The board approved a recommended tax abatement, accepted a donated 3-phase recycling unit to be evaluated for hookup costs, and authorized up to $3,000 from the Whitcomb Hall expendable trust for exterior electrical work and spotlight wiring.

The Select Board took several formal actions during the meeting. Members approved a tax abatement recommended by the town's contract assessor (Bernice Consultants) after a short motion and discussion. Board members also discussed and accepted the donation of a used 3-phase recycling unit (presented as a significant in-kind contribution that may cost to hook up), and directed staff to have public works and the facilities crew evaluate moving and hookup options.

Separately, the board approved a motion to authorize up to $3,000 from the Whitcomb Hall expendable trust to install conduit, two outdoor ground-mounted outlets, wiring for spotlights and related labor and materials. The motions were seconded and carried by voice vote. The board asked staff to return with estimates and funding confirmations where needed.
