Summary
At its Jan. 8 meeting the Selectboard approved payroll and accounts-payable warrants (including a school payment), adopted a Fund Balance Policy and voted to remove Putney Place from the town’s Social Agency appropriation line after confirming the organization is for-profit.
The Putney Selectboard approved several administrative measures at its Jan. 8 meeting, including warrants, a fund-balance policy and a change to the social-agency line item.
Minutes and warrants: The board approved minutes from Dec. 11 and Dec. 18, 2024. It approved payroll warrants dated Dec. 27, 2024 ($26,133.29) and Jan. 10, 2025 ($22,337.51).
