Flagg School relocation furniture funding
The commission discussed furnishing requirements for the department's pending move to Flagg School, expected no later than July 1. Because municipal rules require certified fire-retardant upholstery and the new office layout cannot accommodate certain existing desks, the commission voted to spend up to $5,000 from its revolving donation fund to purchase replacements.
- Offices are relocating to Flagg School, with an expected move date no later than July 1, 2026.
- Existing upholstered chairs cannot be moved because new town spaces require fire-retardant materials.
- The department revolving donation account had an uncommitted balance of $6,029.56.
- Usable furniture that cannot be transferred may be donated to charitable groups such as Fresh Start Furniture Bank.
- The board approved an expenditure cap of $5,000 for desks and compliant seating.
Outcome: Approved spending up to $5,000 from the donation account by unanimous roll-call vote.
