Johnsburg board to draft local law and contract for town-funded food pantry
Summary
After guidance from the Association of Towns, board members agreed to draft a local law required before taxpayer dollars can fund the town's food pantry; the pantry has already received this year's payment (reported at $12,000).
Town officials said they will draft a local law and follow it with a contract before continuing regular payments to the town's food pantry, citing compliance recommendations from the Association of Towns. "This year, I believe it was $12,000 we gave to the food pantry," Cheryl (S1) said during the discussion confirming last year's and this year's payments.
Board members clarified that the new steps are intended to bring the town into compliance without impacting this year's funding; one member asked and received confirmation that the pantry has already received its 2025 payment. The town attorney will draft example local laws for review and the board plans to adopt a contract once the local law is in place.
