Board allocates four coin-drop dates and agrees to revisit policy for more frequent events
Summary
Fair Haven selected four nonprofit coin-drop permit winners for the May–Labor Day season and asked staff to add a policy review to the next agenda to consider allowing more frequent coin drops per weekend.
Staff advised the selectboard that there were five applicants for the town’s annual coin-drop lottery (which permits four coin-drop days between May 1 and Labor Day) and the board drew which groups would receive permits this year. Castleton Community Center, the congregation of the 1st Congregational Church, the Knights of Columbus, the Fairhaven dog park, and Slate Valley Unified (middle-school fundraiser) were named among applicants; staff assigned who would run that year’s draws and slots.
During the discussion a board member asked that the policy be re-examined to allow more frequent coin drops (for example, two coin drops per weekend during May–September). The chair said the policy itself was not on the agenda for final action but asked staff to add a full policy review to a future meeting so the board could consider opening more permitted days if desired.
What happens next: staff will issue the allocated coin-drop permits for the season and will put the coin-drop policy review on a future agenda for board consideration.
