Selectboard appoints Richard Hill as Isle La Motte Tree Warden
Summary
Richard Hill was appointed Tree Warden at the Dec. 4 Selectboard meeting. The board noted State Ethics Commission guidance allowing a Tree Warden to bid on town tree work up to $2,000; Hill will coordinate with the Road Commissioner on tree issues.
The Isle La Motte Selectboard appointed Richard Hill as the town Tree Warden on Dec. 4 and noted state ethics guidance on contracting limits for the role.
Minutes record that the State Ethics Commission has no issue with a Tree Warden bidding on town tree‑related contracts not to exceed $2,000. Richard Hill "confirmed his continued interest in becoming the Isle La Motte Tree Warden," and the board approved his immediate appointment on a motion by Peter Brzozowy, seconded by Joe Deller. The minutes state Mr. Hill will work alongside the Road Commissioner for tree‑related matters as needed.
The appointment transfers responsibility for town tree issues to Hill under the constraints discussed. The board did not authorize any specific contracts at the meeting; the ethics limit noted will apply if Mr. Hill bids for town work.
