Select Board Meeting: August 10, 2026

The August 10, 2026 Select Board meeting of Milford included several procurement-related discussions primarily focused on the town's information technology (IT) services. The board reviewed and discussed the potential restructuring of the town's IT department, considering a shift from an in-house model to a vendor-supported or hybrid approach. Lonnie Tinio from World Band, the current IT service provider for public safety and other departments, presented the benefits of outsourcing IT services, including cost-effectiveness, 24/7 support, access to specialized skills, and cloud-based solutions. The board acknowledged the long-standing relationship with World Band and the need to modernize IT infrastructure to meet future demands. A motion was made and passed to authorize World Band Incorporated to take over the IT department services for the town of Milford, excluding the school department. Other agenda items included approval of a license amendment for Nystrom Branch and Tap LLC to serve all alcoholic beverages, installation of a "No Turn on Red" traffic sign for safety, and approval of a permit for a Special Olympics 5K road race. The town administrator also announced an upcoming municipal aggregation mailing to eligible account holders. No executive session was held, and the meeting was adjourned by unanimous vote.
