At the May 5 Brentwood Selectboard meeting, members approved revisions to the board's operating guidelines and appendices by a 4-1 roll call vote. The single opposing vote targeted the remote participation policy update, while changes to meeting frequency and agenda format passed as a package. Separate roll call approvals covered a $1,698 laptop purchase for the building inspector and a $4,750 fire panel replacement for the recreation building. A $2,800 cemetery tree removal expense was tabled until cemetery trustees meet to determine funding responsibility. The board also reached consensus to raise insurance requirements for events with bouncy houses from $300,000 to $1 million, though no formal vote occurred. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/brentwood/select-board/2026-05-05/ #MeetingWatch #BrentwoodNH
