Summary

A volunteer who mows the Fairfield beach reported a resident's car was dinged by a rock; the Selectboard agreed to pay for repairs up to $1,000 and asked the volunteer to coordinate with Town Administrator Cathy Ainsworth.

During public comment, Shayne Bocash said an individual told him a rock dinged her car when he was mowing at the beach and that she provided two repair estimates; the lower estimate was "just over $900." Ron Bocash recused himself from this agenda item. The Selectboard expressed appreciation for Shayne’s in-kind work keeping the beach accessible and agreed to cover the car repair cost up to $1,000, directing Shayne to coordinate with Cathy Ainsworth.

The agreement was recorded as a board decision at the meeting but no formal motion or vote was recorded in the minutes. The board emphasized gratitude for the volunteer’s services while resolving the immediate reimbursement request.
