Votes at a glance: minutes approval, grader repair, cistern bid authorization, truck sale and grant application
Summary
The selectboard approved acceptance of June 23 minutes, authorized a grader repair, agreed to seek excavation bids for a cistern near North Barnstead Road, voted to list an old utility truck for sale, and approved applying for a police grant; the board then voted to enter nonpublic session under RSA.
At the meeting the selectboard recorded several formal actions:
- Acceptance of minutes: The board approved the minutes of June 23 after a motion was made and seconded.
- Grader repair authorization: The board authorized $3,804.80 to repair the town grader; staff said the estimate includes work already performed and that diagnostic codes and calibration remain under review.
- Cistern ("sister") procurement: The board authorized staff to solicit excavation bids and gather final installation costs (crane, coating, excavation) for a proposed cistern near North Barnstead Road so the board can review a total project estimate during budget season.
- Utility truck disposition: The board agreed to list an old utility truck for sale (govdeals.com or similar) rather than retain or scrap it immediately; no buyer was identified at the meeting.
- Police grant application: The board voted to apply for a package of law‑enforcement equipment and mobilization funds (roughly $30,000 total as discussed) and to pursue reimbursement mechanisms and short‑term loans where applicable.
- Nonpublic session: The chair moved to enter nonpublic session "under RSA 91" and the board voted to go into nonpublic session.
These actions were taken by motion and voice vote as recorded in the meeting; the transcript includes the initial segments where each topic was introduced and the segments where motions were made and seconded. Staff will return with procurement, excavation and payroll details as directed.
