Selectboard sets $400 stipend per constable, approves warrants and leaves minutes to clerk
Summary
The board allocated a $400 stipend to each of two constables (total line item $800), asked them to track hours for potential budget adjustments, approved all warrants, and left minutes for clerk review.
During other business the Selectboard addressed pay for Tunbridge’s constables. Mariah Cilley noted that "the total line item is $800 for two constables." The board decided to allocate $400 to each constable and asked that constables track hours and work so the board can re-evaluate the budget at year-end if additional funding appears warranted.
The board also signed and approved all presented warrants and left approval of minutes to the clerks’ review rather than taking them on the floor. Vice Chair Mike McPhetres moved to adjourn later in the meeting; John O’Brien seconded and the meeting adjourned at 8:54 p.m.
Why it matters: The stipend decision establishes the town’s near-term compensation approach for constables and preserves the board’s ability to revisit the budget after reviewing tracked hours.
