Selectboard creates community fund to support local TNR work for feral cats
Summary
The Selectboard approved creation of a non‑Town-funded donations account to support Janet Zug's Trap/Neuter/Return program for stray and feral cats; Becky Hoyt will set up the fund and a shared tracking document, and the program will be promoted on the town website and in the town report.
Janet Zug updated the Selectboard on her Trap/Neuter/Return (TNR) work in the Tunbridge area and asked for a mechanism to collect donations to support the program; she said current costs have been covered by herself and other residents. Becky Hoyt offered to set up a fund and a shared document to track donations and expenditures, and to help develop policy and procedures for managing the funds.
Mike McPhetres moved to create a fund to support Tunbridge-area stray or feral cats and the TNR program led by Janet Z.; John O'Brien seconded and the motion passed. The minutes record that the fund is intended to be supported by donations and not with Town general funds. The board suggested posting information about the fund on the Tunbridge website and including it in the annual town report going forward.
