Per Town of Merrimack Charter Section 6-6, at least annually, there should be an annual review with

59 
sharing that they met once last year to discuss a resident’s concerns with traffic on Tinker Road, lack of 
60 
sidewalks, and a proposal for speed humps. Working with Dawn Tuomala, they got the National Regional 
61 
Planning Commission involved to identify if sidewalks were necessary. He also shared that they have seen 
62 
an uptick on requests for stop signs, in which they have a manual on traffic control they have to follow to 
63 
determine if stop signs meet certain criteria, of which none of the requests met the requirements for stop

rebuild. The funding included a $500,000 CDBG, and $1.3 million from DES; 70% of that is a grant, and 
86 
they have a loan of $400,000+. The work was bid at and awarded to Carrillo Construction, and construction

103 
from the Abbie Griffin Memorial Fund in the amount of up to $23,684.00 for the purchase of one (1)

equipment related to virtual reality training to include two (2) complete training set-ups consisting of 
108 
VR manufactured pistols, tasers, headsets, batteries, bags and related tablets for the Police

111 
Chief Levesque was present with Captain Spillane to discuss the police half of the funds from the Abbie 
112 
Griffin Memorial Fund, $11,842, to purchase two virtual reality program trainers by Axon. He shared that 
113 
their tasers are currently under contract with Axon, so they would essentially be bundling this under their 
114 
current contract with them. This training program is subscription based over a span of three years, and he 
115 
plans on adding this into his training budget in the future once the funds run out as he expects this will be of 
116 
interest for many years due to the program customizability. He then shared a brief training video with the 
117 
Council that showcased how the program works.

130 
equipment, as well as three ZOLL X Series Technical Mount Systems, three Technimount Standard Surface 
131 
Bases, and three Laerdal LSU Suction Units with Canisters. The Command Board will help the fire 
132 
department with accountability as it tracks firefighters on scene, locations, and tasks every time. The 
133 
mounting system will secure the new Zoll monitor/defibrillator they purchased last year, and has the ability 
134 
to mount the heavy monitor/defibrillator to the ambulance to keep it from falling and breaking or injuring 
135 
someone. Lastly, the suction units will be used by the medics/EMTs for patients as their current ones have 
136 
broken pieces and need to be replaced. 
137

157 
structure, and surrounding communities also participated. He stressed the importance of these live training 
158 
burn days, highlighting that firefighters must train to keep their skills current, and they would not have been

1. USA 250th Anniversary Committee Update 
208 
Submitted by Parks & Recreation Director Matthew Casparius 
209 
The USA 250th Anniversary Committee to provide the Town Council with an update regarding the 
210 
upcoming planned festivities and events.    
211 
 
212 
Parks & Recreation Director Matthew Casparius was present to discuss the 250th Anniversary Committee 
213 
and their plans for the upcoming festivities, first sharing that committee responsibilities include planning all 
214 
the festivities and events to commemorate the USA’s 250th Anniversary celebration as well as the 25th 
215 
Anniversary of 9/11. Working in collaboration with Merrimack Historical Society, Merrimack School 
216 
District, and Merrimack Public Library, committee members include: Director Matt Casparius, Resident Kim 
217 
Ortiz, Resident Gianne Cruz-Schloyer, Resident Matthew Brown, former Town Councilor Mackenzie 
218 
Murphy, Parks & Rec Committee/School Board member Laurie Rothhaus, Deputy Police Chief Matt 
219 
Tarleton, and Merrimack Fire Department member Chris Wyman. He highlighted some past events held, 
220 
such as the Jail & Bail fundraiser last weekend, which included 25 individuals from town that were playfully 
221 
arrested and were given the task of raising $250 each. The event goal was to raise $6,250, and as of 5/14 they 
222 
have raised $13,589. These funds will be used for increased costs associated with this year’s fireworks 
223 
display at the new location, new free activities being offered at the fireworks display, expenses for additional 
224 
events such as the movie night coming up as part of the 250th celebration, and additional bands participating 
225 
in this year’s parade. Any unused funds will reduce the amount needed from our annual allocation, helping to 
226 
lower the use of tax dollars. Another program he discussed was the Hometown Hero’s Banner Recognition 
227 
Program, which is sponsored by families for a cost of $250 and will be placed on Daniel Webster Highway 
228 
and Baboosic Lake Road annually for 5 years. This is a way for the community to honor past and present 
229 
members of the Armed Forces, First Responders, and their family members, and the deadline to submit is 
230 
June 1st. Next, Mr. Casparius talked about the Merrimack Concert Association’s annual spring concert, 
231 
which is taking place Saturday, May 23rd at 2:00pm at Merrimack High. Tickets are $14 for adults, $12 for 
232 
seniors, and $8 for students. He also mentioned that there will be a free movie screening of Hamilton on 
233 
Friday, June 5th at 7:00pm at Merrimack High School at the Little Theater. Mr. Casparius also noted that the 
234 
July 3rd Concert in the Park will be at Abbie Griffin Park from 6:00pm- 8:00pm, with the speech contest 
235 
winner by Merrimack High School student, and performance by the Merrimack Concert Association. There 
236 
will also be a Sparkler 5k Road Race on Saturday, July 4th at 8:00am at Merrimack High School, organized 
237 
by the Merrimack Road Runners Boosters Club, followed by the Rotary Club Pancake Breakfast from 
238 
8:00am- 11:00am in the Merrimack High School cafeteria. While that is going on, the library has the 
239 
“Liberty & Legacy: Sheryl Faye Presents Historical Women” program at the Merrimack High School Little 
240 
Theater from 10:00am- 10:45am.

Mr. Casparius then shared that with the 4th of July parade, there is a new route this year that will start at 
246 
Merrimack High School and end at Tractor Supply because the parade has gotten so large that it will no 
247 
longer fit the Front St neighborhood. This new route is better for marchers who will now walk downhill. He 
248 
also discussed the new location of the fireworks, which will be at 220 Daniel Webster Highway, and will 
249 
allow for a much better view for all. There will be six shuttle buses running that night from Merrimack 
250 
outlets to and from the fireworks show from 5:00pm – 10:00pm. There are also multiple food trucks and 
251 
vendors lined up for the event, and the fireworks are expected to begin at 9:15pm. He also reviewed the exit 
252 
plan for when the fireworks are over, and how this new location will have a streamlined plan that will dictate 
253 
the exit path for all attendees that will be significantly faster than previous years. Lastly, he shared that he is 
254 
looking for Grand Marshal suggestions for the parade. 
255 
 
256 
2. Review of April 2026 Election Process 
257 
Submitted by Town Moderator Brian McCarthy and Town Clerk/Tax Collector Brenda DuLong 
258 
Town Moderator and Town Clerk would like to update the Town Council on the April Election and 
259 
some changes that will be worked on. 
260 
 
261 
Town Moderator Brian McCarthy and Town Clerk/Tax Collector Brenda DuLong were present to review 
262 
how the April election went, sharing that overall, the flow of both locations was typical for a local election, 
263 
with some timing hiccups relating to the Monday morning set up. The school staff at both locations were 
264 
great and very helpful, and there were a total of 4,064 voters and 64 same day registrations. Mr. McCarthy 
265 
shared that he did receive a call from the Attorney General’s office regarding the walking distance that was 
266 
required for voting, in which he explained to the AG that he heard that complaint from several voters 
267 
throughout the day and they have a plan to address it. They also had a complaint about electioneering being 
268 
too close at the middle school, in which Mr. McCarthy explained their building limits. They also had a 
269 
tabulator that went down at one point, and received feedback on the flow of voters at the middle school. He 
270 
shared that for the impaired mobility and handicapped people, they need to address how they enter the 
271 
building as they were expecting them to enter from the back instead of the front. He stated that they will be 
272 
meeting with DPW to get signage for this so it is clearer for next time. They are also going to shift the check-
273 
in lines to make the flow more obvious so there is less confusion and congestion.  
274 
 
275 
Ms. DuLong then shared that out of the 4,064 voters, 102 were absentee ballots, and all the machines, minus 
276 
one, worked excellently. The one machine that had issues is scheduled for maintenance so it should not 
277 
happen again, but they have a plan put in place for next time just in case a machine goes down in the future. 
278 
She also shared that Hollis is getting rid of their older style voting booths, and she has the opportunity to get 
279 
some of these for parts or to replace machines that are breaking, so she hopes to have these by September. 
280 
She also shared that this will be the last September primary starting in 2028 as it will move to June.

2. Merrimack Time Capsule Initiative 
296 
Submitted by Neil Anketell 
297 
To seek Town Council authorization and multi-departmental collaboration for the fabrication and 
298 
installation of a 250-year commemorative time capsule. 
299 
 
300 
Neil Anketell and Chuck Morrill, representing the Historical Society, were present to discuss their idea of 
301 
installing a 250-year commemorative time capsule, sharing that this would celebrate the rich history of our 
302 
town and unite our community for generations to come. The primary objective of this initiative is to engage 
303 
residents, inviting everyone to contribute items that will reflect culture, values, and aspirations, capturing the 
304 
essence of what it means to live in Merrimack today. Mr. Anketell shared that he has met with the Rotary 
305 
Club and community leaders to ensure this is truly a collaborative effort, and plans to go public with this 
306 
initiative in June to welcome contributions from community members, with item collection taking place in 
307 
July and August. In September and October, they will finalize the contents, culminating in an unforgettable 
308 
public ceremony with speeches and performances to celebrate this momentous occasion together. He plans 
309 
on collaborating with local experts and the Council to select a site for the time capsule that will ensure it is in 
310 
harmony with community parks and historical landmarks that will also have a deep meaning to the town. He 
311 
also reviewed the budgetary aspect, sharing that he has drafted a preliminary budget that includes the durable 
312 
weatherproof container for the capsule, ceremony expenses such as permit fees, excavation, and landscaping, 
313 
as well as community engagement efforts to promote participation. Along with the Rotary Club, Mr. 
314 
Anketell will provide collaborative funding for this project, as well as seek local and town sponsorships to 
315 
support the initiative. Mr. Morrill then shared a newspaper from 50 years ago, highlighting the importance of 
316 
these pieces of history. Mr. Anketell then discussed the contents that would go in the capsule, such as how 
317 
certain paper has to be used for written letters, and he is anticipating the size of the capsule to be 13x12. The 
318 
Council was unanimously supportive about this, agreeing that it’s a great idea for community involvement 
319 
and preserving Merrimack’s history. 
320 
 
321 
MOTION made by Councilor Murphy and seconded by Vice Chair Jobin to proceed with the 250-year 
322 
commemorative time capsule, with location TBD and more specifics to work in conjunction with Mr. 
323 
Anketell and a group of individuals.

Page 8 of 8 
Finance Director Paul Calabria was present to share the third quarter financial report, beginning by stating 
345 
that the electrical kilowatt comparison is pretty close to last year and the year before, with no significant 
346 
uptick. For natural gas therm usage, there is an increase due to it being a long, cold winter. Health insurance 
347 
is at 68% through the first 9 months, with the savings due to open positions. Similarly, NHRS is at 70% due 
348 
to open positions. Overtime comparison shows that Highway bumped up due to the winter months, and 
349 
Police is a little higher than last year, but lower than the years before that. Revenue is all above budget, with 
350 
interest on pooled cash being up, but also down compared to years prior. Building permits and tipping fees 
351 
are up as well. Auto registrations continue to also be up.
