Discussion: Leslie Casey was concerned welfare has increased over the previous years and was
concerned what was driving it. Gaynelle Pratt said it was due to residents who had to be housed
in hotels since the shelters were full. David Jakway mentioned the RSA which stipulates the
Town is obligated to assist until the resident gets on their feet. Kevin Wheeler asked how long the
Town is obligated to help. G Pratt said the Town must assist until they no longer need the
assistance. Adam Cullis asked if the Town looked into other options besides hotels. Christopher
Pratt said the homeless shelters are full and have waiting lists. Jakway also said the Town cannot
enter into rental contracts to put the homeless into apartments. Parker Bolduc asked what would
happen if the fund isn’t sufficient to cover the expenses. Jakway said the fund would be short and
the Town would have to go to the DRA to request funds to cover the deficit. Tim Newcombe
asked how do residents qualify for the assistance. C Pratt replied that there is an application
process and qualifications.

2025 BOARD OF SELECTMEN <=
A retrospective of the events that defined Sullivan’s 239th year begins with a
recognition of the remarkable community members who have offered their time and talents
in joining to serve the Town. The functioning of town government is solely dependent on
community members’ willingness to become involved. It is vitally important when an
experienced Town Clerk/Tax Collector like Mary Hull steps down, that others step up to
learn the responsibilities. Jason Taylor and Bonnie Blanchard have done this well, and keep
this important office running smoothly.
Chris Pratt, Town Moderator, stepped down after the March 2025 Town Meeting and
has been working with William Thorndike to help prepare him for this role in 2026 and
beyond. Chris also stepped down as Planning Board Chairman; the position was filled by
Wendy Pelletier.
After serving for many years, Al Merrifield stepped down from the chairmanship of
the Budget Committee in 2025. The position was filled by Brad Smith who chaired this
year’s meetings.
The Planning Board and Budget Committee now have complete rosters of
membership, thanks to the number of residents who have come forward to volunteer. These
two boards provide critical guidance to the Town in creating and maintaining solid
community planning and fiscal strength.
The Town, through its Planning Board, has worked hard to establish clear ordinances
for the benefit of our community’s development, but these are not always followed by
residents. The Selectmen have reluctantly made the decision that pursuing these violations
through legal action is a necessary cost to help in the enforcement of our ordinances. This
past year presented a number of significant challenges to the Town, one being an emotionally
charged issue that brought together many voices with different perspectives. Working with
the Department of Revenue Administration and Avitar Associates, the Selectmen were able
to establish the extent of the problem and assess the impacts accordingly. This process not
only highlighted a community’s vulnerability to those who choose not to follow ordinances,
but reinforced the necessity of working cooperatively with established State and other
resources to pursue resolution.
Sullivan NH 2025 Town Report Page 40
The Board has also been wrestling with the rising costs of meeting the needs of our
community residents in crisis. Although the financial burden to the Town is but a reflection
of a greater state-wide crisis of assistance and lack of housing, the Town has been navigating
these needs with the steady stewardship of Gaynelle Pratt who works with local and State
agencies to help get the assistance needed in a timely manner. We have the gift of living in a
small community which allows the Welfare Officer to recognize when people need help and
to act quickly. A special thanks to the Food Pantry and those who volunteer and donate to it —
this has become a valuable resource for Sullivan’s townspeople as well.
The Selectmen have long known that fees charged by the Town for building permits
are well below those of area towns. To establish a reasonable amount, the Board replaced the
flat $25 building permit fee with a $.25 per square foot fee to bring Sullivan in line with
surrounding communities. This small piece of the Town’s total revenue sources helps address
those additional expenses incurred for legal and welfare purposes.
In 2025, the Town saw a number of policy and infrastructure improvements,
including an updated Master Plan, updated Road Use and IT policies and, thanks to the
generosity of Marsha Cook, our previous Selectman, new roofs on the Fire Station and
Library, new exit and emergency lighting in the Town Hall and much needed construction
and painting on the Town Library and Town Hall (both to be completed in 2026.)
Additionally, the aging Squad 1 vehicle was replaced and two new vehicles for the Highway
Department were purchased. In detail:
Chris Pratt’s stewardship of the Planning Board culminated in the finalization of our
current Master Plan which was adopted this year and will serve to guide the town with a
framework for the next five years.
In early 2025, the Selectmen approved the purchase of the Fire Department’s new
Squad 1, a Dodge 3500. Sullivan Fire and Rescue members worked many volunteer hours to
complete the installation of emergency lights and the utility cap. The vehicle was put in
service this fall.
Our Highway Department struggled this year with the durability and reliability of the
International Terrastar. The Selectmen researched new plow trucks but when faced with the
high cost, purchased two low-mileage, never-seen-salt Stewart & Stevenson M1078 cargo
vehicles. These trucks arrived in Sullivan late in the year and the Selectmen are presently
working with the Highway Department and contracted outfitters to modify them over 2026
and 2027 to become the Town’s new plow/sand trucks.
In aclosing reflection of this past year, the Selectmen desire to extend our sincere
thanks to Dave Jakway who has served as our chair for the past five years. Dave retired on
Sullivan NH 2025 Town Report Page 41
February 10, 2026 after serving the Town for many years, both on the Planning Board and
most recently as the Chairman of the Board of Selectmen. The job of Selectman covers large
ground, encompassing not just the Select Board but the impacts of activities of all of the
Town’s departments, committees and boards. Dave met all of this with energy and a wide
range of knowledge. During his tenure as Selectman, Dave focused on upgrading the
Town’s infrastructure, supporting improvements to roads, Town buildings, equipment
purchases for both the Highway and Fire Departments as well as IT upgrades for the Town
Clerk/Tax Collector and Selectmen’s offices.
Dave’s knowledge of municipal function is wide, and will be missed. We are very
grateful for his hard work, knowledge, skills — and his wry humor. We wish him well.
The Selectmen greatly appreciate the willingness of community members to give of
themselves for the town’s benefit — Sullivan would not function without you!
Paul Bolduc, Chairman
Virginia DeAngelis, Selectman

2026 BUDGET COMMITTEE
The Budget Committee would like to thank Al Merrifield for his many years of service to the Town.
As a Budget Committee member and later as Committee Chair, Al provided a steady hand to the
process of developing and finalizing budget recommendations. His extensive experience and detailed
understanding of Sullivan’s needs were immeasurably valuable in balancing fiscal management with
the costs of enabling our Town to function and thrive. Al set a high bar for those succeeding him
who will attempt to do the same.
The Budget Committee members are: Brad Smith, Chairman; Mike Blanchard, Aimee Fador, Nancy
Frye, Gary Patnode, BJ Wahl.
The Town’s budgeting process is designed to be thorough and transparent. Preliminary budget
requests were initially presented to the Select Board by Department leaders in late fall and early
winter. The Select Board’s recommendations were then passed on to the Budget Committee, which
commenced review and discussion over a series of public meetings starting on January 5, 2026, and
culminated in a Public Hearing on February 2, 2026. Department and School Board representatives
presented their budget requests and responded to Budget Committee questions throughout these

will continue at a similar rate as in prior years. Additional variables include movement of
students into or out of special education status as well as students moving into/out of the
school district.

2025 SULLIVAN PLANNING BOARD
The 2025 Sullivan Planning Board members were Wendy Pelletier (chair), Timothy Newcombe
(secretary), Laura Lewandowski, and Adam Cullis. Alternate members were Trish Yaroz and Laurie
Goldsmith. The Sullivan Board of Selectmen's representatives were Paul Bolduc and Virginia
DeAngelis.
Wendy Pelletier resigned from the Planning Board in December 2025 after moving out of Sullivan.
The 2026 Planning Board members are Tim Newcombe (Chair), Dan Corindia (Secretary), Adam
Cullis, Laurie Goldsmith, and Laura Lewandowski. Alternate members are Trish Yarosz and Doug
Bullock. There are currently no vacancies.
In 2025, the Sullivan Planning Board finalized the new Master Plan after incorporating public input
from a series of public hearings. The new Master Plan is the culmination of a multi-year effort led by
Leslie Casey (former chair) and Chris Pratt (former chair).
The board approved two driveway permit applications after consultation with the road agent and
conservation commission.
The board reviewed and approved a small lot subdivision at 162 Gilsum Road, a boundary line
adjustment at 918 Centre St, and a voluntary lot merger on Bowlder Rd.
In 2025, G2Holdings LLC withdrew their application to expand gravel pit operations into Sullivan.
Although G2 Holdings LLC is no longer seeking to expand into Sullivan, they are still required to
submit a reclamation plan for the affected land. The Planning Board expects to receive this plan in
2026.
In the coming year, the Planning Board will revise sections of the Community Planning Ordinance
(CPO) to comply with new state laws. Two notable examples requiring immediate attention are
House Bills 577 and 281. House Bill 577 allows attached or detached Accessory Dwelling Units
(ADUs) to be built in all zoning districts that permit single-family dwellings, regardless of lot size.
House Bill 281 requires towns to allow building along Class 6 roads. Sullivan's current CPO is more
restrictive than the new state laws and requires revisions to meet legal requirements. The Sullivan
Planning Board will draft warrant articles to update the affected ordinances and hold public hearings
to review the proposed changes and seek public input.

2025 SULLIVAN FIRE & RESCUE and FORESTRY
Serving our community with Pride, Courage & Compassion
2025 was yet again another typical year for Sullivan Fire & Rescue (SFR). We responded to 85
emergency and service calls, down from the 90 calls in 2024. In addition to the calls, the membership
participated with in-house training, joint EMS training with other towns, Fire Fighter 1 classes,
monthly truck and equipment inspections and building maintenance.
Our Mission Statement; “To provide the best service possible to the Town of Sullivan through
continuous improvement in training, certifications and equipment”.
The Fire Department officers for 2025:
Neil “Al” Henry — Fire Chief-Forest Fire Warden
Mike Blanchard — Deputy Fire Chief-Deputy Forest Fire Warden
Robert “JR” Guyette Jr. - Captain
Sionne Bolduc — Secretary
Emilee Boucher — Treasurer (Fire Company)
As permitted by the department’s by-laws, I have appointed the following Lieutenant positions:
Eric “Kaz” Kazlouskas — Training Officer and Paul Bolduc — EMS Coordinator
- MEMBERSHIP —
Our membership remains low and like many small-town fire departments, SFR is understaffed. We
are always in need of volunteers to fill various positions. As well as those interested in becoming
Firefighters or EMS providers, we have a need for drivers & pump operators (engineers), traffic
control and other logistic personnel. If you are interested in joining or simply are curious about your
fire department, we invite you to stop by on Wednesday nights for a visit to get to know those who
have volunteered to serve our community.
- 2025 CALLS —
SFR responded to a total of 85 calls for EMS, Fire & Rescue, Mutual Aid as well as nonemergency
service calls. As in past years, the department responded to a wide range of emergencies from service
calls & automatic fire alarms to serious EMS and Fire calls. Here is this year’s breakdown:
EMS — Medical Calls = 52
EMS Medical Calls have again accounted for more than half of our call volume. These calls ranged
Jrom minor service calls such as assisting a resident in their home to severe cardiac arrest calls.
Fire and Rescue Calls = 10
We responded to 6 Mutual Aid Structure Fires, 3 carbon monoxide alarms, 1 automatic fire alarm,
Sullivan NH 2025 Town Report Page 48
Forestry = 16
These calls were for 8 Trees On Wires, 5 Illegal Burn and 3 Brush Fires
Fire/Rescue = 4
These were for 3 Motor Vehicle Accidents and 1 Haz-Mat Event
Service Calls =3
These calls were for things like flooding, trees in the road and other investigations.
Service calls not dispatched in addition to the above — There were Home Fire Inspections, Furnace &
Wood Stove Inspections required by an insurance company, Trees in Road and Various Complaints.
These service calls were not dispatched by Fire Mutual Aid but rather received directly from our
residents for non-emergency reasons.
- TRAINING —
All members participated in our required annual Blood Borne Pathogen and SCBA training. Our CPR
and AED recertification was also completed. Members also participated in regional training, in-house
training and drills, and our annual Forestry Training. Although we are volunteers our training and
certifications are no different than a full time or those “professional” departments. We all must attain
the same level of competency in both our Fire and EMS certifications. The only two differences
between us as volunteers and the full-time departments are compensation and the level of service the
departments can provide. For example, one service includes EMS personnel trained to the Paramedic
level. Paramedics have attained the highest level of EMS training but must be affiliated with a
transporting ambulance service which we do not run. This is one of the reasons we have signed a
contract with the City of Keene for ambulance and Paramedic service.
- NEW EQUIPMENT -
In 2025 our annual NFPA flow testing of our MSA Breathing Apparatus as well as our high-pressure
(HP) cascade compressor air quality testing was completed. Our HP compressor, rescue tools and all
our “small engine” tools, pumps & generators also received annual maintenance.
After our annual state inspections in 2024, we were told that our EMS Squad vehicle would not pass
inspection in 2025 due to a rusted-out frame. So in 2025, Deputy Chief Mike Blanchard spearheaded
the project to replace the old Squad. Thanks to Mike and many of our members, we replaced the old
rig with a 2024 Ram 3500 pickup and custom cap with a full suspension pull-out tray in the bed.
Except for some paint and lettering, the Crew did the entire job in house. A big thank you to all
involved!
- THE FIRE COMPANY -
The Sullivan Fire Company is a non-profit organization of department members and open to all
residents and students who have an interest in supporting the Sullivan Fire & Rescue Department.
Proceeds from fund-raising activities go to support the department with non-essential items not
Sullivan NH 2025 Town Report Page 49
included in the department budget such as uniforms and clothing. At times, the company also donates
funds to help offset the cost of equipment. In December 2025 & January 2026 the Fire Company
donated $6,151.00 to the town in the form of thermal imaging and accountability units called LUNA
from MSA. These units work in conjunction with our MSA G1 air packs. They enable firefighters to
see thermal images through smoke providing advanced search capabilities. Also, when linked with
Bluetooth in our G1 packs, they provide the location of other users and the conditions of the pack
such as air remaining.
Again in 2025 we also held our fifth annual open house and BBQ. The Fire Company would like to
take a moment to thank those individuals, organizations and businesses for your support throughout
the year.
In closing I would like to express my gratitude to you, our residents, for your continuing support of
the Sullivan Fire & Rescue Department and to the membership and their families for their continued
dedication and support.

2025 SULLIVAN OFFICE OF EMERGENCY
MANAGEMENT
As in previous years, 2025 was a quiet year with nothing much to report. There were only two
occasions when the Emergency Operations Center was partially staffed during power outages.
After 30+ years, I have decided it was time to pass the torch and retire as your EMD. Moving
forward the Town and State have appointed and confirmed Eric “Kaz” Kazlouskas as Sullivan’s new
Emergency Management Director. Through extensive training, Kaz is more than qualified to assume
the position. In his full-time job for 25+ years, he has served the town in another way as a dispatcher
for Southwest NH Fire Mutual Aid. Kaz is also our fire department Training Officer. I will continue
as the Deputy EMD to assist where possible.

2025 HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT REPORT
January-February
2025 will be remembered for the absent mud season, a severe summer drought, the discontinuation of
the wood boiler as a heat source, and for the Stewart and Stevenson’s. January began as February
would end. Mixed weather events bookmarked the two months, depositing slush on the roadways
and making a mess of the Town. The days between were populated with numerous snow storms,
none with more than eight inches of accumulation, and cold temperatures. For the first time in years,
the gravel roads remained frozen. The task of plowing roads was a pleasure during this time. The
frequency of weather events has increased in the recent years. In 2018, the Highway Department
planned material and hours for nineteen events. In 2025, we increased planning for twenty-three.
March-April
Weight restriction signs were posted on March 6". The roads showed signs of softening and the
dread of mud season was present. The deep winter frost was expected to worsen the usually
unpleasant experience of the season. Fortunately, a long, extremely slow thaw occurred. Cloudy
days, rain showers and mild temperatures drew the frost from the ground at a tortoise pace. While we
have had mild mud seasons in recent years, this was the first that the Highway Department did not
use any stone to mitigate mud. Robins were first seen at the garage on March 17".
The final plow of the season was on April 15". Five inches of snow fell on soft roads. Weight
restriction signs were taken down on April 30".
May-June
On May 12", Davis Oil & Propane installed new 150k BTU heater in the Highway garage for $7,140.
The heater is large enough to heat the Highway Garage. It replaces the outdoor wood boiler installed
in 2012. Due to the percentage of time the Department devoted to processing wood for heat and the
poor condition of the unit, the Select Board decided to discontinue its use and the wood boiler was
removed from the Highway facility on May 13". Spring grading on gravel roads was completed
during the first week of June.
July-August
A wet spring was followed by an extremely dry summer. Gardens wilted and wells dried. While
most lamented the drought, the conditions were exceptional for changing culverts. The Highway
Department replaced several in the summer months. On July 15", the forty-eight inch culvert on
Sullivan NH 2025 Town Report Page 52
Price Road was replaced. This stream crossing had always been considered challenging due to the
high-volume water flowing year-round. This year the water was still.
On July 7", All States Materials Group paved the wearing course on Valley Road. It included 632.06
tons of asphalt at a price of $94.60 per ton for a total price of $59,792.88.
September-October
In September, the Select Board addressed the continuing issue of reliable plow trucks. Concern over
newer, more complex, and far more expensive options, led the Board, with the approval of the
Trustees of the Trust Funds, to purchase two used military Stewart & Stevenson LMTV M1078
trucks. The trucks lack the sophisticated electrical and emission systems that often haunt new
equipment. The Stewart & Stevenson trucks are simply engineered with heavy-duty components and
readily available parts. The process of installing the winter operations builds will continue through
2026.
November-December
The first snow flurries of the season fell on November 6", while BC Construction hammered the
ledge on South Road at the Keene line. The ledge was removed to increase visibility on the difficult
section of road and to allay concerns of many travelers. As December arrived, temperatures
plummeted and were far below normal. The plows were used for first time this season for a seven-
inch snow storm on December 2", The roads were frozen and the conditions for winter operations
were perfect.
On December 29", six years to the day of the December 29", 2019 ice storm, rain fell onto frozen
surfaces and turned all twenty-two miles of Sullivan roads into a sheet of ice. The rain continued
until late afternoon. The Highway trucks slid around town trying to avoid calamity while applying
sand and salt to the roads. The roads remained barely passable until the rain relented. Ice is the bane
of all highway departments and we were glad to see the storm end.
2025 was a good and productive year for the Town of Sullivan, Highway Department. The
Department benefits from the support, efforts and kindness of so many. We are grateful to you all.

2025 CEMETERY TRUSTEES REPORT
The Town of Sullivan maintains three cemeteries: The East Sullivan Cemetery, Sullivan Center
Cemetery and The Four Corners Cemetery. They are all located on Centre Street. The Cemetery
Trustees oversee the cemeteries and the Town Monument. Maintenance of the grounds and stones,
the sale of cemetery plots and point of contact for burials are the responsibilities of the Cemetery
Trustees.
The inventory of Veteran and Fire Department burials was completed in 2025. Flags and markers
were placed on graves prior to Memorial Day.
The Four Corners Cemetery is the oldest cemetery with many stones from the 1700s. Some stones are
broken and all would benefit from cleaning. In the fall, The Trustees were shown effective stone
cleaning techniques. Several trees in this cemetery were identified as posing a risk to nearby stones.
Those posing the most risk have been either removed or trimmed.
In anticipation of 250" celebrations, we will begin stone cleaning in the spring. If you would like to
help, please contact the Cemetery Trustees.

them into your hands to read, listen to, or watch. We also offer curbside services to anyone who
would like to utilize it.
Your librarians are diligently working to upload each item into Library World, so that you, the user,
may access our catalog online. We still appreciate your patience, as this is a huge undertaking.
The Second Saturday Book Group meets on the second Saturday of the month at 11 AM to discuss
the book chosen for that month. The preferred genre is suspense/mystery. It is open to anyone who
wishes to join.
Our Summer Reading Program was Level Up At Your Library, and we had three children sign up to
participate. The sub-theme was the Reading Dragons where the children could earn dragon trading
cards.
We have had 16 new Library users this year, 219 individuals using the Libby app, a total of 1250
items circulated to our patrons, 660 items were borrowed by other libraries through the ILL system,
and 268 requests to let our town borrow books were filled for us by other libraries. The Library has
purchased 48 new books, and through the generous donations of our patrons this year, we have added
a grand total of 354 new books, audio CDs, and DVDs to the collection.
We look forward to continuing to meet the needs of our fellow Sullivan residents during the coming
year and the continued growth of the Sullivan Public Library in our efforts to support the community.
Come see us for any of your reading, viewing, listening, or researching needs. We can help and we

2026 Sullivan Annual Report
The Cheshire County Sheriff's Office provides the Town of Sullivan, New Hampshire, with contracted
police services, This commitment has fostered a strong working relationship between the town and
the Sheriff's Office, as well as a positive relationship with the community over the years.
In 2025, as we usually do, we saw decreases and increases that can be attributed to multiple factors,
such as staff shortages:
*500 Calls for Service, a decrease of -27% (2024 = 687)
131 Motor Vehicle Stops, a decrease of -27% (2024 = 150)
7 Accidents, a decrease of -30% (2024 = 10)
11 Investigations, an increase of 450% (2024 = 2)
1 Arrests, a decrease of -80% (2024 = 5)
383.25 work hours, a decrease of -18% (2024 = 466)
‘The above statistis include calls transferred to the New Hampshire State Police and paper sence by the Sheriff's Otfice
Due to our staffing shortage, a nationwide issue in iaw enforcement, our deputies had to make some
adjustments to manage their time and continue supporting the town. While our hours are lower than
last year, our deputies have remained committed to handling calls promptly and to proactively
maintaining our presence in the town.
Our goal continues to be to provide contract police services that are fiscally responsible, within budget,
and thoughtful to the town's needs.
(ook forward to continuing our service to the Town of Sullivan in 2026.

2025 TRUSTEES OF TRUST FUNDS
Trustees review all receipts into and distributions from the town trusts and capital reserve funds, to
assure they conform with the established purpose of each fund.
The Trustees also oversee the relationship with Three Bearings Fiduciary Advisors, a registered
Investment Advisor who provides investment and administrative services to the funds. Assets of the
Town’s capital reserve funds and trusts are held in custody at Fidelity Investments.
On a monthly basis, Three Bearings Fiduciary Advisors provides the Trustees investment and
transaction reports on all trust and capital reserve funds. These reports are made available to the
Selectmen and, upon request, are available to the public.
On an annual basis, the Trustees meet with Three Bearings Fiduciary Advisors to formally review the
investment performance of the funds, and the investment policies in place for the funds.
Respectfully Submitted by Trustees of Trust Funds,
John Woodbury, Chairman
Henry Brooks, Jr., Trustee
Jen Brooks, Trustee

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
‘To the Members of the Board of Selectmen
‘Town of Sullivan
Sullivan, New Hampshire
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information
of the Town of Sullivan as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements, which
collectively comprise the Town of Sullivan’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of
the governmental activities, major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Town of Sullivan as of
December 31, 2024, the respective changes in financial position, and the respective budgetary comparison for the major general
fund for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our
responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial
Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Town of Sullivan and to meet our other ethical
responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we
have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
.
Emphasis of Matters - Changes in Accounting Principles
‘As discussed in Note 2-C to the financial statements, in the year ending December 31, 2024, the Town adopted new accounting
guidance, GASB Statement No. 100, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections — an Amendment to GASB Statement No, 62.
Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Also, as discussed in Note 2-C to the financial statements, in the year ending December 31, 2024, the Town adopted new accounting
guidance, GASB Statement No. 101, Compensated Absences. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
The Town of Sullivan's management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and
maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing ‘the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the
aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Town of Sullivan's ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months
beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a
high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with
Sullivan NH 2025 Town Report Page 76
Town of Sullivan
Independent Auditor's Report
GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from
fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations,
or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or
in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:
+ Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
* Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design
and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence
regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
* Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate
in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Town of Sullivan’s
internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
+ Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made
by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
* Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial
doubt about the Town of Sullivan’s ability to continue as a going concer for a reasonable period of time.
We ate required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing
of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.
Required Supplementary Information
Management has omitted the Management’s Discussion and Analysis that accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America require to be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such missing information, although not a
part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an
essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical
context. Our opinions on the basic financial statements are not affected by this missing information.
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the Town of
Sullivan’s basic financial statements. The combining and individual fund schedules are presented for purposes of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.
The combining and individual fund schedules are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to
the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected
to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including
comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic
financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the combining and individual fund schedules are
fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
