10-19-2026 Select Board Meeting

The Lyman Select Board met on October 19, 2026. The board unanimously approved a Town Cloud website and agenda platform at the corrected amount of $4,980, followed by a unanimous $1,260 allocation from the capital improvement reserve for Twilio services. The platform is intended to improve website accessibility, searchable agendas and minutes, and subscriber communications. The board also unanimously approved a revised design scope for a planned building project, reflecting a shift away from wetlands; the discussed design work was not to exceed $114,000, with landscaping, hardscape, interior design, and fire-suppression design excluded from the current phase. The board discussed potential future funding options for construction, including grants and municipal bonds, but no construction award was made.

Other spending and procurement-related items included unanimous approval of a $36,123.73 payroll warrant. Fire department officials said quotes to replace Engine 83’s brakes were under review, with no selection or approval reported; the department also reported switching maintenance providers to Rebel Truck. Officials said the department had used 43% of its fuel budget in three months and was examining whether funds could be shifted before requesting supplemental funding. The board also discussed investment options for a restricted fund, but took no action on that item.
