Town website near launch; board begins planning MERP fund spending and staff calendar rollout
Summary
Selectboard reviewed the near-complete redesign of the town website and confirmed staged access before launch, agreed to form a small working group to prioritize MERP funds to be allocated by end of 2026, and discussed using a shared staff calendar to show availability.
Chair (Speaker 2) reported the new town website is nearing launch and that staff plan to move the site during low-traffic hours to reduce disruption; a staging site is available for board review. Grace (staff) has been working on uploads and will act as an in-house resource for WordPress edits; some board members asked for additional hands-on training.
On capital planning, the chair proposed forming a small team to review the audit tied to MERP funds and to prioritize how to spend those funds before the end of calendar year 2026. Several members volunteered — Jesse and others — and staff will circulate the audit for review. The board also discussed a shared Google calendar to track staff availability so residents and colleagues know when staff are in the field or out of office.
