Delegation fills chair vacancy by voice, approves routine fee change and pays tribute to former chair Harry Bean
Summary
Representative Terry accepted the nomination and was approved as chair by voice consent, Representative Freeman was named vice chair, the delegation approved a routine fee inflation adjustment tied to RSA 104:313, and members offered tributes to former chair Harry Bean.
Delegates nominated and approved leadership and handled several non‑controversial agenda items before closing with personal remembrances for a longtime colleague.
Representative Contra nominated Representative Terry to fill a vacancy for chair; Terry initially declined but later accepted the nomination. With a single nominee, delegates closed nominations and, by voice/consent, approved Terry as chair for the remainder of the term. Representative Freeman was nominated and accepted the vice chair position by voice consent.
On a separate item, members considered a routine adjustment to user fees (cited as RSA 104:313). Chief Deputy McIntyre described the increase as an inflation adjustment tied to service costs for posting and processing (attorneys, landlords and others who pay for return service); delegates approved the fee update without objection.
In other business, multiple delegates offered personal tributes to former chair Harry Bean, describing his open communication with members, long service to the county and community engagement; one delegate said a local group is working on naming a landing at Salt Marsh Pond in his honor.
The delegation then proceeded to remaining business on the agenda.
