Other decisions
| Earlier executive session report | Chair reports 'no action taken' coming out of the earlier executive session; a resident disputes that an action (sending a letter) was taken without a vote. |
| Third road worker job offer | Board posted a job offer for a third road worker; agreement in principle on a starting wage around $25/hour (negotiable, more with a CDL license), but no wage was posted on the listing. |
| East Road grant status | AOT confirms the construction grant (good until 2027) can be signed once the project is defined; town is seeking an estimate for an aluminum box, collar, and headwalls, which will still exceed the grant, so the town will probably need to ask the March town meeting for money. |
| 911 house numbering plan | No ordinance change tonight. Board agreed to place an amendment raising the civil penalties (current: $10 initial / $15 second within six months / $20 subsequent) on the next meeting's agenda, and to re-survey the town (last survey ~5 years ago). Laurie (Lori) will send out reminder letters. Emergency management coordinator has authority to enter non-compliant premises, install signs/posts, and charge the owner reasonable costs. |
| School building ownership | A selectboard member (Speaker 8) stated all three deeds show the residents of Stamford own the building and that the town must never let ownership pass to a regional education alliance; town and fire department should keep access/keys. |
| Planning commission status | Planning commission chair asked the selectboard to confirm the full commission; possible vacancy. Board appointed three alternates instead and will wait for the commissioner's (Dave's) written resignation before confirming. Town plan is due within a year and bylaws are being rewritten, both with BCRC grant support, so a functioning board is needed. |
| Recycling center | Wood chips: the recycling agency still offers them (now extra rather than included; 6 bales delivered) - will see the bill before deciding. Put rule signs on all containers (some already have them); possibly print rules on the back of punch cards. Nancy (chair) is the Bennington County Solid Waste Alliance town rep (4 meetings/year, Zoom) and is looking for a successor. |
| Employee policy handbook review | Deferred ('kick that one down the road'); a Monday 10:00 working session with Lori tentatively set. |
| Joint meeting with school | After a good joint meeting a couple weeks ago, the superintendent/principal will provide a breakdown of what the town can take over vs. the school; board wants to set a second joint meeting at the end of that session instead of only meeting once a year. |

Public comment (6)
| Speaker 1 | Complaint that at the last meeting the board took action in executive session (sending a letter, dictating it to the clerk) with no vote while residents waited outside; chair acknowledges an oversight, says 'no action taken', and apologizes. |
| Speaker 8 | Defends the board's handling of the same episode, saying the public was aware of it; exchange ends with the chair thanking 'Jim' and saying the board will try to be more careful. |
| Speaker 50 | During the code-of-ethics discussion, says past complaints were not addressed by the board and asks how the new process will actually work; is asked if she still wants to speak and says 'I'll see what happens.' |
| Speaker 10 | During the 911 numbering discussion, asks about implementation and offers $16 to have a number sign made. |
| Speaker 46 | Offers to install 911 number signs (riveted to a metal pipe and driven into the ground) for an hour's wage plus materials. |
| Speaker 23 | Notes that the assistant town clerk and treasurer position is open while job postings are being discussed. |
Follow-ups named in the minutes
- Code of ethics ordinance: Lori to work up amended language; 14-day publication window means adoption and signing must line up - schedule accordingly.
- 911 numbering: put higher-fines amendment on next meeting's agenda; re-survey the town; Laurie's reminder letters; signs available at $16.
- East Road: get aluminum box/collar/headwall estimate, then ask the March town meeting for the difference.
- Planning commission: obtain Dave's written resignation, then confirm the full commission; town plan (1-year deadline) and bylaws rewrite await a functioning commission and BCRC grants.
- School: get the superintendent's cost breakdown; set a second joint meeting; protect town ownership and access to the building (deeds show residents of Stamford own it).
- Town sign: follow up with the sign maker; finalize the mounting system (lighten by removing outside steel frame).
- Emergency management plan: get the school's contact info (new principal) and send the plan (school board chair Cindy; Julie Slanson email found).
- Second quarter financials to be reviewed by the next meeting; auditor recommendations being implemented one at a time (Lori combining finances).
- Mini-split: get ~3 quotes and talk to Joe Veresky; Speaker 50 to look into the technology.
- Wood chips: decide on a source once the bill arrives.
- Recruiting: third road worker (~$25/hr), recycling center fill-in, BCWSA town rep successor.
- Employee policy handbook review rescheduled (Monday 10:00, tentative, with Lori).
What the extraction was unsure about
- Front-matter present list contains 'Kurt Gamari John Dunn', likely two names (Kurt Gamari, John Dunn) missing a comma; used verbatim as instructed.
- Speaker diarization is automated; many turns carry structural labels (Speaker 1-77) and identities are not assigned. Where the transcript itself names someone (chair thanks 'Jim' to Speaker 1; 'Lori'/'Laurie', 'Bill', 'Dave', 'Bob', 'Mike'), the name is noted but primary attribution stays the label used.
- The East Road grant agreement vote is not recorded - discussion moves on after the second; outcome marked no-formal-vote.
- June minutes approval is implicit; an unattributed 'four' may be a count but no count is stated by the chair, so vote is null.
- Transcript is a faster-whisper transcription with many garbled/placeholder sections; exact figures (e.g., County Road quote) are garbled and flagged.
- The 'motion to go in executive session' and 'motion to sign both permits' passages are heavily garbled; 'passed' is based on the 'second all in favor' pattern in the transcript.
- The actual transcript path is transcripts/2025/2025-07-17_selectboard.md (the task cited 2025/...); the brief links to the actual path.

Speaker 2: Oh
Speaker 4: So I think what was done before you do we have any do we take any action?
Speaker 6: You were dictating it to Laurie when we walked in. Oh, sorry. Well, did we come out?
Speaker 7: These oversights are just starting to get a lot
Speaker 8: They were.
Speaker 10: We didn't. We didn't make any building name.
Speaker 11: Me too.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think I was here. Yeah, four.
Speaker 13: Yep. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Speaker 13: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Speaker 10: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Speaker 14: Well, I can tell you that right now that concrete box is almost $600,000.
Speaker 15: The cost of the project. Yeah.
Speaker 15: Are you talking about East Road after it's been painted?
Speaker 17: They told me around August.
Speaker 18: it before you know it and see the clark's burger or that you know let's see we ever
Speaker 14: I mean, you could take out a loan.
Speaker 20: Yeah.
Speaker 13: I'm not sure where everyone's at.
Speaker 13: Gauge and temperature, where everyone's at.
Speaker 13: It's got people that see the long run.
Speaker 21: That seems to be lacking more and more often.
Speaker 23: That's three.
Speaker 7: Right.
Speaker 24: We do have some.
Speaker 10: That's on our agenda, right? Yeah.
Speaker 25: Okay.
Speaker 25: It was a hot one.
Speaker 26: Yeah.
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 13: We're all free.
Speaker 27: Yes.
Speaker 24: Right.
Speaker 14: There still is a sawmill in town.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 27: cardboard boxes. You've got to break it down. They don't always bring
Speaker 28: They probably don't read them anymore.
Speaker 12: Where the boat takes it?
Speaker 12: PVC.
Speaker 20: It's not a simple...
Speaker 29: lit it on fire.
Speaker 26: Well, I put last year's local emergency plan and just added the new DOC on that we put on.
Speaker 30: The what?
Speaker 26: The emergency operations coordinator. We added Stephanie Schalberg onto the group.
Speaker 26: I changed the website that I had on last year. Okay. But I'm struggling to get the information from the school as far as proper contact information for setting up the you know, we're not going to set up something for Bob. So it's not really, there's not a change on that. Is that the one I sent you, Lori?
Speaker 26: Yep.
Speaker 26: That was your contact. Oh.
Speaker 31: I don't know if he's still here.
Speaker 28: Well, our zoning map.
Speaker 26: . Oh, yeah, that looks better, yeah.
Speaker 26: Visually, when we sent it to the school, it was the same.
Speaker 26: . .
Speaker 26: .
Speaker 26: . Yeah. . . .

Speaker 12: .
Speaker 30: .
Speaker 35: .
Speaker 36: funds. So then all you have to do is change.
Speaker 37: Well we've got to change the ordinance first. Adding that to this
Speaker 37: Maybe add that to the reminders. I think it's, did she put it right on
Speaker 20: and. We went up, when I went with you
Speaker 38: they're going to ignore it the same way they did before.
Speaker 13: Do you remember Bill, how many houses roughly, percentage-wise, didn't have the signs five years ago?
Speaker 39: I'd say 125. Why not just make them and send them
Speaker 40: to make it look like a city. But if I recall, like my address
Speaker 41: Well more, yeah, more than now.
Speaker 42: It's all somewhere in the documentation of when we started. I don't know how it works
Speaker 29: And we can see it. Let's do it.
Speaker 43: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4: Why don't they put them up now? I have a proposition.
Speaker 44: I will yield to Bill any day, but C.J. was here a couple of times,
Speaker 45: I would be willing to purchase the signs, rivet them to a metal pipe,
Speaker 41: how do we know if people comply
Speaker 41: through the town again
Speaker 46: Well, yeah.
Speaker 12: I'd go at least $25.
Speaker 25: of noncompliance.
Speaker 10: I was going to say that again. You said it was 10 each day?
Speaker 25: I thought there was a...
Speaker 12: I don't think it should be every day.
Speaker 2: coordinator.
Speaker 13: You got another job.
Speaker 28: associated therewith.
Speaker 35: Well, really, all you're doing
Speaker 47: We could use that part of it.
Speaker 48: Criminal court? 911. $60.
Speaker 41: Yes.
Speaker 46: How would you just
Speaker 49: when they call in.
Speaker 41: a 911 number.
Speaker 29: The state knows.
Speaker 12: They probably don't have
Speaker 14: the first left.
Speaker 25: Would you say it's a long driveway
Speaker 14: and give it a high attention.
Speaker 20: Some of it has to be
Speaker 20: where to call it as part of the road.
Speaker 14: He's got a phone in his hand.
Speaker 29: We're outside.
Speaker 50: Can I speak here a minute?
Speaker 10: or intimidated. It is.
Speaker 10: what we are doing. Let's try it. See how it goes. Again, we talked about this for three meetings in a row.
Speaker 51: My feeling
Speaker 48: is too many foots spoil the broth. We make it needlessly complicated. We are not trying to find out what happened to D.B. Cooper. We are not trying to find out if there was a second gunman in Dallas. There was. Somebody comes up.
Speaker 10: No.
Speaker 47: I wasn't even a parcel of my daddy's bag.
Speaker 48: But anyway and I wish I had never used the word investigation. This should be more of a fact finding. Very simple. It said who, what, when, where. And now I am going to throw out just another idea for consideration. Cut out the middle man or the middle woman completely. When a person makes a complaint they have to fill out a form and bring it send it up to us. What would prevent us from interviewing that person ourselves. At least a quorum. We didn't have to have everybody here. Have the person who has been accused of doing something wrong. We want to hear what people have meant. And then we can sit among ourselves and say okay I would like a little more information here. A little more information
Speaker 48: And I'd like to think the best of people but there is a potential that this could be weaponized. You know I don't like
Speaker 52: so and so. They are a problem.
Speaker 48: That's not what it's intended for.
Speaker 49: Lisa? I was just wondering if there could be a difference from right now where I don't feel like complaints are really being addressed from my own personal experience. Complaints weren't addressed by the board so how is it going to be done? Really? No one ever talked to me about this.
Speaker 48: Well this we are trying to settle that now and this will give you the option to come in and sit.
Speaker 53: I thought
Speaker 53: to have happen.
Speaker 49: I requested though to come speak to the board.
Speaker 54: Yeah.
Speaker 55: or I definitely would have asked you
Speaker 49: and I personally would have. Okay.
Speaker 35: Then it won't be as
Speaker 48: What about having that come directly to the board? I like that. People talk about it?
Speaker 12: So we should just take out on
Speaker 56: oh no.
Speaker 52: We've got to worry.
Speaker 48: Worry about somebody from the board themselves.
Speaker 25: We need to move it on.
Speaker 57: The select board should initially
Speaker 48: hear
Speaker 57: get the complaint
Speaker 48: and interview the complainant
Speaker 58: and be accused.
Speaker 57: And then after that
Speaker 48: then if we need more information then we can send something out. Right.
Speaker 57: Even if I went to the state
Speaker 10: I agree.
Speaker 59: I think we're good, Lori.
Speaker 59: and sign it and then it's a meeting?
Speaker 60: which I can't do because you haven't signed it
Speaker 48: that was made? I don't know. Is it clear about the way it's written? They want to have it
Speaker 56: write it
Speaker 59: But I thought you said it's got to be
Speaker 59: for your review.
Speaker 55: Move forward on it.
Speaker 12: we'll work with that.
Speaker 25: I want to put this forward.
Speaker 12: But we are going to do it.
Speaker 61: I will.
Speaker 56: Monday morning.
Speaker 57: This coming Monday?
Speaker 28: Lori, we good for Monday at 10?
Speaker 12: No. Do you give breaks?
Speaker 25: What's your lunch? Hours? No lunch.
Speaker 62: Don't need it.
Speaker 25: Good.
Speaker 63: Huh?
Speaker 12: That's a whole different...
Speaker 48: Should it be us or should it be the planning commission to reach out?
Speaker 52: We appointed them.
Speaker 49: He said that it was done. That it did get done.
Speaker 54: He thought it was going to carry on.
Speaker 25: And find out.
Speaker 64: Who's this now?
Speaker 65: BCRC.
Speaker 66: Jim Sullivan sat here for two years.
Speaker 67: Yes.
Speaker 68: And for the town plan.
Speaker 33: So, you have to do the town plan first?
Speaker 13: No. They want us to do it all at the same time. There's no deadline for the bylaws. There's a deadline for the town plan. Right. The town plan has to be done within the next year.
Speaker 69: They're already done. We want to do them.
Speaker 25: Now they are effective now.
Speaker 70: I had to get a piece of cardboard and put it out there that says town hall.
Speaker 25: So I would like this.
Speaker 25: Right.
Speaker 49: We're good. But no. I mean I've watched those meetings and you're right.
Speaker 49: Yeah. I mean if you got an official letter tomorrow could you tell Peter and we could then continue on?
Speaker 35: Alternates.
Speaker 71: That person if that person voted on that then from that time forward.
Speaker 59: We did not advertise for the position.
Speaker 56: No we did not.
