Summary

The Selectboard worked through a long list of nonprofit appropriation requests (Fairfield Community Center, Northwest Regional Planning Commission, VNA hospice, Laurie's House, and others) and examined whether the Brigham Library carryover would be included in the budget book.

Board members reviewed multiple nonprofit requests and discussed whether each request included the required budget documentation for inclusion in the town book. Several requests were accepted at the same amounts as prior years; others were marked to follow up with additional materials.

Chair (S1) said the library packet was not present in the printed papers and staff should ensure the Brigham Library's carryover and budget breakdown are included. Members confirmed requests for organizations such as Fairfield Community Center (request $5,000), Laurie's House (request $1,000), VNA hospice (noted as $2,776 in one printed sheet), and others would be placed into the book when the paperwork and page numbers were verified.

The board also flagged organizations that provided no budget detail and tasked staff to request the missing budgets before finalizing appropriation placements in the book.
