Staff Photo/ZACK DeLUCA Published: 7/21/2021 3:35:27 PM LEYDEN — The Selectboard is planning to hold future discussions examining town practices for responding to animal control calls after receiving a resident’s complaint following an incident with a potentially rabid porcupine back in April. While some discussion occurred on Monday, the Selectboard ultimately decided to table the subject to a later date when all members — including Selectboard member Erica Jensen, who was recently appointed as the board’s police liaison and who was absent Monday — can be present. However, Chair Jeff Neipp said he may be unavailable in August, so it is unclear how soon the board will revisit the discussion.
