Essex selectmen approve rights-of-way agreement, recommend conservation encumbrances
Summary
At their July 15 meeting the Essex Board of Selectmen approved a resolution authorizing the First Selectman to sign a Master Municipal Agreement for rights-of-way projects and recommended conservation encumbrances totaling $3,175 to the Board of Finance; the board also tabled a job description.
The Essex Board of Selectmen on July 15 approved a resolution authorizing First Selectman Norman M. Needleman to sign the "Master Municipal Agreement for Rights of Way Projects" and recommended two conservation encumbrances totaling $3,175 to the Board of Finance.
The resolution was moved by Selectman Bruce M. Glowac and seconded by Selectman Stacia R. Libby; the motion was recorded as unanimously approved. Town Clerk Caitlin Riley certified the resolution on July 16, 2026.
On budget items, the board reviewed the Town of Essex FY2025–26 non-payroll encumbrances and voted to recommend two charges to the Board of Finance: a sum not to exceed $675 to All Habitat Services, LLC for Conservation Commission grounds maintenance, and a sum not to exceed $2,500 to Connwood Foresters, Inc., to be encumbered from Conservation Commission 'Other Consultants' and 'Grounds Maintenance & Repair'. Those two items were presented from a table of non-payroll encumbrances that totaled $3,175 for the fiscal year.
A separate motion by First Selectman Needleman to table the job description for an Administrative Secretary II / Social Media Administrator was seconded by Selectman Libby and approved.
The board approved the meeting agenda (with the addition of the rights-of-way resolution) and the minutes of the July 1, 2026 meeting earlier in the session.
What happens next: the selectmen recommended the encumbrances to the Board of Finance for final action and the certified resolution gives the First Selectman authority to execute the rights-of-way agreement on behalf of the town.
