Select board authorizes Chair to sign Vermont Sun race permit pending remaining materials

The Leicester Select Board voted to authorize the Chair to sign a permit agreement for Vermont Sun’s race, with the board agreeing the company must supply maps and participant numbers the town requested.

Julie, a town staff member, told the board the town had received a signed agreement and a copy of the state permit and that Vermont Sun’s representatives had committed to “100% comply with your conditions.” The board discussed communication issues that had occurred in earlier exchanges with the applicant and a state representative; Julie said the applicant’s contact, Steve, had been in surgery but that his wife assured the town the outstanding items would be provided.

A select board member moved to authorize the Chair to sign on behalf of the board, another member seconded, and the board approved the motion by voice vote. The Chair said the board could reevaluate the approval “at any time” if the town’s conditions were not met. The board also discussed scheduling and asked Vermont Sun to return to a later meeting if any requirements were still outstanding.

The action was procedural: the board authorized signature of the documents rather than taking a final regulatory or enforcement step; the motion carries no further staff assignments beyond collecting the requested materials.
