Eden Selectboard appoints Matt Hill as town Dog Officer
Summary
The Selectboard appointed Matt Hill—who also serves as constable—as the town Dog Officer after discussing a stray dog incident on East Hill; the motion by Ricky Morin, seconded by Clayton Whittemore, was approved.
The Eden Selectboard appointed Matt Hill as the town Dog Officer at its Sept. 24 meeting following a report about a stray dog on East Hill. Matt Hill, who serves as Constable, told the board the animal had been captured and placed in the Town Clerk’s Office kennel but later escaped over the fence.
The appointment was made by motion of Selectboard member Ricky Morin and seconded by Selectboard member Clayton Whittemore; the board agreed to the appointment. The item was recorded under “Animal Control Officer Update.” No fees, terms, or oversight conditions for the Dog Officer role were stated in the minutes.
The discussion noted that stray-animal incidents trigger notification to the town and that the town’s kennel facility will be used when animals are captured. The minutes do not record any dissenting votes or conditions attached to Hill’s appointment. The board then proceeded to other agenda items.
