Fire department representatives reported that engine 2 has been taken out of service and discussed grant reimbursement for a hydrant installation; they asked the board to accept a private donation earmarked for the Fire Pond reserve. The board voted to accept a $9,500 donation and to deposit it to the Fire Pond reserve account.
After an executive session to discuss appointments, employment and contracts (pursuant to BSA1313A), the board returned to the public meeting and reported that it would extend an offer to a road-crew candidate and that it will host a special town meeting on June 3, 2026 to request resident authority related to a treasurer who is a state resident. The board recorded the acceptance of the donation with a motion and voice vote but deferred finalizing personnel paperwork and hourly-rate specifics to post-executive-session documentation.
