The Barnstead Selectboard voted to authorize the chair to sign a building permit for a backroom renovation at town hall that will create an approximately 18-by-19-foot room to be used temporarily by the tax collector while the town pursues a later addition.

A committee member (Speaker 3) moved to have the chair sign the permit; the motion was seconded (second not clearly identified in the transcript) and the board voiced "Aye." Members said the enlarged room will be used for multiple town activities and will serve as interim space during construction.

Board members said the work involves structural supports to increase the size of the room and that the temporary relocations of staff would be short-term; the project will go out to bid and is expected to take a few months once work begins.
