The Selectboard postponed approval of August 24 and June 26 minutes due to incomplete board attendance. Regarding the proposed Municipal Infrastructure and Asset Commission, established to oversee long-term asset maintenance like the pool and suspension bridge, the board referred discussion to a future work session for full exploration rather than a vote.
The board also agreed to discuss establishing a Building Code Enforcement Officer at a work session to address local compliance gaps and safety concerns with new construction. Infrastructure updates included the Mansill Bridge/Palmer Brook crossing project, currently in permitting and design phases with an aim to bid in early 2027 for construction later that year. Finally, the Town Manager announced a $40,000 planning grant was received for EMS services with Franconia and Sugar Hill, with a public hearing scheduled for official approval.
