Longer-form draft.
At the July 2 Board of Selectmen meeting, members approved hiring ADCOM Engineering LLC for the first phase of the dispatch study at approximately $29,600 plus limited expenses. Public commenters and some board members had raised questions about the proposal's cost analysis, comparisons to other New Hampshire centers, KPI data, and possible bias. The motion passed with instructions to negotiate an in-person presentation, cap expenses, and obtain those clarifications. Ashley will follow up at the next meeting. Separately, resident Christine Arseno raised visibility issues with the Pleasant Street crosswalk near Birch Acres. The board agreed the request for better signage or flashing beacons was reasonable and directed Public Works Director Sam Clark to evaluate options, with possible budget discussion later. All recorded votes were unanimous. Official minutes are not yet published. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/new-london/select-board/2026-07-02/ #MeetingWatch #NewLondonNH
