Longer-form draft.

Transparency update regarding the Mason Select Board meeting held on May 12, 2026.

During the budget review, a notable oversight was identified: the internet access project for the tower site was omitted from the 2027 budget planning. While the Board has decided to move this project to 'future consideration,' residents should be aware that this critical infrastructure component is not currently funded in the upcoming budget cycle.

Additionally, the Board discussed upcoming changes to public safety spending. Chief Fortin is expected to restructure the Police Department budget for the next fiscal year. As this restructuring moves forward, taxpayers should look for specific details on how this will impact departmental operations and the municipal budget.

Finally, the Board reviewed recommendations from the NRPC aimed at identifying redundancies or conflicts in the Town’s Zoning Regulations. Because zoning changes can significantly affect property rights and development, residents should monitor how these recommendations are implemented. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/mason/select-board/2026-05-12/ #MeetingWatch #MasonNH
