Summary
Treasurer presented warrants totaling $46,891.85. The board voted to hold the $3,310.84 library warrant pending confirmation from the library trustees about reimbursement; after the amendment the adjusted warrants total $43,581.01 (vote recorded as 4–1 with one abstention).
The Townshend Select Board approved payroll and fund warrants with a presented total of $46,891.85, then voted to hold the library warrant while trustees confirm whether the library will reimburse the town for a health-insurance expense.
Treasurer read the warrants with amounts: payroll $14,947.04; payroll tax $7,168.18; general fund items and highway and library totals that summed to $46,891.85. A board member proposed an amendment to hold the $3,310.84 library warrant pending confirmation from the library board that it will cover the insurance cost. After the amendment the board recorded the adjusted warrant total as $43,581.01; the chair announced the vote result as 4 in favor and 1 opposed/abstention.
The chair explained the library’s budgeted insurance coverage begins July 1 and the treasurer processed the check earlier; the hold was intended to give trustees time to confirm whether immediate reimbursement will occur. No further fiscal actions were taken that night.
