Summary
At its April 8, 2026 work session the Warner Select Board unanimously approved several appointments and reappointments to town boards and voted to enter a non-public session under RSA 91-A:3 II(a) to discuss a personnel matter; the board signed required appointment documents and noted a brief Zoom interruption.
Chairman Alfred Hanson called the Warner Select Board work session to order at 5:03 p.m. April 8 and opened the agenda with a slate of appointments and reappointments to town boards.
The board unanimously approved a three-year reappointment of Barbara Marty to a full member seat on the Zoning Board of Adjustment (term 4/1/2026–4/1/2029) after a motion by Chairman Alfred Hanson and a second from Vice Chair Rick Bixby. Hanson then moved, with Bixby seconding, to appoint Ian Rogers as an alternate member of the Zoning Board of Adjustment for a two-year term (4/1/2026–4/1/2028); that motion also passed on a unanimous roll call vote.
The board handled two Planning Board vacancies in the same session. Hanson moved and Mike Smith seconded the reappointment of Barak Greene as a full Planning Board member for a three-year term (4/1/2026–4/1/2029); the motion passed on a roll call vote. The board also appointed Robert Holmes from an alternate position to a full Planning Board seat for a three-year term (4/1/2026–4/1/2029); that motion carried on a unanimous roll call vote.
Chairman Hanson moved, and Vice Chair Bixby seconded, to reappoint Sherry Colfer as an alternate trustee of the Pillsbury Free Library for a one-year term (4/1/2026–4/1/2027); the motion passed on a unanimous roll call vote. After the votes the Select Board signed the necessary appointment documents.
During the session Select Board member Michael J. Smith reported that a Zoom feed had stopped and been restarted to allow remote attendees to view the meeting.
Near the end of the work session the board voted to enter non-public session under RSA 91-A:3 II(a), which governs the dismissal, promotion or compensation of public employees and related personnel investigations. Chairman Hanson moved to enter non-public session, with Rick Bixby seconding; the board’s roll call vote was Bixby YES, Smith YES, Hanson YES. The board moved into non-public at 5:13 p.m.
The meeting record shows that the work session minutes were submitted on April 13, 2026, by Tracy Doherty and were edited by Judith Newman-Rogers, Select Board administrative assistant. The minutes do not specify any substantive action taken in non-public; the stated reason for the closed session was a personnel matter under RSA 91-A:3 II(a).
