Manchester Selectboard honors late employee, dedicates 2025 Town Report to longtime volunteer
Summary
The Selectboard opened its Feb. 3 meeting with a moment of silence for late town employee Shawn Towsley and announced the 2025 Town Report will be dedicated to volunteer Joyce Scribner; the board approved routine minutes and scheduled its next meeting for Feb. 17, 2026.
Ivan Beattie, Chair of the Town of Manchester Selectboard, opened the Feb. 3 meeting by asking for a moment of silence for recently deceased Town employee Shawn Towsley, noting his “valued work and dedication to the Town.”
Beattie also announced that the 2025 Town Report will be dedicated to Joyce Scribner, reading the dedication prepared by Cynthia Kilburn and recalling personal memories of spending time at the Scribner household. The board approved the Jan. 20, 2026 minutes by a 5-0 vote; Scott Murphy said a missing attendee list for the Jan. 23 minutes will be added and returned for approval at a future meeting.
The board adjourned at 7:55 p.m. and scheduled its next meeting for Feb. 17, 2026. (The minutes contain a signature line dated 2/17/24, which appears to be a clerical error and not consistent with the stated 2026 meeting schedule.)
