Tanya (Heritage Commission) reported the developer was willing to “partner with us to put in a trail and picnic area” so the community could visit remnants of a sizeable historic mill operation. The property was originally sold with a condition to make community access available, and commission members said the developer’s cooperation could allow the town to re‑open access after years when the site was not reachable on foot.

The commission described a two‑phase possibility for site access and noted the plan would help replace some historic landmarks that may be lost under a separate reconfiguration project referenced in the meeting. The item was a report from the Heritage Commission; no formal board action or commitment of town funds was announced.","The Heritage Commission reported that a developer expressed willingness to preserve an old mill site near Ballard Truck Center and explore a trail and picnic area to provide public access; no formal agreements were made.",{"_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},6059077,"Select Board hears update on end‑of‑year budget estimates; staff to return with updated projections",147,1825000,1972000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3295658-6e4c8f68a9893f1641439749c16ae65e&start=1825&end=1972","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3295658-6e4c8f68a9893f1641439749c16ae65e/thumbnail_1825000.jpg","/articles/6059077/New-Hampshire/Select-Board-hears-update-on-endofyear-budget-estimates-staff-to-return-with-updated-projections","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6059077-7342b4c1f167e722bf11d04b17b04643/orig.mp4?Expires=1776575090&Signature=m1jMTL0sHZXSrcoPNQhRh5qiBObMktbNqFnnEqyMEoGRd3VsMqx0co4Yy~sUvz0nGjhRguPXj04B4w7DT749h29esapqnbAM4ee47EKMV1jtELOHcum854Uf5~W4YI~o~CukIB1mrd1klLu4V1P4YTgeGL~at2-4VH05onxZcqukT8x7TIKRtJTrJTTElLVpwhrOGlje6ROYYnRg6DUkAb4tAYl4qYnJsmLzdaliPRgcQ8lmcGvf3T~eFdkZnK7ZhKGcyX5j8SmTlSD0Nluqs4Eaj0xJP2mPflSOMURlsp2OieIibmE8c9MtxD~ciRhCFaCtqmvtqDbpGX2Ns7jeAQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Finance staff presented a report on May 13 showing departments’ appropriations, expenditures to date, and estimated remaining balances for the fiscal year, and asked the Select Board whether to proceed with proposed end‑of‑year purchases to offset next year’s projected costs.

Cheryl (staff) said the packet lists department appropriations, current spend, and estimated payables; staff had contacted department heads for anticipated late‑year expenditures. The report flagged a set of higher‑priced items likely to be billed before fiscal year‑end — voting machines, certain IT expenses and an expected second‑quarter prosecutor bill for the police department — and staff estimated legal fees to cover the next two months.

On the board’s direction, staff modeled using this year’s remaining operating funds to purchase items that would otherwise appear in next year’s operating budget. The board noted an estimated trash‑service impact for next year of about $180,000 and discussed timing for purchases; multiple board members said they wanted updated figures in about three weeks before making final decisions. Staff agreed to provide rolling updates at each meeting through the end of the fiscal year so the board could decide whether to make purchases this year.

Town staff reported the original bid came in higher; DPW staff and the project engineers worked with the contractor to reconsider some line items and reduce scope or methods where feasible so the project would fit the existing appropriation. The Select Board packet shows the FY24 project appropriation at $361,600. The board noted about $37,000 has already been spent on design and bidding; board members said the revised contract amount keeps the project within the overall appropriation.

A motion to approve and authorize David to sign the contract was made and seconded, and the board approved the authorization by voice vote. The board noted some scope and schedule adjustments (including material changes and a reduced police detail) were part of the negotiated savings, but the contractor will complete the revised scope under the new contract amount.

The board also authorized related administrative steps — including any necessary road‑closure coordination tied to construction — and confirmed staff would execute the contract under the revised terms.","The Select Board authorized Town staff to sign a revised $305,801.04 construction contract for the White Rock Falcon Way intersection project (project 24045) after negotiating to bring the bid under the FY24 appropriation.",{"_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},6059088,"Select Board approves two Girl Scout Silver Award projects with conditions",330,246000,576000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3295658-6e4c8f68a9893f1641439749c16ae65e&start=246&end=576","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3295658-6e4c8f68a9893f1641439749c16ae65e/thumbnail_246000.jpg","/articles/6059088/New-Hampshire/Select-Board-approves-two-Girl-Scout-Silver-Award-projects-with-conditions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6059088-dd6a765bf7c1d53caec69971fa93f2f1/orig.mp4?Expires=1776575090&Signature=HBSXDO1I~nIk3O6H7kRJyrj7Suq8PN4PiNIg8dyjv9QpJqLKC9qgxPtma4iDc2kqJD1fg1srovOGVp8J6u3nOGMIR1gA2xKc-NNPBjiuoUqadgC9rS91kh4gPak6mZiFFqskSjfreWQnUPl8muH4yahnedmI06kIeUVWmtSYvEs6p3FB6iLyz-WnsBa4uoh7TrGjl~RBclHkqj9trspbbbGQYbai1ZCOq7vUL9JlQmhSZkZ36QiVdHSorKmzMBqvV07pATTEri6m8PE7ZTM-yRvTWCiXbzycxTMBI3QRshWEnStm8rIEMNvSVF9JJFjhiXEyqOwwRs7SRVafz4W7Ww__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Bow Board of Selectmen on May 13 approved two Girl Scout Silver Award projects — a pollinator garden to be sited around the Old Town Hall on Bobo Road and a community “tackle box” to be placed near Towne Pond — with conditions that the scouts coordinate with town departments and the Heritage Commission before work begins.

The Scouts presented the proposals to the board. “Silver awards are given to Girl Scouts when they make something sustainable that helps the community,” Kaylee, a Girl Scout, told the board, saying the projects require roughly 50 hours of work including research, planning and building. For the pollinator garden the scouts proposed planting black-eyed Susan, milkweed, cardinal flower, Joe-Pye weed, New England aster and bee balm near the Old Town Hall; they estimated material costs would be “probably” up to $500 but said it would likely be less and could be in the $100–$200 range.

The board’s motion approving and endorsing the Silver Award proposals was made contingent on the scouts consulting both the Department of Public Works and the Heritage Commission “so we’re away from the road” and so the historic Old Town Hall is treated consistently with the town’s plans. The motion passed with all members voting in favor.

A second scout, Bella Archer, outlined a separate Silver Award plan to build a community tackle box — a weather‑resistant box stocked with donated fishing supplies that community members can borrow at Towne Pond. Archer said she had already secured Girl Scout Council approval for the idea and estimated the project materials at about $176.10 from troop funds raised through cookie sales. The board approved that project pending confirmation from the Fire Department and DPW on placement (the board expressed a preference for a location near the community/coffin building to avoid pond maintenance and snow‑storage areas).

Town staff agreed to send the Girl Scouts the town volunteer policy and emergency‑contact requirements so that volunteers working on town property are covered and emergency procedures are clear. Select Board members and staff offered to connect the scouts with DPW and Heritage Commission contacts by email so the scouts could incorporate that feedback before beginning their summer work.

The board characterized both approvals as endorsements that require follow‑up: the scouts must secure the town department sign‑offs and follow guidance from the Heritage Commission on work near the historic meeting house before planting or installing the tackle box.","The Bow Select Board unanimously approved two Girl Scout Silver Award projects — a pollinator garden at the Old Town Hall site and a community tackle box for Towne Pond — contingent on coordination with town departments and the Heritage Commission and confirmation of placement and volunteer protections.","actionData","errors"]
