Putney Selectboard reviews draft town-meeting warning, asks exempt organizations to meet Jan. 7
Summary
The Selectboard reviewed a draft Town Meeting warning and asked representatives of the Putney Gun Club and Yellow Barn to meet with the board at its Jan. 7, 2026 meeting. The board also identified potential revenue items for consideration, including short-term rental fees and a solar tax.
The Putney Selectboard reviewed a draft Town Meeting warning at a special meeting on Dec. 17, 2025 and asked representatives of two exempt organizations to meet with the board at its next regular meeting on Jan. 7, 2026. Town Manager Karen Astley presented the draft and asked, “Is there anything the Selectboard wants to add?”
Board members identified the Putney Gun Club and Yellow Barn as exempt organizations that should be invited to discuss their inclusion and requested that representatives attend the Jan. 7 meeting. The discussion also flagged several potential revenue items for the warning: short-term rental fees, a solar tax, modifications to the meals-and-rooms tax, and issues around late filing of homestead-exemption documentation. The minutes record review and direction without a formal vote on specific warning language.
