Residents had petitioned for a policy requiring collective authorization of legal work and shared information. The new subcommittee routes questions through the same two members. Chair said it will reduce unnecessary attorney time and report back to full council.

Longer-form draft.
At the June 15 Town Council meeting, members voted 3-2 to form a legal subcommittee consisting only of the chair and vice chair. This came after residents highlighted $281,298.98 in legal bills through March, with those two positions responsible for the large majority of contacts. The proposal was presented as a way to control costs, but opponents argued it gives unilateral authority to the same members already driving the spending and bypasses the charter rule that the council must act as a body. The same meeting saw a 4-1 vote to authorize a SAFER grant application for eight new firefighter positions. The grant covers three years of federal funding, after which the town would face an estimated $1M+ annual cost. The chair voted no, and two other members said the long-term commitment should go through the regular budget process rather than an outside grant. Resident Glenn Douglas raised multiple prior questions on the 14% budget increase, missing consent agenda items, and animal control operations. Council provided one legal fee figure in response and took no further action on the rest. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/londonderry/town-council/2026-06-15/ #MeetingWatch #LondonderryNH
