Select Board accepts payroll and accounts payable, approves abatements and minutes, then moves to non-public session

The Select Board approved payroll and accounts payable totals and signed the treasurer’s report, approved several tax abatements and exemptions, and voted to enter a non-public session under RSA 91-A before adjourning the public meeting.

The meeting began with a motion to allow remote participation by Paul, which passed. The board then reviewed a detailed payroll and accounts-payable list. After cross-checking checks and invoices, members moved and seconded to accept corrected prior manifests and the day’s manifest; roll-call votes were taken because Paul was participating remotely. The town’s reported bank balances as of 07/07/2026 were read into the record by the chair, including invested funds and subfund balances.

The board moved to approve public minutes for 06/16/2026. A roll-call was held; some members indicated they had not received minutes electronically and one member recorded an abstention during the roll-call approval, but the minutes were approved.

Under old business, the board considered assessor-submitted abatements and credits. An administrative abatement for map lot 209065000 was motioned and approved. An elderly exemption that met requirements was also approved. A $327 state education tax credit for Eversource was approved as presented.

Before adjourning the public meeting, the chair moved to enter a non-public session under RSA 91-A (citing RSA 91-A:3, II (a) and (c)) to discuss hiring and reputation matters; that motion was seconded and approved by roll-call. The board left the public meeting for non-public consideration.

The board did not take additional public votes on the poor farm easement at this meeting; that item remains under review.
