Board members said some employees — including elected officials or positions under separate oversight — should be exempt from the standard review process, and they discussed who would conduct evaluations for various positions. The board and staff proposed a stronger self-assessment component and recommended scheduling reviews at a time that works for employees and reviewers. \"A performance evaluation feels it's a trigger and it feels more punitive before even a word has been spoken. So I think of it as a check-in,\" one board member said.

The board also discussed records handling and confidentiality. Members proposed that completed evaluation files be locked in the town administrator’s office and that department heads (for police and fire, for example) maintain their own records per department practice.

Ending: The board assigned two members to continue refining the template with input from department heads and return an updated draft for a fuller discussion before formal implementation.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Greenland NH, Board of Selectmen 04/21/2025","oneSentenceSummary","Select board members reviewed a proposed performance-evaluation template April 20, discussed exemptions for elected positions and department differences, and asked staff to continue revising the form to emphasize check-ins rather than punitive reviews.","taxTitle","Greenland Board of Selectmen, Greenland, Rockingham County, New Hampshire","taxId",72461,"location","New Hampshire","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6244659,"Select board tables draft mobile food vendor ordinance, will send to legal",202,1458000,1660000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3229117-b76ff15f008f6b2d1f23d1fa615c0a2f&start=1458&end=1660","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3229117-b76ff15f008f6b2d1f23d1fa615c0a2f/thumbnail_1458000.jpg","/articles/6244659/New-Hampshire/Select-board-tables-draft-mobile-food-vendor-ordinance-will-send-to-legal","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6244659-85b4cb039a05a95d35cd50769efcf2aa/orig.mp4?Expires=1771071151&Signature=MEArIsL9r3-cM2K-Sm3K31FXAUQh8PJqfqO~oJDKdKlBwD8E~heCBZCDCEmWmARRDhifJl41YxVhPTP62t2squm2TCirjvZ-8rkkambJduGXC1jraO2fkrvIIDaXnjbfHhptXvYwaz8Sqcp~Cv9Ba84d2I1vMYcxdFZuBW4ZyZzVStip58WBndcJHOFTvtHOJUJtPbI4wXaKHw1BrAdvW-xw7D2dUOA5ikyAA75ZmrtiQ08RVPMfB8ZH5-dAzHEGl3Q2NLiverwpEUkhoLwM-mT2PfNB8FX22sQa3iVO71Oafoh4hnUxu4C6zqcR-ut~siDDxOYj9xOxbh7Dk2hUng__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Greenland Board of Selectmen discussed a draft mobile food vendor ordinance April 20 and agreed to pause further action while staff and counsel refine the proposal and confirm appropriate statutory authority.

Board members and staff said vendors had already spoken to the planning board, police and fire departments and had the technical approvals those departments required for health, safety and traffic. The draft before the select board included permitting and licensing language, but officials raised questions about what items the select board could implement administratively and which required a public hearing or other statutory steps. \"I would recommend tabling this for now,\" a board member said, and the board agreed to do additional research and send the draft to the town attorney for review.

Meeting participants noted that one vendor will operate on a limited schedule this season under existing permissions and that another vendor is expected to appear before the planning board at a later meeting; the board said it would not block vendors already approved for limited dates while the ordinance is refined.

Ending: Staff will clean up the draft, check relevant RSAs and return an updated draft to the board after legal review and any required public-hearing steps are identified.","The board reviewed a draft mobile food vendor (food truck) ordinance and permitting form, decided the select board may not have authority to enact all provisions and agreed to redraft and send the proposal to town counsel and relevant departments for review before returning to the board.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6244663,"Select board hears updates on hangar construction, Rye Harbor study and town noise ordinance",304,517000,821000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3229117-b76ff15f008f6b2d1f23d1fa615c0a2f&start=517&end=821","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3229117-b76ff15f008f6b2d1f23d1fa615c0a2f/thumbnail_517000.jpg","/articles/6244663/New-Hampshire/Select-board-hears-updates-on-hangar-construction-Rye-Harbor-study-and-town-noise-ordinance","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6244663-0008c8a5342352e1f1bf6bec49669574/orig.mp4?Expires=1771071151&Signature=YpEmu2lrZXPSN62ugyjtbaBwbFGl~hI0Xdsu8INP6k2kJ04SmVzakL7rlXHYy7Z2q5v0reqYmZqS223SZWtFx9kU8CNbkFGWuzKr4HsioxQZMZV3fkFS5EN8V5ONvEgA1GMCPuBsZwqmbWYaf1XU31q6y-F1Npk6wMbDXUrs~SkCyRZjnmBkkJ8WgBa3Q5V8LbbS-N7PKaMXP12SYv5lkhsk6wxIEQMiZ-28zO4kJAYkqYhoLL4DfMO8jjgLpwxSAgR99Nv6~40mj7Idk5~9PJDVUu2LgfqP46uqJdz0iVP3LXD4KAuITGu9L~~87QXBEtusK4xuS88tx~QqAr-DRQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Greenland Board of Selectmen received several related updates April 20 about maritime and aviation activity near the town, including a new corporate hangar at the local airfield, a regional Rye Harbor study and a resident complaint about military flight noise.

Board members heard that a developer — identified in the packet as Thermo Fisher (Thermo Fisher Scientific) — obtained approval for a new hangar that will sit on a rare apron-side parcel and will accommodate two corporate aircraft after a 35,000-square-foot lot was subdivided into two parcels. \"It's fabulous if a private entity has a hangar that opens up right onto this apron,\" a board member said in a report on the prior planning discussions.

The board also received an update on the Rye Harbor study, described as a PDA-run planning process (the packet named the port authority and a planning consultant). The first public meeting was April 17 and a second meeting was scheduled for April 23 at 9:30 a.m. at the PDA’s large conference room, with a Zoom option. Board members expressed concern about the flow and availability of federal funds for ports work; staff noted the PDA has $750,000 in federal funds referenced in the packet and that those funds come through various Department of Transportation authorizations.

A resident had called with a complaint about a KC‑46 tanker and runway use; a board member clarified that the town’s noise ordinance includes time and decibel limits between approximately 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. but that military flights are excluded from the town noise ordinance. \"Just for the record, military flights are excluded from noise ordinance,\" the select board recorded.

Ending: Board members said they would continue monitoring port planning and airfield development and pass any resident noise complaints to the appropriate enforcement official or agency.","Board members were briefed on a proposed corporate hangar at the local airfield for Thermo Fisher Scientific, a regional Rye Harbor study and a resident noise complaint about a KC‑46 tanker; the board confirmed municipal noise rules and noted military flights are excluded from the ordinance.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6244668,"Select board hears progress report on audits, QuickBooks-to-MRI conversion",196,944000,1140000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3229117-b76ff15f008f6b2d1f23d1fa615c0a2f&start=944&end=1140","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3229117-b76ff15f008f6b2d1f23d1fa615c0a2f/thumbnail_944000.jpg","/articles/6244668/New-Hampshire/Select-board-hears-progress-report-on-audits-QuickBooks-to-MRI-conversion","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6244668-e2a1007fe94bd190acaa1fea826b85b6/orig.mp4?Expires=1771071151&Signature=elL1xqDoMH2q~KfVsI4MrHm46miWCv-XR2yp1Uh~NQtUtVXElUQ3BanzVK0Ih12hp6uqdtz7uBlUXnMddPhEgSfXtG7O0JrFQWexvXfYTw6~~jDydbgvKx-5HcevIHcVopjMssUlcb7aLvgO31mqPtf3I8HbXGNkIzvAtu21z9cVqUnBb2BXq4-2gMdl5rUJ3ikhKDzPFOSBcrnPho2w9Z40f9RewFDiD17C9Rm1nIz9-rJZCCNfc8TaAg4Q3LJKqHhQ6fDia8xdFnUEwlZlPKqwsXdcVyx23ikJuUL9LpIg41wjfRiz-uoXYfuC-F5WVaVzMoVVZCuYGKa~ab-IFA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Greenland officials briefed the select board April 20 on the town’s audit status and a multi-year effort to migrate municipal accounting from QuickBooks to the MRI finance system.

The board was told the 2023 audit work has been completed, though the final signed documents were not yet in hand. Staff said the 2024 audit walkthrough is scheduled for the week of May 12, with the physical fieldwork likely later in June or July. \"The 2023 audit is complete — I just don't have the final signature yet,\" a town official reported.

Town staff described progress on transferring fiscal year 2023 and 2024 records into MRI and said QuickBooks files for 2023–24 were forwarded for conversion. Staff and budget committee members are coordinating to confirm the chart of accounts and to resolve outstanding reconciliation items tied to prior staffing changes. Officials also stressed that some audit findings and recommendations will be issued in a standard audit findings letter and that those recommendations are expected to guide policy changes.

The board discussed how incomplete audit documentation can limit borrowing and bond options, and members asked staff to continue tracking outstanding items. A select board member noted that work to reconcile a former employee’s accounts was complete and that piece of the 2024 audit was already recorded.

Ending: Town staff said they would continue to update the board as MRI conversion and the 2024 audit proceed; no formal board vote was taken on the audit update.","Town staff told the select board the 2023 audit is complete pending signature, the 2024 audit walkthrough is expected the week of May 12 and work continues on converting QuickBooks to the MRI system used by the town.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6244673,"Greenland select board approves small grants, minutes and road closure; accepts cemetery sexton resignation",1310,857000,2167000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3229117-b76ff15f008f6b2d1f23d1fa615c0a2f&start=857&end=2167","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3229117-b76ff15f008f6b2d1f23d1fa615c0a2f/thumbnail_857000.jpg","/articles/6244673/New-Hampshire/Greenland-select-board-approves-small-grants-minutes-and-road-closure-accepts-cemetery-sexton-resignation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6244673-44c753fd061c6fcda141ac145e53740d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771071151&Signature=nd-Pde2NKFl3k8birHSogAMlw101wrI3h6cHL7LwecQRlZf9zMpCvOh~Qr0r5oIPUcjFnkEray4Uu1Es6UjuYNx6nYRkeuyYmWxI6bw8weKtp39dwlII9GMw6ynSJtQOlkO3QQVNSWWuuhIiDO87iiH3u7PqYX6iEjkoWTo~Lrki-CoemdK-FImYDxeNuVIoC1kQQ~RCbtENrmPn-TjhOWw8zfk53yVOhdjCREWEOoxQzIuUA90SdR2A2DyKSQY64Yji5YIzexVBQv4ItYOUR-j4sdgmuzN71vYVhSaNAlADA-ZXNajs~9yilns5A5HONdnous77hDc89dlapDpReA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Greenland Board of Selectmen approved a set of routine administrative items April 20, including accepting a small highway safety grant, approving minutes, accepting a cemetery sexton resignation and authorizing a brief road closure for a May 3 marker unveiling.

The board voted unanimously to accept and expend a New Hampshire Department of Safety DUI enforcement grant for $621.62 for the police department. “I move to accept and expend the police department fiscal year 2025 highway safety grant in the amount of $621.62,” a board member moved; another board member seconded, and the motion passed with aye votes.

The board also voted to approve the minutes from the April 7, 2025 meeting and accepted the resignation of Paul Hayden as cemetery sexton, effective April 15, 2025. The cemetery trustees’ packet included a letter from Hayden and a recommendation from the trustees that Matt Sargent serve as the new sexton; the trustees’ recommendation was included in the meeting packet but the transcript records only the board’s vote to accept Hayden’s resignation.

For an upcoming commemoration, the board approved closing Church Lane from about 10:30 a.m. to about 1 p.m. May 3 for an unveiling of a historical marker; the board said the exact end time would depend on traffic and weather and would be judged the day of the event. The board was informed the event program will be moved indoors if rainy.

On financial matters the board approved the general fund manifest for $548,350.13 and a payroll manifest for $99,951.20 by voice vote.

Other routine business noted during the meeting included announcements about regional surveys and volunteer opportunities; the meeting then moved to a nonpublic session under the RSA cited on the record.

Ending: The board scheduled follow-ups on a number of administrative items; no additional formal actions on the cemetery trustees’ recommendation were recorded in the public portion of the meeting.","At its April 20 meeting, the Greenland Board of Selectmen voted to accept a $621.62 New Hampshire Department of Safety highway safety grant, approved meeting minutes, accepted a cemetery sexton resignation and approved a short road closure for a May 3 marker unveiling.
