First, the Board approved a $10,000 encumbrance for electrical upgrades and a new color copier. While these are municipal needs, this spending decision was not on the public agenda, preventing residents from reviewing the request in advance.

Second, there was a discrepancy in the minutes approval. The agenda called for the approval of the June 1st minutes, but the Board instead approved the June 15th minutes. Precision in public records is vital for municipal accountability. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/holderness/select-board/2026-06-29/

Longer-form draft.
During the Holderness Select Board meeting on June 29, several items were addressed that residents may not have expected based on the published agenda. Most notably, the Board approved a $10,000 budget encumbrance to cover electrical upgrades in the Town Clerk/Tax Collector's office and the purchase of a new color copier. This spending decision was not listed on the public agenda, meaning residents were not given prior notice to prepare questions or review the necessity of these expenditures. Additionally, there was a procedural discrepancy regarding meeting records. Although the agenda specifically listed the June 1st minutes for approval, the Board instead approved the minutes from the June 15th meeting. When decisions involving town funds or official records deviate from the posted agenda, it limits the ability of the community to participate effectively in local government. We will continue to monitor how the Board handles agenda updates and public notice moving forward. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/holderness/select-board/2026-06-29/ #MeetingWatch #HoldernessNH
