Longer-form draft.

On November 3, the Sunapee Selectboard discussed a proposed HB467 social district allowing outdoor alcohol consumption between two businesses. The item was not on the published agenda. A petition warrant article is now planned.

The same meeting included unlisted discussion of a full-time fire chief position at roughly $36,000 minimum annual cost, to be placed on the warrant. Maintenance planning gaps at Tilton Park and Buildings & Grounds staffing shortages were also raised with no agenda notice and no board action taken.

A resident asked the board to reconsider the Community Power authorized officer appointment to improve accountability and prioritize affordability. The board acknowledged the comment but took no further steps. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/sunapee/selectboard/2025-11-03/ #MeetingWatch #SunapeeNH
