The Londonderry Budget Committee met on September 17, 2026. No votes were taken on budget items. The committee received a presentation on Planned Unit Developments (PUDs), specifically the Brook Hollow PUD. A financial report indicated a net positive fiscal impact of $5.5 million, factoring in $7.8 million in revenue against $2.3 million in school costs and $383,000 in government service costs. Concerns were raised regarding uncalculated infrastructure costs, response times, and traffic level failures at intersections affected by development. The committee reviewed an advisory budget committee bylaw and voted to accept it. The committee decided to postpone voting on an onboarding checklist to add suggested links, including the NHMA budget book and past budgets. Upcoming meetings include an October 15 tour of fire stations at 6:30 PM; no meeting will be held on September 24.

SPEAKER_1 explained that the three-person Cemetery Trustees requested via RSA 289 that the Town Council appoint up to two alternates for one-year terms. The trustees now meet quarterly and struggle to achieve a quorum, requiring more flexibility to conduct business. Two ordinances were presented: one updates the RSA to include the cemetery trustees and corrects errors in the boards list, and another adds the trustees' authority composition to the municipal code. SPEAKER_2 accepted a motion to open the public hearing, moved by Ted and seconded by Dan. The vote to open was unanimous (AYE). Following SPEAKER_2's call for public input, no members of the public wished to speak. SPEAKER_2 subsequently moved to close the public hearing.
