Sunderland Select Board Approves Amendments to South County Senior Center Agreement
- Meeting Overview:
In a recent meeting, the Sunderland Select Board approved amendments to the South County Senior Center intermunicipal agreement. The primary focus of these amendments is the revised formula for cost allocation among towns, now based on the latest census data. This change aims to ensure a fairer distribution of financial responsibility. Additionally, the board of oversight structure was discussed, with flexibility for towns to impose stricter membership criteria if desired.
The board members thoroughly reviewed the amendments, which included minor wording adjustments from legal counsel. The discussion ensured that the town retains the discretion to have a select board member on the oversight board if preferred. A motion to approve these amendments was passed, reflecting consensus on the board’s part.
In other business, the Select Board approved several Class 2 used car dealership and non-alcoholic common victualler licenses. The approved licenses include establishments such as a Korean deli, Dunkin Donuts, and Wild Roots Cafe and Market. The approval process was streamlined by referencing a pre-distributed list, with board members raising no objections.
Updates were also provided on the fiscal year 2027 budget and capital request submissions. The board will review progress in the upcoming weeks to address any delays.
The board discussed the town’s financial contribution towards the Frontier Regional School’s parking lot repaving project. The projected cost is over $1 million, but the towns will only cover 10% collectively, with Sunderland’s share being approximately $26,000. This amount is expected to be manageable within the town’s budget.
