Select Board approves $5,000 for Old Home Day fireworks, splits cost between budget and rec revolver
Summary
The Select Board approved a $5,000 quote for fireworks at Old Home Day and amended the motion to split payment between the operating budget and the recreation revolver fund; the motion passed by voice vote.
The Kensington Select Board voted to approve a $5,000 fireworks quote from Power Technical for Old Home Day after recreation staff explained plans to move the event to September to boost attendance. The board amended the motion to split the cost between the town budget and the recreation revolver fund (50/50) before approving the expense by voice vote.
"I'll make a motion to approve the Power Technical, fireworks quote $5,000 for the, old home day," the select board member said when introducing the motion. Board members discussed taking part of the amount from the rec revolver to avoid concentrated budget pressure and noted the recreation program’s enrollment and revenue supported a portion of the cost.
The motion was seconded and carried by voice vote after the board clarified the funding split; the town administrator and recreation staff will finalize the payment details and sign the vendor agreement. No further appropriation vote was recorded; the motion directed staff to execute the contract under the agreed split.
