New London's Conservation Commission is facing two major questions following their July 15 meeting: Why is the budget in the red when it was projected to be in the black? And why isn't the town meeting its legal requirements for posting minutes? 🧵 #MeetingWatch #NewLondonNH

Second, transparency: Commission members noted that the town is failing to post draft minutes within the five-day window required by RSA law. This delay, attributed to town front desk vacancies, makes it harder for residents to stay informed.

The Commission is also looking ahead to safety and regulation, discussing a $15,000 Route 11 U-turn project and seeking clarity from the state (DES) on shoreline permitting oversight. We will continue to monitor these developments. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/new-london/conservation-commission/2026-07-15/

Longer-form draft.
Two significant concerns emerged during the July 15 New London Conservation Commission meeting: unexpected budget discrepancies and failures in administrative transparency. Despite previous projections showing an $800 surplus for the 2025-26 period, Commission members flagged an unexpected budget overage. The board is currently investigating the specific invoices causing this deficit to determine if funds must be pulled from town savings. This raises important questions about recent fiscal management and budget accuracy. Additionally, the Commission addressed ongoing issues with town transparency. Members noted that the town is not consistently meeting its legal obligation under RSA requirements to post draft minutes within five business days of a meeting. While administrative vacancies were cited as a cause, these delays hinder the public's ability to review decisions in a timely manner. Other topics discussed included a proposed $15,000 roadway safety project on Route 11 and the need for clearer coordination with the Division of Environmental Services (DES) regarding shoreline permitting. We will continue to track the results of the budget investigation and the town's ability to meet its posting obligations. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/new-london/conservation-commission/2026-07-15/ #MeetingWatch #NewLondonNH
