Stamford Select Board — 2026-04-23 (Special)
Nancy L. BushikaMichael G. DenaultJohn DunnJedidiah Gramlinabsent: Kurt Gamari
A short (~2 min) special meeting with a single agenda item: appointing a Green-up Day coordinator. After a call for objections drew none, a motion to appoint Pam Torg as Green-up Day coordinator was proposed, seconded, and passed; no vote count was stated. The coordinator's stated plans included putting out signs and promoting Green-up Day in the school, the newsletter, and on Facebook, with Green-up Day on May 2 (Vermont Green-up Day). The board then moved to adjourn, noting it had skipped over discussion.

| Coordinate and promote Green-up Day: put out signs, put stuff in the school, on the newsletter, and on Facebook | Pam Torg (Green-up Day coordinator) | May 2, 2026 (Green-up Day) | Her stated plan when volunteering; not a formally assigned task by motion. | open no date in the minutes |
Statuses come from data/action_status.json, which only a person changes; "overdue" means the minutes gave a date and that date has passed. Mark one done with
scripts/action_status.py --done "a phrase".Follow-ups named in the minutes
- Next select board meeting is 'the 7th' (month not stated in the transcript).
- Green-up Day is May 2 (Vermont Green-up Day); Pam Torg said she could only do it on the 2nd, not the 9th.
What the extraction was unsure about
- Transcript is very short (~2 min) and contains only 'Speaker 1', 'Speaker 2', and unattributed paragraphs; identities were not guessed per the automated diarization caveat in the front matter.
- The phrase 'Pam Torg stopped the other day' is likely an ASR error; context indicates she volunteered to be Green-up coordinator.
- The month of the next regular meeting ('the 7th') is not stated.
- No vote counts were stated for either motion; only a single 'Aye' is recorded for the appointment.
- The adjournment motion has no recorded vote in the transcript; the meeting simply ended.

Speaker 1: I would like to ask you a question. Where is she?
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding. Well, wait a minute. We're going to ask the other five people that are wanting to do it. They're not here either. That's true. That's true. Make a motion. Yeah, motion to make Pam green-up day coordinator.
Speaker 1: Second.
Speaker 1: Aye.
Speaker 1: Motion to adjourn. Second. Oh, did you want to talk? Did you want to talk? We skipped over. I think we skipped over.
Speaker 1: There's no point in talking. Okay.
