Longer-form draft.
At the April 20 Selectboard meeting, several issues were discussed that directly impact Sunapee’s transparency and infrastructure management. First, the board addressed the need for clearer policies regarding ethics, specifically concerning potential conflicts of interest and the transparency of vendor relationships. While community members raised concerns about how policy violations are handled, the board's response was to 'clean up' existing policies at a later date. No immediate corrective actions or specific enforcement measures were adopted during the meeting. On the infrastructure front, the town is looking to reallocate $32,000 in FEMA funding. Engineering assessments determined that the damaged dry stack wall at Granite Ridge cannot be safely repaired through a partial fix. To avoid losing these 'use it or lose it' funds, the town intends to request that FEMA allow the money to be used for road gravel and repairs instead. Finally, the Route 11 traffic calming demonstration project is moving forward. As the planning progresses, the board faces the challenge of balancing pedestrian safety with resident concerns regarding snow plowing logistics and parking availability. The board has noted that they must consult with the DPW, Fire, and Police departments to ensure these changes are functional for town equipment. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/sunapee/selectboard/2026-04-20/ #MeetingWatch #SunapeeNH
