Selectboard removes Visiting Nurse appropriation, reallocates $2,796 to other social agencies
Summary
The Putney Selectboard voted to remove a $2,796 appropriation for the Visiting Nurse Alliance of VT & NH after staff noted the agency’s service-area listing no longer includes Putney; the board approved reallocating the funds to other Group B agencies.
The Putney Selectboard voted to remove a $2,796 appropriation for the Visiting Nurse Alliance of Vermont & New Hampshire and reallocate that money to the remaining Group B social agencies. Town Manager Karen Astley told the board that the agency’s website no longer lists Putney in its service area, prompting the proposal to reassign the funds.
Aileen Tulloch moved to remove the appropriation and reappropriate the $2,796 to other Group B agencies; Peg Alden seconded and the motion passed. The minutes record the motion and its passage but do not show a roll-call vote. The action followed the Town Manager’s presentation of a draft 2025 Social Agency questionnaire intended to guide funding decisions.
The board did not specify which Group B agencies will receive the reallocated funds at the meeting; that allocation will be handled administratively as the Selectboard executes its budget approvals. The transcript or packet materials did not list a follow-up date for that allocation.
