June 8 Board of Selectmen meeting: members voted to permanently shift meetings to 4pm starting June 22. Item never appeared on the public agenda. No prior notice means residents could not plan to attend or comment. #MeetingWatch #SpringfieldNH

The stated reason is alignment with new clerk hours and staff safety. Vote was unanimous. Changing the meeting schedule without agenda listing limits public access to local government.

This was one of several actions taken June 8 that bypassed listed agenda items. Residents who rely on evening meetings now face reduced ability to participate directly. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/springfield/select-board/2026-06-08/

Longer-form draft.
At the June 8 Board of Selectmen meeting, members approved moving all future Selectboard meetings to a 4pm start time beginning June 22. The change was not on the published agenda, so residents received no advance notice and could not prepare input. The board linked the shift to new clerk office hours and staff safety concerns. The motion passed unanimously. Evening meetings have historically allowed broader resident attendance. Separately, two residents raised repeated concerns about heavy equipment activity at the Sanborn Hill Road site after a residential zoning permit. The board noted prior reports but offered no specific enforcement timeline or next steps. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/springfield/select-board/2026-06-08/ #MeetingWatch #SpringfieldNH
