Longer-form draft.
At its May 15 meeting, the Andover Select Board spent its time on an exploratory discussion of a strategic plan to carry out the Town Master Plan. The four focus areas named—fiscal responsibility, infrastructure, community engagement, and organizational effectiveness/governance—were not identified on the public agenda in advance. Board members raised points about tax collection practices, capital planning, quarterly financial reports, and a target unassigned fund balance of 10 percent. They also referenced a perceived gap between general resident satisfaction and a smaller group that feels disenfranchised. No votes were taken on plan content or next steps beyond assigning Chairman Dana Swenson to revise the draft framework. The meeting ended with a motion to adjourn at 3:34 PM. Official minutes are now available. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/andover/select-board/2026-05-15/ #MeetingWatch #AndoverNH
