The Hale's Location Selectmen approved August 10, 2026 minutes 3-0 and a $12,918.65 check to Conway for motor vehicle fees. The Board met with North Conway Fire Chief McCarthy to update the obsolete 1997 fire contract due to revaluation that caused a $30,000 budget shortfall. The proposed draft requires preliminary estimates in September, final bills in February, and April payments. This draft was referred to legal counsel before further meetings. The County budget remains open until February to accommodate these adjustments. North Conway provides rescue services separately from Conway's ambulance transport.

Passed 3-0

Fire contract: The select board met with North Conway Fire Chief McCarthy to discuss updating the
fire contract. The original contract was last updated on October 29,1997.
Commissioners and staff emphasized rewriting the agreement because consolidations and
valuation changes have rendered the 1997 document obsolete. Executive Director Seamans
reported that a spring invoice arrived 30 % higher than budgeted after Hales Location's property
revaluation increased assessed value, forcing the Counqt to locate approximately $30,000 within
the Hales operating budget. Proposed draft language would require North Conway Fire to supply a
preliminary estimate in September (after DRA valuations are due September 1) and a final bill in
February while the County budget remains open, with payment due by April. North Conway
provides its own rescue services; a separate ambulance transport contract exists with Conway.
Hales Location receives Commission agendas and maintains regular contact through staff. The
draft was referred to legal counsel for review prior to any further meeting. Chief McCarthy was
thanked for attending in person; copies of recent rate worksheets were to be provided to the
Commissioners.
