Selectboard OKs asking for $4,500 for town fireworks line
Summary
Board members agreed to ask for a $4,500 appropriation for fireworks tied to the town's 250th celebration, noting the town balance and need to top up the line item.
The Selectboard moved to increase the fireworks line for the upcoming town celebration to $4,500, reasoning that the historical $700 balance plus local contributions would be supplemented by the appropriation.
"We're considering increasing the line item of the fireworks of the town meeting vote to 4,500 this year," said Chair (S1) as members discussed the request. Members confirmed the book should show the request and the supporting vendor documentation so voters could see the justification for the increase.
Members discussed whether private donations typically supplement the town appropriation and noted the line item covers associated event costs such as porta-potties and vendor supports. The board directed staff to place the request and accompanying paperwork into the budget book so the appropriation would be visible to meeting-day voters.
