Trappe Town Council continues employee handbook review, schedules Dec. 16 follow-up

The Trappe Town Council continued its review of the municipal employee handbook at a Dec. 3 workshop, set a follow-up session for Dec. 16, 2025 at 2:00 p.m., and voted unanimously to adjourn the Dec. 3 meeting at 5:43 p.m. President Newnam presided and Council members Michael Sullivan, Rose Potter and Walter Chase were recorded as present. Town Administrator Erin Braband is listed as attending and signed the minutes.

Council members spent the workshop reviewing the employee handbook and “discussed possible changes,” according to the meeting record; the transcript does not list specific proposed revisions. The council scheduled a continuation workshop on Dec. 16 at 2:00 p.m. to resume the review process, establishing the next procedural step for any edits to the handbook.

At 5:43 p.m. Council member Michael Sullivan moved to close the workshop; Council member Rose Potter seconded the motion and the council’s recorded action was a unanimous approval to adjourn the meeting. The minutes close with the clerk’s signature line: "Respectfully submitted, Erin Braband, Town Administrator/Clerk." The council did not take other formal votes or adopt policy changes on Dec. 3; the transcript records only the continued review, the scheduling of the next workshop, and the motion to close.
