Summary
At their meeting, the Ossipee Selectmen approved a multi‑year contract, several clerical abatements and tax/water warrants, a land‑use change tax, minutes from June 3, and sealed nonpublic minutes; the board also introduced a new police recruit candidate.
The Ossipee Town Selectmen approved multiple routine administrative items during the meeting, including a three‑year contract, several clerical abatements, tax and water/sewer warrants, a land‑use change tax, and minutes from the previous meeting. The board also introduced a new police recruit applicant.
Chief (name not specified) introduced Cole Gray as a new police recruit applicant, noting Gray is 24, a Conway High School graduate, and a member of the U.S. Army Reserve. The board welcomed Gray but no formal appointment appears on the record; the chief later presented a contract for Nicole J. Craig running from June 30, 2025, to June 30, 2028. A motion to approve the contract as presented passed by voice vote.
The board considered three clerical abatements (refunds) recommended by the assessor: Map 130 Lot 12 Sub 037 (700 Route 16) — $107 plus interest; Map 73 Lot 109 Sub 023 (130 Gretchen Road) — $16 plus interest; and Map 107 Lot 34 (61 Roland Park) — $144 plus interest. The board approved all three clerical abatements by motion.
Selectmen approved multiple supplemental tax warrants and land‑use change taxes, including a supplemental warrant of $144 for Map 107 Lot 34 and a land‑use change tax of $4,900 for Map 119 Lot 31. The board also approved additional land‑use change and other tax adjustments described during the meeting.
The board approved water and sewer warrants (including a warrant of $12,364.48 and a monthly bill of $22,513.16) and accepted two abatements based on assessor recommendations reducing assessed values (one refund of $911.56 and another for utility poles of $1,956.14).
In addition to the motions approving routine items, the board voted to enter and exit three nonpublic sessions under RSA 91‑A (the transcript lists the RSA authority cited for nonpublic session entries) and later moved to seal the minutes from nonpublic session 2. The board approved the minutes from the prior Selectmen meeting by motion.
All procedural motions described were approved by voice vote as recorded in the meeting transcript. No roll‑call tallies were provided in the transcript for these items.
