Select Board accepts $5,000 donation for Old Firehouse, $2,000 from Abenaki and approves trailer placement
Summary
The board accepted a $5,000 gift for the Old Firehouse Community Center from Yankee Pedler Real Estate, approved an additional $2,000 from the Abenaki Waterski Club toward a dock, and voted to relocate the club’s trailer to the originally requested site for July 6–14.
The board approved several itemized donations and event logistics. Selectmen voted unanimously to accept a $5,000 donation from Yankee Pedler Real Estate for repairs to the Old Firehouse Community Center at 32 Leonard Street. In a separate public hearing the Abenaki Waterski Club explained it had increased its dock contribution by $2,000 because the decking cost exceeded the original estimate; the board accepted that additional $2,000 and approved a motion to place the club’s trailer at the originally requested site (July 6–14) to minimize impact on trails and reduce long conduit runs for power.
Chair emphasized the board’s desire to keep temporary event permitting transparent and to pull special-event permits out of bulk votes so they receive individual attention. The board also approved a temporary event permit for an American Legion concert on July 3 (manifest/permits in a bulk vote) and approved a barge permit for Northeast Aachen (motion recorded with one abstention).
