SOUTHWICK — Select Board unanimously approves elderly rate application and hears Channel 15 update. Director Ken Stomski presented programming updates including live meeting broadcasts and social media expansion, while Clerk Russ Anderson raised concerns that Southwick content sometimes takes secondary priority. The Board acknowledged two December winter storm reports totaling $78,437.38 in costs.
Chief Administrative Officer Nicole Parker outlined a revised budget-hearing process that consolidates departmental reviews and eliminates two Saturday sessions, which Board members Diane Gale and Russ Anderson supported based on prior experience with presenter intimidation.
