dobbins-Marsh to sign Dead River fuel-pricing contracts for propane, diesel and heating oil once the town receives an acceptable rate. Chris Crowley requested and received approval to use town auditor Tim Greene for work related to the Perpetual Care Trust Fund. The K Knapp’s Diesel Repair LLC public-inspection-license application was signed for submission to the New Hampshire Department of Motor Vehicles Bureau of Registrations.
The board also reviewed a draft Donor Payment document for the Bandstand Repair & Maintenance Trust and will send agreed language to Town Counsel for incorporation. The Municibid listing for a 2013 International truck will be posted with the revised description and photos.
Why it matters: these administrative steps enable the town to move forward on routine operations—fuel procurement, property easement filings, trust-fund documentation and disposal of surplus vehicles—without further delay.
