Longer-form draft.
At the October 20 Selectboard meeting, two residents raised specific questions about the absence of audited financial statements since 2022, the reasons the prior budget failed, and whether spending should shift from administration toward safety services and short-term rental oversight. The board declined to discuss any of it. The chair thanked the speakers and closed public comment. No answers were provided on the record. The same meeting approved $40,000 in line transfers and authorized the town manager to sign Community Power contracts. All votes were unanimous. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/sunapee/selectboard/2025-10-20/ #MeetingWatch #SunapeeNH
