Board permits volunteer school group to repair Guides building with donated funds
Summary
The board unanimously authorized a volunteer school group to fix the Guides building using donated funds, provided the town incurs no cost and lease terms (if any) allow it; staff will confirm lease details with Connie and follow up.
At the budget workshop the board voted to allow a school group to repair the Guides building on a volunteer basis using donated funds, provided the repairs do not conflict with lease terms or create a cost for the town.
"There will be no cost incurred by the town," the mover said when proposing the motion; it was seconded and the board responded with voice votes of "Aye." The board asked staff to verify the lease and to report back to confirm there are no lease or legal impediments.
Why it matters: the decision allows local volunteers to restore a community building and to create additional programming space for the school without affecting the town’s budget. Board members emphasized confirming any lease or association agreements before work begins.
Next steps: staff will follow up with Connie and report any lease details and proposed schedules; the mover agreed to inform the interested volunteers.
