Select Board discusses Town Hall preservation committee request and cleaning options

Townshend Select Board · May 14, 2026

Summary

The board reviewed a letter from the Friends of the Town Hall proposing a committee to guide use of a $25,000 preservation reserve and asked the policy committee to draft committee-grounding policies; the board also discussed a local cleaning proposal and directed staff to post the position for public applicants.

Chair (S1) read correspondence from Corey Sicklin on behalf of the Friends of the Town Hall requesting a steering committee to advise on use of the $25,000 Town Hall preservation reserve and to help develop RFPs. Board members emphasized transparency and suggested the policy committee draft rules on how committees are formed and posted publicly before creating a standing committee.

Separately, Ally (S7) reported she had identified a potential local cleaner (a high-school-aged worker) who would charge $150 per visit and $50 more when the upstairs is rented; board members asked Ally to clarify the scope, confirm whether supplies/trash handling are included, and have Connie post the position publicly so the board can compare options at the next meeting.
