Francestown Select Board reviews bridge proposals, approves consent agenda and holds two RSA-authorized non-public sessions
Summary
The Select Board reviewed three proposals for the Old County Road North Bridge and deferred final selection to a later meeting with Mr. Pike, approved a consent agenda that included a $134.48 Fire & Rescue Trust Fund acceptance for nitrous oxide equipment, and held non-public sessions regarding a public health hazard and pending litigation (both RSA 91-A:3 entries).
The Francestown Select Board reviewed procurement items and handled routine business during its April 6 meeting.
On routine business, the board approved the consent agenda, which included payroll and accounts payable manifest dated April 8, 2026, and accepted unanticipated funds under RSA 31:95-b for the Fire & Rescue Trust Fund totaling $134.48 for nitrous-oxide equipment. Select Board member Scot D. Heath moved to accept the consent agenda; Charles M. Pyle III seconded and the motion passed.
The board also voted to approve minutes from its March 30, 2026 meeting (motion by Pyle, seconded by Heath; motion passed).
Regarding capital projects, the board reviewed three proposals for the Old County Road North Bridge project. Members scored the proposals and agreed to discuss them further at the next meeting with Mr. Pike. The board likewise deferred detailed review of RFPs for the baseball-field renovation and landscaping equipment to the next meeting.
Town staff reported no new contact from the resident interested in purchasing a town-owned lot (Map 5, Lot 52); no action was taken.
The board held two non-public sessions under the right-to-know statute. At 5:45 p.m. the board entered non-public session under RSA 91-A:3, II(c) to discuss a public health hazard; the board exited that session at 6:49 p.m. and voted to seal the minutes on the grounds that disclosure would likely render the proposed action ineffective. Later, at 7:07 p.m., the board entered non-public session under RSA 91-A:3, II(e) to discuss pending litigation and exited that session at 7:15 p.m. The meeting adjourned at 7:16 p.m.
Minutes were signed by Administrative Coordinator Sarah Morin and approved April 13, 2026.
