Selectboard approves payroll and accounts-payable warrants; manager reports on FY26 quarter and appeal-related attorney fees
Summary
The board approved payroll of $23,559.54 and accounts payable of $82,432.51, and received the FY26 third-quarter financial report noting attorney fees tied to appeals (two appeals settled so far); manager said fuel and salt costs will be monitored within the Highway budget.
The Selectboard approved warrants at the April 15 meeting: payroll dated April 17, 2026 for $23,559.54 (including the Recreation Director) and accounts payable April 4–17, 2026 for $82,432.51 (including a tax adjustment tied to an appeal and four crosswalk signs for Carol Brown Way). Aileen Tulloch moved to approve the warrants after review and Rebecca "Bex" Slattery seconded; the motion passed.
Karen Astley presented the FY26 third-quarter financial report and told the board attorney fees were mainly from appeals; she said two appeals have been settled so far. A board member asked where diesel fuel is accounted for; Astley said it is in the Highway budget and the town will keep Selectboard posted on fuel and salt costs. The manager also reported the town is waiting on a final VEM payment of $63,406.35 for the Hazard Mitigation generator project and that ARPA and MERP grant reporting is due this month.
The minutes record amounts and indicate active monitoring of variable operational costs but show no additional appropriations or transfers at this meeting.
