Summary
The board reviewed a Littleton Fire & Rescue newsletter reporting a January medical call in Sugar Hill and asked Town Administrator Jennifer Gaudette to contact Littleton’s chief about future ambulance cost increases; resident Larry Sawyer also asked whether jake brakes fall under the town’s noise ordinance and the board noted Route 117 is a state highway limiting local options.
The Select Board reviewed a Littleton Fire & Rescue newsletter noting one medical call in Sugar Hill in January and asked Jennifer Gaudette to reach out to Chief Chad Miller in Littleton about potential ambulance cost increases and to keep Franconia informed of changes that could affect local coverage.
During the open-comment period, resident Larry Sawyer asked whether jake brakes are covered by the town’s noise ordinance. MR. BIELEFIELD said the board has investigated the matter previously and that because Route 117 is a state highway the town’s regulatory options are limited.
No formal action or ordinance change was taken during the meeting; the board’s next step was to contact Littleton’s fire and rescue leadership for more information.
