Select Board reviews routine reports and community items: sewer, elections, fair and bat exposure
Summary
The board accepted minutes, heard a sewer performance report, was reminded of the primary election, and discussed community items including a town fair invitation, a bat-exposure incident report and a sheriff’s report noting one speed-related arrest.
Several routine items and community updates were handled at the Aug. 10 Orwell Select Board meeting.
Les Wood moved to accept the minutes of July 27, 2026; Mike Christian seconded and the motion passed. Ed Tracey reported on the sewer plant’s performance (dated Aug. 2), stating it “continues to perform without incident.” Clerk Anna Golann reminded members that the primary election is scheduled for the next day with polls open 10 a.m.–7 p.m.
Andrea Treadway shared a thank-you from Liz Wolf for a recent gender-diverse bike race and distributed a bat-exposure incident report.

The sheriff’s monthly report for July was reviewed and showed one arrest for excessive speed; the board discussed sheriff staffing and patrol-hour scheduling.
