Longer-form draft.
At the June 9, 2025 Hopkinton Select Board meeting, two medium-significance items were addressed even though they were not on the published agenda. The board discussed a Solar Net Metering Agreement from May 27 and directed staff to place it on the next agenda. An update on election expenditures was also provided, showing reimbursements reduced the overage to $1,622.87. Because these topics were not listed in advance, residents had no opportunity to review materials or prepare comments before the meeting. The board also deferred action on the Transfer Station gate system until the new Town Administrator begins, following a public inquiry on the timeline. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/hopkinton/select-board/2025-06-09/ #MeetingWatch #HopkintonNH
