Hardwick Select Board votes: personnel policy, licenses, job title change and other business
Summary
At its regular meeting the Hardwick Select Board approved an amended agenda, approved prior minutes, adopted an updated personnel policy, renewed several liquor and cannabis licenses, authorized a MERP insulation contract, approved a job‑title change and added 0.01 miles to the town highway map. All recorded motions carried by voice vote.
The Hardwick Select Board completed several routine and substantive votes at its Feb. 19 meeting.
The board amended the meeting agenda to remove item 5 and change the reason for executive session to potential litigation; the motion carried by voice vote. The February 5 minutes were approved without change.
The board approved an updated personnel policy that formalizes compensation for employees covering other positions and clarifies family‑leave definitions. The motion to adopt the policy carried.
Licenses: the board renewed a Tier 2 manufacturing cannabis license for Queen Cannabis Company and approved a retail cannabis license renewal for WIC Cannabis Market (formerly The Cannabis Shop) after noting an ownership change and no reported violations. The board also approved a liquor and tobacco license for Topps Market LLC after the clerk reported no violations.
Contracts and personnel: the board authorized the town manager to execute a contract with NEK Comfort LLC for MERP‑funded insulation work (packet figure $100,920; a slightly different figure appears in the motion) and approved changing the zoning administrator job title to Zoning and Floodplain Administrator / Resilience and Adaptation Coordinator with an updated job description.
Grants and mapping: the board agreed to provide a letter of support for AWARE's Vermont Women's Fund grant application and approved adding 0.01 miles to the town highway map for a short cut‑through between Moulton Lane and Richardson Road.
All motions recorded in the transcript were carried by voice vote; where a dollar amount or numeric detail in the record was inconsistent (MERP grant amount, Sprint Fest line) the board will confirm contract and packet figures in official records.
