A contractor proposed a mobilization deposit of $10,000, to be applied to the final balance, and an overall processing cost in the approximate range discussed in staff memos. The road agent and board members reviewed timing constraints, payment-processing timelines and how fast the contractor would be able to start. The contractor's equipment would also screen and crush the existing 6-inch-minus rock pile and the glass pile; crushed material would remain available for highway crews to load and use.

Selectmen clarified the procurement and payment schedule and confirmed staff's plan to process the deposit and invoice under their weekly manifest procedures. They asked to coordinate schedule details and noted the town would not necessarily need to encumber current fiscal-year funds because the work would begin after July 1.

The board agreed in principle to proceed and asked staff and the contractor to coordinate scheduling, documentation and final invoicing procedures; no formal vote was recorded in the minutes.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Board of Selectmen - June 17, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The town discussed a bid to crush glass and existing stone tailings on-site, with a $10,000 mobilization deposit and an expected per-ton value that could reduce future stone purchases for road work.","taxTitle","Loudon, Merrimack County , New Hampshire","taxId",61624,"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},6194169,"Selectmen plan public meeting and possible bond for Wells Bridge project after state timeline accelerates",202,3608000,3810000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3864804-dd0630414a56d6bc6af983d1194f21a2&start=3608&end=3810","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3864804-dd0630414a56d6bc6af983d1194f21a2/thumbnail_3608000.jpg","/articles/6194169/Loudon/Merrimack-County/New-Hampshire/Selectmen-plan-public-meeting-and-possible-bond-for-Wells-Bridge-project-after-state-timeline-accelerates","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6194169-ebcb1c1e6919e5f9561f9772ba8beb23/orig.mp4?Expires=1771185461&Signature=XJlvWNe6IaEgxAF1X7avDuRz1QOrJBNln8lhVcoSYaSBLy16Xfg-r6g1WHBi0Ujaw2uMhbxPQCh53YNvmIdXk1v4peenE2q9c7dL0L-W4xQrH1SWIv0rf2tvoH5XIT6jiUN3tajvW2YSCmvT-0~ZFa7p9rgfSWHbRnWEN65M7C2IDbpv3LwLlLMHxja9MnvkZGfdxOjfQffSR68d14GlqOnJ~iDLLdKts4~hijamAxR-zWszm~iZNqHsBi6FQVmx~TQ1DB5jlz2ZMxTkYr5wyFjGTvbZ3C-bM8WrDN~JoRlaR-dy6LTJC~YaaG8QA0Ia~M9QORaaUhYL5Hus7jBMFw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Loudon's selectmen told the public on June 17 they will hold a separate public meeting this summer to explain options for the Wells Bridge project after the state indicated a near-term timeline.

Board members said preliminary engineering and front-loaded costs would require substantial up-front funding and that a multi-year bond or warrant article is likely. One selectman described initial cost estimates of several million dollars and said preliminary engineering alone could require a half-million dollars to start the process. Another member suggested the town might prefer to invest in higher-traffic road projects if voters reject the bridge plan.

The selectmen agreed to invite a state representative to present options to residents in a standalone evening meeting and to prepare cost estimates including possible demolition scenarios and lifecycle costs. They discussed timing for a bond, the need for a warrant article at town meeting and the importance of giving residents clear options before asking for funding.

No final commitment or appropriation was made at the meeting; board members asked the administrator to arrange a public meeting in August or September, to invite state staff, and to solicit demolition and construction cost estimates prior to public outreach.","Board discussed the large projected cost to replace Wells Bridge, said the state is expecting an answer soon, and agreed to hold a public meeting and likely seek voter approval via a warrant/bond.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6194174,"Selectmen weigh raising police detail rates, debate supervisor and alcohol premiums for Speedway events",0,6000000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3864804-dd0630414a56d6bc6af983d1194f21a2&start=6000&end=6000","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3864804-dd0630414a56d6bc6af983d1194f21a2/thumbnail_6000000.jpg","/articles/6194174/Loudon/Merrimack-County/New-Hampshire/Selectmen-weigh-raising-police-detail-rates-debate-supervisor-and-alcohol-premiums-for-Speedway-events","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6194174-cbad1c55a6a05e86eeda59c975210189/orig.mp4?Expires=1771185461&Signature=AIRMQZ~S7Ddq2ysjlbvIvmh3hMQBLI88-~eeEuuHiYyeMPX8SBPHi4nI9XOQzagNB2VmRmYt-MmM~P0oi9hspjf3kmqr7uini-zb~qg~hjnsb9feNaYKY1PRmQRHiae8To57-7fWT3NUbWzH2Zt~UDgEMCKY6P-WqvQ3Zz0xFqHap2S8hOk39cgNjemzC86Y2y3us4YHv5tnNxz1J4GZoQcx6r7V6opsRd-fG7J1sbUj6C1joYq5W93Gdhs4U-W857o0Kr8UKyD32u3MvpluczN4gyeVY1PGAafsBKgreeZ2Cn1578jAIZW-CkydaGsLXIhESdVpFJVNfx64VdkUcQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Loudon's selectmen discussed raising police special-detail rates during their June 17 meeting, with the police chief recommending a $5 hourly increase across most categories and a higher supervisor rate for New Hampshire Motor Speedway events.

The chief said his intent was to bring Loudon detail pay closer to neighboring towns and proposed raising the total billable rate to $95 per officer in many cases, and an additional amount for supervisors at Speedway events. The proposal would keep a separate arrangement for cruiser fuel at Speedway events, a long-standing local practice whereby the Speedway provides fuel rather than paying the town's cruiser fee.

Board members asked for precise current figures and historical minutes before adopting any change. They asked the chief to email the existing schedule and to bring consolidated numbers to a work session for final action. One selectman said he was comfortable with a $5 raise and a Speedway supervisor premium, while others asked for clarity about how alcohol-serving events would be treated and whether the town should maintain a single generalized rate to avoid billing errors.

No vote was taken. The board asked staff to compile current rates, historical minute references, and to schedule the rate discussion for an upcoming work session where the board will consider a formal motion.","The board discussed a proposal to increase special-detail rates by $5 per officer and higher supervisor pay for large Speedway events; members asked for more precise current-rate figures before voting.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6194179,"Selectmen consider revoking NHMS demo-ride permit after board and police say no marshals were present",224,1574000,1798000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3864804-dd0630414a56d6bc6af983d1194f21a2&start=1574&end=1798","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3864804-dd0630414a56d6bc6af983d1194f21a2/thumbnail_1574000.jpg","/articles/6194179/Loudon/Merrimack-County/New-Hampshire/Selectmen-consider-revoking-NHMS-demo-ride-permit-after-board-and-police-say-no-marshals-were-present","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6194179-ff58900d11c3b826a2024737a20fab44/orig.mp4?Expires=1771185461&Signature=YFhTcksxaniCq3fZSwarSo9z-xzyuJFVYSxUGU5IZa5VATuvFAEqNZ7yqwwY3~6WChTwLREDZI0PkO0W4IznMRHflczXpggng4GEsz9PlIeAwJMPGEz6ylEc-QUGTxSsgdr-W-zKfQOVPat0LOfEQqYbnYlBPAWRv4JXxvN2oflRrJ6vH55LdBsHQHPA01Lr8vRVOHcNYeOTo5jwqGtiH2aq3IHOV3BDNuoHPKGhd3f2SWRZXROTptfPTN~rgtDKxdD5zvlhTzpXSk4ruTyda2ILUOx5JMRF-3Eeh0WJGfilOMI1wHJQ79kbm-j5ipApnVl0-hZr2jWBTtz1X4a8DQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Town of Loudon selectmen said this week they will seek legal advice and may revoke a permit for motorcycle demonstration rides connected to New Hampshire Motor Speedway after enforcement conditions were not met.

The issue surfaced during the board's June 17 meeting when the police and selectmen discussed reports that the demo rides tied to Motor Speedway events lacked the marshals required by the permit. The board directed staff to contact the town attorney about a potential revocation letter and said the chief of police should issue summonses if legal review supports enforcement.

The matter drew sustained attention during discussion about traffic and safety during 'bike week' and Speedway events. Police and selectmen described elevated speeds and two motorcycle crashes reported so far during the week-long events. The chief of police told the board he spent multiple hours monitoring the demo rides and said marshals required under the permit were not present on the route.

Board members discussed options under town ordinance, including sending a revocation letter and charging a $100-per-day penalty if conditions are not met. One selectman noted that even with a revoked permit, riding on public ways likely would continue, but noncompliance could trigger fines. The board agreed compliance staff should prepare a formal, attorney-reviewed letter and that the police chief should be prepared to issue citations if counsel advises.

Selectmen also discussed speed limits and whether additional local ordinances could affect enforcement; a member cautioned that state law limits the town's authority over some speed regulation. The board asked compliance staff to deliver the existing permit-related communications and verification that required notices were mailed.

The board did not vote to revoke the permit at the meeting but directed staff to reach counsel and prepare letter(s) and enforcement steps; the selectmen said they would revisit the matter once legal guidance is available.","Town leaders discussed complaints about motorcycle demo rides tied to New Hampshire Motor Speedway and whether to revoke the Speedway's permit after enforcement conditions requiring marshals were not met.","actionData","errors"]
