The hydro dam discussion noted the town will fail its FERC inspection again due to deferred maintenance. The board approved a new bidding process through CMA engineers in principle. No prior notice was given to residents about safety implications or capital needs.
Personnel updates were presented as information only. New hires were described as addressing workload, yet the public had no opportunity to review or comment on the staffing decisions before they were announced. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/sunapee/selectboard/2026-06-15/
On June 15 the Sunapee Selectboard discussed and moved forward on hydro dam repairs tied to an expected FERC inspection failure. The topic did not appear on the published agenda, so residents had no advance notice of the safety and maintenance issues or the planned bidding process through CMA engineers. The same meeting included off-agenda personnel announcements: a new Buildings & Grounds foreman start date, a 1099 code compliance hire, and the July 10 resignation of staff member Josh. These updates were noted without prior public listing. The board approved a $65,000 contract for George's Mills boat launch stabilization and appointed two fire wards, both of which had clearer agenda placement. The off-agenda items received no public comment opportunity before action. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/sunapee/selectboard/2026-06-15/ #MeetingWatch #SunapeeNH
