On Feb. 11 the Select Board approved minutes and a consent agenda including abatements and utility warrants (motions passed 2-0), certified both Town Meeting warrants, and assigned presenters for specific warrant articles ahead of Town Meeting.
At its Feb. 11, 2026 meeting the Jaffrey Select Board approved the public and non-public minutes of Jan. 28, approved the consent agenda and signed the Town Meeting warrants, assigning presenters for each warrant article.
On a motion by Selectman Andrew Lawn, seconded by Acting Chairman Charles Turcotte, the board approved the public minutes of Jan. 28, 2026; the same motion pair approved and sealed the non-public minutes (vote 2-0). The board also approved the consent agenda (motion by Turcotte, seconded by Lawn, 2-0), which included the payroll and vendor manifest; tax abatements (for example, a sewer abatement to the Jaffrey-Rindge Cooperative School District for $1,349.25 and a water abatement to Jeffrey Hurd for $22.72); multiple supplemental utility billing warrants for Ashworth Investments LLC (water and sewer line items) and a supplemental sewer billing for Teleflex, Inc.
