Summary

The New Durham Select Board voted to reestablish a Record Retention Committee under RSA and immediately appointed multiple members, waiving the usual vetting period; appointments included Alicia Hauser and Susan Stilwell with terms set to expire March 31, 2029.

The board voted to reestablish the town's Record Retention Committee under RSA 33:8-3 and to appoint members immediately, bypassing a typical vetting period. The motion to reestablish the committee passed 3–0, and the board then moved to appoint members to terms expiring March 31, 2029.

Alicia Hauser (speaker 9), who earlier described the committee's purpose, said the committee will inventory town records, establish procedures for storage and disposal under RSA requirements and evaluate which records must remain in paper form. "Every town must have a record retention committee to help maintain what records how records should be stored, when records can be disposed of, and just the aspects of keeping things organized," Hauser told the board. The board appointed Alicia Hauser, Susan Stilwell, Janelle Brown (name corrected during the meeting), Kathy Orwitz and others to the committee.
