Atkinson selectmen hold lengthy discussion on new police station after motion to disband location committee withdrawn
Summary
The Board of Selectmen discussed next steps for a new Atkinson police station on April 6 after a motion to abandon the existing location committee was withdrawn; no vote or site decision was recorded and the board left further action for future meetings.
Selectman Bill Friel introduced a motion to abandon the committee charged with locating a new police station, but he withdrew the motion during discussion on April 6. The board then held a lengthy, substantive discussion about how to move forward with the police station project; the minutes record no subsequent motion or vote on a site or next procedural step.
Board members and liaisons provided updates on several related items — including the Maple Avenue culvert, library matters and the budget committee — before focusing on the police station. Because the motion to disband the location committee was withdrawn, the existing committee’s status remained unchanged and no formal direction to staff was recorded in the minutes.
The discussion did not produce a formal decision; the item will remain on the board’s agenda for future consideration. The board’s next meeting is scheduled for April 20, 2026 at 6:00 p.m.
