Barnstead Selectboard approves minutes, approves volunteer training; nonpublic motion fails for lack of second
Summary
The Selectboard accepted corrected minutes, approved a volunteer emergency‑management training request at no cost to the town, agreed to deposit $2,025 police auction proceeds into a department account, and a proposed nonpublic session under RSA 91‑A did not receive a second.
The Barnstead Selectboard handled routine business items including approving corrected minutes, authorizing a volunteer emergency‑management training, and agreeing to place police auction proceeds into the appropriate departmental account.
A committee member moved to accept the minutes of May 20, 2025; the board approved the minutes by voice. The board also moved to accept the minutes of May 27, 2025; that motion was approved with one member stating they would abstain. The Selectboard agreed a $2,025 payment from the auction of a police vehicle should be deposited into the police vehicle/special revenue account per past practice.
The board approved a volunteer emergency management director’s request to attend an ICS train‑the‑trainer course; the course carries no direct tuition cost to the town and the director serves in a volunteer capacity.
At the end of the meeting the chair moved to enter a nonpublic session under RSA 91‑A (referenced in the transcript as “91 dash a semicolon 3…”), citing the statutory subsections typically used for personnel/real estate or reputational matters. The motion did not receive a second and therefore was not adopted.
Next steps: staff to post approved minutes and process the auction deposit to the designated account.
