Summary
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. The board also approved two manifests for payment.
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.
