Scott said the town received $488,000 from the EDA for downtown drainage work; he specifically thanked staffers and congressional and senatorial offices that aided the process. He told the board that the Loon Lake Road project would begin site mobilization Monday, June 16, with construction to start Monday, June 23, and that letters and detour signage would be sent to affected residents on Loon Lake Road and Chason Road.

On paving, Scott listed streets milled and repaved as of June 4 (portions of Merrill Street and Langdon Street, and all of Winter Street) and said additional paving after July 1 will include Old Ward Bridge Road (including sidewalk work), Loon Lake Road and culvert replacements on Texas Hill Road. He said the town is awaiting FEMA reimbursement for the Texas Hill Road work related to a December storm.

Scott described Highland Street as advancing through preliminary design with NHDOT and engineering consultants. He said final design requires signed easements and permits and that the project is expected to begin in summer 2026; he confirmed the project will include a roundabout near the Highland Street–Tenney Mountain Highway area to improve traffic flow near the school.

Scott updated the board on welfare work: in April the town’s welfare director (Mary Ann) had 45 consultations for rent, utilities, food, medication, shelter and burial expenses. Scott said the town budgeted $50,000 for welfare in the 2024–25 budget, that as of June 2 the town had expended $59,000, and that the 2025–26 welfare budget is $60,000; he said the overall 2024–25 budget remained in good shape with 13.57% remaining.

Scott also reported that an assessing contractor, Whitney Consultants, is progressing on a full property revaluation; he said the assessor’s page and project information have been published in the town’s newsletter. On technology, Scott said the town’s new IT consultant (Sousor/SUSOR) completed department evaluations and will submit tech-upgrade recommendations and a budget for board review on June 23.

Board members asked about crack sealing and pothole schedules; Scott said crack sealing is part of the paving program and that highway crews continue active pothole patching when conditions permit. He also said Highland Street design still requires a few contract modifications, including right-of-way easement preparation and final design permitting.

Scott closed by encouraging residents to follow the town website and newsletter for updates; the board scheduled follow-up meetings where appropriate for CIP, tech recommendations and life-safety agreement discussions with Plymouth State University.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Plymouth Selectboard - 6/9/25","oneSentenceSummary","Plymouth’s town manager told the Select Board the town received a $488,000 EDA reimbursement, detailed Loon Lake Road and paving schedules, reported welfare caseload and budget figures, and summarized an IT evaluation and property revaluation progress.","taxTitle","Plymouth, Grafton County, New Hampshire","taxId",61623,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6203523,"Select Board reviews ambulance contracts that shift billing to reimburse Plymouth for full transport costs",685,588000,1273000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3782934-17a7d45e4e4effa59bdd19f53d3d5f75&start=588&end=1273","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3782934-17a7d45e4e4effa59bdd19f53d3d5f75/thumbnail_588000.jpg","/articles/6203523/Plymouth/Grafton-County/New-Hampshire/Select-Board-reviews-ambulance-contracts-that-shift-billing-to-reimburse-Plymouth-for-full-transport-costs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6203523-7dd12a275835f212af75bc6f26fd581a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771295801&Signature=XveCuoWs7WflZufweu5MX3jTzjMGujB4XEXn4O1sV-1aEl9QlhuXuZvRKdF1Gm4NX~oxIT6wurL0hKmYNKadLTjI0Y~R9ePMva0RXeWiiu~OdstAfupvJkNekK1x6KV4Ca0b60stKtXlfB5FnWHml~2BNTzMcJ0EIB3tTDg~88TprNxYQ9JfHWpHaqDcfGJM3NIQL1~4D2b4tu7CVWWQCWXf33mLlCH5XK-Cq~1fn9zdF-KrpJBd70DAkpFAWmWRMHYFfCNlaKwE84C1iFyTtU62gTZcfnsBP~y3j~dB7E~omRdaYA2D-zavgnTUSOsSxpHj92ecOI2ZKMUchWRIVA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Plymouth Select Board reviewed 2025–26 ambulance service contracts with neighboring towns and discussed the town’s revised billing methodology designed to recover 100% of ambulance transport costs.

Town Manager Scott told the board that contracts for Ashland, Holderness, Bridgewater, Romney and Dorchester will be in the signature file; the agreements implement a billing process the town revised two years ago after collection shortfalls. Scott said the town now separates fire and ambulance budgets to track ambulance costs precisely.

Scott explained the reimbursement workflow: the town invoices each contracting community quarterly for transports, reconciles the call records with the town, and at year end issues checks to the contractor town for amounts collected from commercial insurers, private pay and Medicaid. Scott said that in the 2024–25 fiscal year the town's per-transport cost averaged $1,140 and that the cost for 2025–26 is budgeted at $1,373 per transport. Under the contracts, the town aims to be reimbursed for its full cost rather than rely on the portions previously retained from collections.

The Select Board received multiple service contracts for signature (meeting materials included the Dorchester contract and others in the signature file). No roll-call vote was recorded during the presentation; Scott asked the board to place the documents in the signature file for execution starting July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026.

Board members asked clarifying questions during the presentation and thanked staff for the explanation on the reassessed billing process and reconciliation procedures. The meeting record indicates staff will complete contract signatures and proceed with the quarterly invoicing and year-end reconciliations under the updated method.","The Select Board reviewed and placed in the signature file 2025–26 ambulance service contracts that use a new billing methodology intended to reimburse the town 100% of transport costs; managers described quarterly reconciliation and year-end settlement procedures.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6203528,"Select Board approves $15,795 gutter replacement at Pease Public Library",143,923000,1066000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3782934-17a7d45e4e4effa59bdd19f53d3d5f75&start=923&end=1066","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3782934-17a7d45e4e4effa59bdd19f53d3d5f75/thumbnail_923000.jpg","/articles/6203528/Plymouth/Grafton-County/New-Hampshire/Select-Board-approves-15795-gutter-replacement-at-Pease-Public-Library","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6203528-3c8d27a1f971d716e45624c5bebb98f8/orig.mp4?Expires=1771295801&Signature=NPcVdtt27H4W~V8I50bZuBm6ZNfpj3gFlffVckKD~JLIcyYIhUUPq35Hp9aPGtZw~WVphZCJmZD5wd5Q4KHwNT9bwbZm94P9x779YMi~mph9zTrRu4u7kE1Jz9CajHtrHLDGGIHYPJa8omy8CRcvNd6givAHg7diHzLo27n~9HCrdhRp5FIR3t~Cx9YEO8xvVxUh7A~FFFsaNri15sIMzB2FydKhpBlGGUBet-REiNiiJkPLgyYepHCiPhVzL48-W~CnnnFvEC-OpdFMwKWLuz~6OLKTLExiNhKeu9e2r2zOl7esvezuOMm-qXz7QNQZZHSGqLlmZ-yAmVbCPg~Vbg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Plymouth Select Board voted to award a $15,795 contract to Gutter Done LLC to replace gutters and install covers at Pease Public Library.

Town Manager Scott presented the purchase order to the board, saying the library’s trim boards were rotting because water was falling beside the foundation and that gutter replacement was included in the 2025–26 capital improvement plan. Scott said staff obtained three written quotes: Gutter Done LLC ($15,795), Lake Region Gutter System ($17,850) and A HO Gutters ($20,203), and recommended Gutter Done based on price and prior work for the town.

A Select Board member moved to allocate $15,795 to Gutter Done LLC for installation of 370 linear feet of white gutters, 261 linear feet of downspouts and 370 linear feet of gutter covers; the motion was seconded and approved by the board. No roll-call votes were recorded in the minutes; the chair called for general approval and the motion passed.

Board members said they were pleased to see gutter covers included in the scope to improve durability through the winter and snow season. The action was entered in the meeting’s signature file for formal execution.

The work is intended to protect library building trim and foundation and was budgeted in the town’s 2025–26 CIP schedule. Timing for installation was not stated at the meeting.","The Plymouth Select Board approved a $15,795 purchase order for gutter replacement and covers at Pease Public Library, selecting Gutter Done LLC after reviewing three quotes; the work was part of the town’s 2025–26 CIP.","actionData","errors"]
