Resident Trinity VanVleck addressed the board Feb. 24 about a rental situation she said lacks proof of tenancy and has left her without heat. VanVleck told the board she has filed police reports and "would like to see if she can get some help." The board discussed legal limits to code‑enforcement access.
Attorney Amy Kendall responded that "legally the town cannot go in until there is written proof from the landlord," and suggested VanVleck contact Legal Services and pursue the eviction process if needed.
