Selectboard backs OCW move to withhold adulticide services from Salisbury over $17,868 unpaid balance
Summary
Proctor agreed by consensus to instruct its OCW voting members to support notifying Salisbury of a $17,868 balance and to withhold adult mosquito-control services and suspend Salisbury's voting privileges until payment is made.
The Selectboard discussed Salisbury's refusal to pay adulticide charges to the Otter Creek Watershed Insect Control District (OCW) and, by consensus, directed Proctor's OCW voting members to support a set of measures: notify Salisbury of a $17,868 outstanding balance, withhold adult mosquito-control services until that balance is paid, and suspend Salisbury's voting privileges on the OCW board.
Board member Albert Wenta summarized the assessment figures: the 2024 assessment for Salisbury was recorded as $25,440 for the July 1, 2024June 30, 2025 period; Salisbury has paid $7,572 for larvicide, leaving $17,868 due. Jeff Schumann, OCW president, attended the meeting to assist in the discussion; the minutes record no immediate payment by Salisbury during the meeting, leaving the dispute unresolved pending Salisbury's response or payment.
