Selectboard approves consent agenda; designates Lord's Prayer Rock an official Town park

The Selectboard approved its consent agenda, which included several routine but substantive items. Chair Ian Albinson reviewed the packet and the Board approved amended minutes from the Sept. 14 meeting and the evening's check warrants (Albinson reported the total as $248,113.27; Board members noted two additional smaller warrants of $4,447.02 and $5,870.75).

The Board also approved a Special Event and Street Use permit for the N.H. Munsill Hose, Hook and Ladder Company's donation drop on Oct. 11 (rain date Oct. 18), to be held at the usual West Street location. As part of the same consent package the Bristol Conservation Commission's revised management plans for Lord's Prayer Rock and Seth Hill were approved and Lord's Prayer Rock was designated an official Town park. Peeker Heffernan noted one person "had been camping there regularly," and the Board discussed that the person had camped in the area the prior year as well. The consent motion passed unanimously.
