Albany Select Committee approves minutes, consent items and authorizes office repairs and a clock purchase
Summary
The committee approved minutes and the consent file, signed manifests, authorized painting and ceiling repairs for the town office, and approved purchasing a battery-operated clock; members also disclosed a prior non-public session whose minutes were sealed under RSA 91-A:3 II(a).
The Albany Select Committee on April 8 approved routine minutes and consent items, signed payroll/accounts-payable manifests, authorized office repairs and painting, and approved buying a battery-operated clock for the meeting room.
At the start of the meeting Chair opened with a disclosure that the committee had met in a non-public session under RSA 91-A:3 II(a) and that those non-public minutes were sealed. The committee then moved to approve Selectmen meeting minutes for March 25, 2026 and the consent file. A committee member moved to approve the minutes "as presented" and another member seconded; the motion carried after the Chair called for the ayes.
The Town administrator reported that appointment forms from the prior Selectmen's meeting required signatures, and presented warrant/tax levies related to timber cuts and an MS-2 form ready to be signed. The Town administrator said she had followed DRA guidance to list a recent amendment under an administrative "town meeting amendment" budget line in QuickBooks so the line remains available in future budgets.
On facilities, the committee discussed converting space for storage and debated whether to secure or close a window in the supervisor's/checklist room to protect election materials. The committee approved a motion to authorize painting and repair of ceiling and office areas after members noted a previous leak. A separate motion to purchase and mount a battery-operated clock (mounted low enough for accessibility) was moved, seconded and approved.
All procedural motions recorded in the transcript were approved by voice vote; individual roll-call tallies were not recorded in the meeting transcript. The committee adjourned after the final motion passed.
What happens next: the Town administrator will proceed with signing the cited forms and coordinating repairs and the minor procurement; the solid-waste and planning boards will proceed with their scheduled meetings.
