Beginning with a mid-year check-in on the budget, Mary Collins submitted copies comparing the first
two quarters ’ budgets with actuals for both the General Fund and the Highway Fund. E mergency
services are over-budget, likely due to increased call volume, increases in fuel prices, and repairs.
Ensuing discussion considered whether a full crew is required to respond to every call. Chuck Schulze
reviewed how communication works to assess the need at a scene. All agreed to consult further with
the Fire Chiefs and to check the standard operating procedures outlined in the e mergency se rvices
bylaws, in case efficiency might be improved.
As a member of the Fire Department Steering Committee, Marvin Harrison attested that the fire
department is conscientious in ordering repairs only when definitely needed. The future status of the
West Newbury fire station has yet to be resolved.

NEWBURY FIRE DEPARTMENT STEERING COMMITTEE
Minutes from March 31, 2026 meeting
Present: John Renfrew, Jeff Morin , Dan Martin, Wally Fischer, Charlie Ma bey, Susan Culp, Andrew Lee, Chuck
Schulze , Marvin Harrison
Meeting called to order at 5:0 8 p.m.
Review of the minutes of the last meeting was tabled, as they weren ’t readily available.
Discussion of the status of West Newbury began with mention of last fall ’s meeting out there with a few
community members. Since then, two W. Newbury residents have joined the fire department and are in
training . ‘Reachouts ’ continue and all are encouraged to talk to folks to see if others may come forward,
recognizing that it ’s a real commitment – time, energy and physicality. Anyone interested in learning more
should contact the Newbury Chief, John Renfrew.
John and Wally have been doing some building/site maintenance as well as some long overdue apparatus
maintenance. The tanker is reportedly in good condition and ready to respond, if needed. The hope is to have
the trainees prepared to respond to fires with the tanker later this year. The W. Newbury engine is still a
viable unit, as well, but needs some more work to get it ready to respond.
The building itself remains a challenge , as it is not well-constructed nor large enough (including undersized
overhead doors) for the apparatus to enter and exit smoothly. Charlie has inspected the building and will
prepare a list of needs and estimated costs to the Selectboard. The SB

Minutes
The Newbury Planning Committee met on Thursday, February 19, 206 at the Town Office beginning at
6:00 pm. Attending were Planning Commission members Tony O ’Meara, Jason Winchester, Dustin
Putnam, Evangeline James, Andrew Lee, Renee Weeks, and Larry Scott (Chair), Zoning Administrator
Dennis Marquise, and resident Andrew Haggan.
The Board approved the agenda, as well as the minutes of the meeting held on January 15, 2026.
Regional Land Use Map
Tony O ’Meara reported that the new map is now “ frozen ” on the Two Rivers Ottauquechee Regional
Planning Commission (TRORC) website, but Newbury ’s input has been taken. He has just received the
narrative to accompany the map and will forward a condensed and annotated version of that to the
Board.
Mr. O ’Meara also offered comments on an article concerning Act 181 previously forwarded by Dustin
Putnam. He stated that Act 181 is a trade-off, imposing more restrictions in conservation districts and
fewer in village centers. Newbury seems to be relatively unaffected, although new regulations on
driveways longer than 800 feet are significant. Several legislative bills to amend or repeal are expected.
Tier 1B & recommendation re: opting i n
Dennis Marquise stated that Tier 1B nuances are still unclear. He recommended that the Town opt in,
noting that for most small operators, Act 250 poses an automatic deterrence. Even with Tier 1B,

Minutes
The Newbury Planning Commission met on Thursday, January 15, 2026 at the Town Office beginning
at 6:00 pm. Attending were Planning Commission members Andrew Lee, Dustin Putnam, Jason
Winchester, Renee Weeks, Evangeline James, Tony O ’Meara, and Larry Scott (Chair), Zoning
Administrator Dennis Marquise, and Wells River Trustee Michael Thomas.
The Board added one item to the agenda: discussion of the option to adopt the new Tier 1B
designation. The Board approved minutes of the meeting held on November 20, 2025.
Evangeline James reported on additional follow-up regarding new flood hazard maps . Based on this
information, the Board agreed to leave in place the $500 interior repair cost threshold for triggering a
permit . The Board discussed whether the new maps could be adopted with minor changes. FEMA
maps must be adopted in order to qualify for the national flood insurance program. River corridor
maps, which are developed by the State for protecting watersheds, may be changed but only through
a process which may be cumbersome. According to Ned Swanberg (VT Flood Hazard Mapping
Coordinator), roll-out of new maps is expected in the fall of 2026.
Tony O ’Meara passed along an offer by Kyle Katz of Two Rivers Ottauquechee Regional Commission
(TRORC) to assist in assessing the maps. Andrew Lee, who attended a recent meeting on FEMA
mapping, stated that the information was of general interest but no
