Selectmen forward transfer requests to Board of Finance, approve appointments and accept small donation for junior programs
Summary
The board moved multiple budget transfers to the Board of Finance to cover insurance, fuel and benefit shortfalls, approved Economic Development Commission appointments including a chairman, and accepted a $2,037.75 donation to be split among junior programs.
The Board of Selectmen reviewed transfer requests submitted by the interim finance officer to cover shortfalls in fuel oil, insurance deductibles, employee retirement, general liability, health insurance and telephone/HVAC accounts. Chair summarized causes including salary accruals, a higher resident trooper bill and overtime, and the board voted to forward the transfer requests to the Board of Finance.
S2 read appointments to the Economic Development Commission: Ethan Biggs and Gregory Post for five‑year terms, John Turnberg moved from alternate to a full member (unexpired term to 07/01/2030) and Gregory Post was named EDC chairman with a term to expire 06/30/2027. The board approved the appointments as presented.
The board also voted to accept a $2,037.75 donation that had been designated for youth programs following the end of a police cadet program; the chair said the board would split the funds across departments for junior firefighter/junior cadet programming. The chair noted the town applied for an early‑voting grant and believed the award would be about $7,500 but said the amount was not final.
